Hi, thanks but my bike is an RS so the mirrors ( JOKE ) are on the fairing.

Cheers Darryl

Re: Advice please on Front master cylinder conversion

Thanks Moosehead, sounds like i may be able to sort this quite cheaply then. The guy that i am buying the MC from is checking for other bits that will help out for the switch over.

Cheers Darryl

Re: Dropping in as the weather changes

"Hi and I'm back from my retirement ride." Anyway, I got back just one week shy of two months on the road on August 13th after covering 10,000 miles riding around the USA in a mostly clockwise direction. It was terrific ... just what I needed to ease into retirement. I blogged about the t...

Re: Advice please on Front master cylinder conversion

13mm is good. Is the mc twin throttle cable or is it set up for single cable with splitter? You will need top hydraulic brake hose, plus splitter that fits where existing undertank MC is. One of the wires that goes to undertank level warning light will needed to go to earth, or your other warning l...

Advice please on Front master cylinder conversion

Hi, i have a 1980 BMW R100RS which is fitted with the standard 40mm ATE calipers and cable operated under tank master cylinder.

Re: Pretty new here so this is my bike.

Sweet RS –– ride the piss out of it but don't fuck with it ... much ... Only Goose I've ever owned was a race prepped 78 LM-1. My favorite in terms of pure enjoyment, but not up to the task of functional utility. I know what you mean. I sold this to buy my R100RS. It was a great bike, 2004 with 3k ...

Re: Pretty new here so this is my bike.

That is a fine-looking bike Darryl. It's really good to see that you got it all together and working . I especially like the RED spark-plug wires!! Neat touch. Ride careful, Rubber side down and all that. Thanks Jean, the bike is exactly as i bought it in August and condition wise is as the photo. ...

Re: Pretty new here so this is my bike.

The Beemer looks real good. If you need more mirror, there have been some discussions of that on this forum. Some riders add mirrors from other models or what I've done is to buy mirrors from the later model RS from the dealer. They are very reasonable in price. Chuey Funny you should mention the m...

I'm pretty new here, so this is my bike.
