    year?

    Plymouth, eh? I'm west of there about 30 or so miles...

    reynolds ride off

    I've used countless tires and different brands on my Bxrs, and most have had ride offs.

    on a /7:
    seems the BMW batteries went in easiest, by tipping the tray
    Yuasa was a bit more of a problem

    sorry

    Didn't intend to inundate this thread with oilheads...
    So as reparation, here's an airhead to ponder. Nico-Bakker's "Kangaroo":...

    my thought

    check out this one, and imagine, if you will, a LuftKopf engine instead of the oilhead that was used...K frame as a stable platform / chassis... simple, reliable air-head engine... just my thought....

    why?

    OK. I can understand, no, I can ACCEPT that.

    seems the bike was built for some "lightweight racing class" in Europe.
