Graphite with stainless exhaust. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Re: German or Russian W7DC
So is this a case where getting vaselined at the dealer is a better investment?

Re: Tires and wheels report
Recommend pressures and the return to OEM sized tires have made the bike feel more nimble. With the recent replacement of throttle cam and cables, and clutch cable, the bike is much more satisfying to ride. Thanx for all your input.

Re: Tires and wheels report
Well the tire manufacturers don't specify for individual bikes, instead deferring to the bike manufacturer.

Tires and wheels report
R100S 1984 Got the new tires on: After getting slowed down by a leak from the rear brake actuator cam shaft. I finally got it done. I went back to standard size tires. The oversized ones were a pain to get out as they were old and hard. Over and over again, I keep learning that OEM is best! I had sh...

Re: Brake System Overhaul Yes or No
I took my Brembo calipers apart and rebuilt them on my 1984 that I bought new. I changed the fluid regularly. as far as I could tell there was no reason to rebuild them. I tried to rebuild them with a aftermarket kit from Motobins that was touted as being better than OEM. KIt didn't fit so I got an ...

Brake reasembly
1984 R100S So I'm finally getting around to putting my Wheels back on. I really can't fathom where the time goes. I found that I had leaking from the brake actuating cam. I've replaced the four O rings. Does the installation of the shoes look correct in relation to the cam lobes? The spring by the c...
