Re: Crash bars fitted
Grant, thanks mate, yeah, I am trying to make it. Not 100% yet as it will depend on how the renovation I am working on is going, and also there are a few other potential problems that could arise. If I can make it will be only for the Saturday night, so meeting up early Saturday morning sounds great...

Re: New to me: R80G/S
Gday Bob, thanks mate, good to hear from you. I too was looking for one of these bikes before I ended up with the R90, for the same reason. Then came the plans to build the spares bike (parts pile) I got with the R90 into some sort of GS frankenbeemer thing. Until I found this one, that was the way ...

Re: Crash bars fitted
Visually, I like them on some bikes, and don't like them on others. They look good on yours. The ones on my G/S are pretty banged up. Don't know if I will keep them or not. At the moment I have got one original boxxy valve cover on one side, and a round valve cover on the other side. Can't even deci...

Re: New to me: R80G/S
Cheers Steve, I've just pulled out my speedo- looking a bit rough in there. Lots of rust. The axle for the odometer (with the worm drive gear on the end) had slid out of its place- hence why that probably stopped working. The little coil spring thing under the speedo needle was all twisted up and bu...

Re: New to me: R80G/S
The pn's for the 80 v the 65 are different, so they're not a direct swap. However, once you open yours up, you may find lots of corroded/damaged/kaput intrinsic pieces in there, so the bits and pieces from the 65 speedo might be useful if needing to substitute parts. Re: ratio's etc, I guess a dece...

Re: New to me: R80G/S
I'd be interested in some more parts for my /6 project. Let me know what you are after and I'll try to help if I can. A few bits and pieces I will be keeping for spares (gearbox's, probably engine) but most of it will be going. Some of my stuff is not /6- indicators, frame... some of it is a bit ro...

Re: New to me: R80G/S
ontic, You need to change your signature...you've got another bike!! On a more sober note, 3K seems like a lot considering the condition...but I don't know what bikes are going for down there... Signature: will do. Price: yeah, don't get me wrong. $3K seems a lot of money to me for a bike in this c...
