Hello, I've been searching the web for a few hours trying to find a Pirelli MT90 19 inch tire. The only one I can come across in the U.S. is a 21 inch tire. I'm positive Pirelli makes a 19 inch version (www.pirelli.com/tire/us/en/motorcycle/sheet/scorpion_mt_90_a-t.html), and have found it on...

Before I take the time to list all of these parts on eBay, I thought I'd post them on here. The following parts have been taken off a 77 BMW R60/7. Pictures and more details upon request. Just make an offer. For sale: Rear Fender Front Fender Rear turn signals Front turn signals Taillight 7"...

Looking for a fender to chop into a short nubby fender / splash guard you see on most brats. Haven't been able to find a good resource site for buying just a fender, and I feel like paying 100 - 140 for a fender I'm going to cut down is kind of dumb. My rear tire is like 4 1/2" - 5" Any one...

Working on my BMW R60/7 and am going to need a brat style seat soon. Anyone in the dirty south specialize in custom seats? I've got plenty of examples of what I want. I'll drive 6ish hours for quality. Zip code: 39553 Let me know! Would love to work together. Thanks

You'll have to let me know next time you come through. We pronounce it "Go-shay" as well. Know any powder coaters around here or you man? Engine is out, and once I cut the sub frame and make a few other changes, everything will be ready for paint.

Name: Henry Bayuzick Location: Gautier, Mississippi Occupation: Web Developer / Graphic Designer Age: 19 Bikes: In the middle of building my BMW R60/7 into a bobber/cruiser. Engine comes out tomorrow, getting the frame (once the subframe is shortened), wheels, and some other stuff powder coated...

Today I finally started pulling apart the wiring and labeling everything to simplify it quite a bit. The inside of my headlight housing looks like spaghetti and someone has definitely changed some things. Not too bad, but I am somewhat new to electrical, so I'm taking my time. Anyways, there's...

Spark is blue Currently set at what the manual said. I think 1 3/4. Plug is new, but we didn't gap them at all. Float is at 24mm whatever it says in the manual. Almost positive the timing is correct. Haven't touched the valves. Any ideas? Just won't start. >:(

There is no air filter currently, just wide open. The exhaust is also cut. Correct hot plugs. And we replaced the slow jet with an OEM replacement. Pretty sure it's not the timing. Would a video help you diagnose the problem? I think we've narrowed it down to the carb. Would you be willing to...

Over the past month I've been converting my old Honda CL125 scrambler into a cafe racer for fun. The only problem: it won't run. We've adjusted the points and I think the timing is correct. I have not tested the compression but it "feels" good. It's got spark. And gas is going into the carb...

So the other day I bought my first airhead. It's a R60/7 with 63,000 miles on it. By the looks of it, it's had a lot of owners with a lot of different ideas. For example, it's duel plugged. Anyways, today I replaced all 4 plugs, 2 were one size, 2 were another size which was weird, but after a...

What kind of bike?

Good to know. Is there any kind of group? Would love to meet everyone, see their bikes, and hangout.

I've been reading through his site quite a bit. Haven't begun to try anything yet. I'm a little gun shy. If I remember correctly, you don't have any gauges correct? Would be easy to do a speedo like this http://blitz-motorcycles.com/storage/bikes/bmwr100green/5.jpg using the existing hookup...

It really is trashed. I swapped the turn signal bulb and the gen bulb (only two that are the same sizes) and now neither of them work. I don't think working with this instrument board is worth it. Like I said to Matty, maybe a good time to start with new gauges? That being said, haven't really...

Matty, You just replied to my email and accepted me into your facebook group! If you could, take a quick look at the picture I posted above. The inside of my cluster is mangled. There has been some major tinkering. I wasn't really planning on using the stock gauges, so maybe instead of trying...

Re: RE: BMW rider from Mississippi (pictures) Trust me, I'm pretty scared of cutting anything. Would ideally like to build one that I could reverse. I agree it is over played, but not in my area. All there is is loud Harleys. Just waiting for that inspiration moment where I decide what I want...

Okay, I took it apart and found some folded paper and scotch tape. :o Look at the attached images. I would also like to mention that this has been converted to a duel plugged boxer a long time ago. The person I bought it from said it may be a 6V system...not sure if that makes sense. Could that...

I think I am going to cafe it. Just trying to gather ideas and get inspired and do everything tastefully. I really need some good resources for quality parts before I start. Also not sure if I want to buy a seat or do it myself. I've never dealt with fiberglass. Just want this bike to be a looker.

Thanks for the pointers! I'm a tad confused with the charge light though. This is what lights are on when I turn the key on. Is the charging light "Gen"? If so, it's not on. What's the first step to troubleshooting this. The battery is a week old.
