Re: Rob Needs a New Transmission

Don't give up on it Rob; maybe you should reread "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

Re: Rob Needs a New Transmission

Soak it overnight with PB Blaster penetrating oil. Are you using a slide hammer with a coarse sheet metal screw?

Ray, I found mine used on e-bay in nice condition. I think Bob's or Hucky's was selling new flaps, but they were quite expensive.

Re: BMW Rear Mud Flap

If you are running a bigger tire than "OEM", be careful that INSIDE doesn't rub on the tire. You won't like that!! Jean, you made a good argument for mounting it on the outside. Also, road side tire repairs, I think, would be easier by unscrewing two screws on one side to clear for tire r...

The flap that I purchased on flea bay appears to be an OEM and is contoured for the outside just like yours. Since I have to drill holes into a very nice painted fender wit...
