Another afternoon in the shop. I couldn't resist getting the aforementioned SS wingnuts for the battery mount. I should have! Holy crap, nearly $5 each, local hardware price. But they work nice and look good. At that price, though, I did resist getting a pair for the tank mount! I've...

Excellent! I'd been wondering what happened to you.

Yesterday when I was looking at the battery stay bar I noticed that the rubber O-ring used to hold the side covers in place had broken... and the thing hasn't even been ridden yet! Not cool, you don't want the things to break, ever, but especially not when you're riding; that = side cover gone...

1975 BMW R90/6

Thank you! It's coming along. Pretty soon I'll be able to get some glamour shots and call it done... for now. I still want to find a solo seat and a small rack for over the rear fender but that'll come. I found a guy on the Vintage BMW Owners group that's got a new seat he is willing to sell...

Nice job, looks great! Ha ha, your shop almost looks scary w/o the '49 p/u on there! Would ya look at all that room! No, wait, that's the garage... :D

Well, it's been a bit of time. I've been dealing w/ the phantom electrical issue that kept things stalled. Putting the long story into a much much shorter format it was determined that I needed a new headlight relay, specifically a SPDT 30, 85, 86, 87, & 87b. I'll admit to not knowing much...

Looking great.

Still interested. Nice project and excellent organized reporting. Great job.

Nice score. When I was I kid my dad use to take me to hill climes. There were always the big power & big noise guys who tried to speed their way up the hill, but I was always amazed at the number of guys who "chug, chug, chuged" their way, clear to the top, on Trail 90s and 125s Tough little...

Looking good, Nick.

BMW part$, holy cow. I started looking for a replacement headlight relay and found them in several different places priced from $35 to $99. One of the guys from the Vintage BMW group sent a message saying that he gets his at the link in his message. Amazon, 2 for $9.99. Yeah, ordered...

Wow, nice! That's gunna be the nicest '49 Effie out there... not cuz it's fancy, but cuz it's real.

No posts for a while and now no pix, but I've been spending time and have made some progress. I had an operating brake light from the rear brake peddle but not the front lever. Replaced the switch on the MC, which I should have done as part of the rebuild, and that's working as it should be...

Gunna try... will see if I've got something to ride by then.

Best wishes to you and your countrymen. I'm hoping things can go your way and that some kind of lasting peace and security can come to your homeland.

Yeah, it sux, but at least, as they say, all's well that ends well. Though I'm not into luck, superstition, or omens, I did go and buy a lottery ticket earlier today. Now they just have to draw the right numbers. Since there was no real damage it did work out ok for me. I was able to put the...

The wires are pulled into place and I'm ready to hook everything up and put the tail light in. Still have to re-do the pannier wiring on the left side. All this has to get stuffed in there w/ some kind of order and coherence, I decided to save that for tomorrow... because: For those of...

I just keep beating away at it... These are the little pigtails for the tail light end of the tail/brake and turn sets in the Wixom bags. Though I plan to leave the bags on all/most of the time it's pretty obvious that they'll need to be easily disconnected when necessary. I'm sure somebody...

Best of luck w/ everything. I can really identify w/ all that; I've got another cornea transplant needed sometime, a shoulder replacement that I keep putting off, probable vascular bypass surgeries behind the knees, and dental surgery that I'm just trying to ignore. Think I'll tell 'em to jack...
