Need R80 G/S - ST top yoke parts!

Post by ToasterTan »

I need these top yoke parts for an R80G/S or ST. They can be bent, because will not be mounted on a bike. I'm designing new ToasterTan parts for these bikes and need the stock one for a fitment template.

Stock fork top plate
Nacelle brackets
Signal bracket/stem

PLEASE ! :D

1972 is the only year a small tank with a chrome panel came stock with the BMW /5 model. The tank reminded people of a 'Toaster', so it got the nickname. I have an all original '72 R75/5 Toaster, hence the handle and name of my little micro-biz. I can't see where I can upload a photo or I'd show you.

TT, that is so wrong.

By the way, you may have more luck posting your request in ADV > Bikes > Old's Cool > Airheads. More inmates and it's a faster moving forum. More TT users there as well. And perhaps the offer of a free TT top brace would create more interest.

Yeah - that Suzuki tank is weird looking in that it appears to be backward! They made the narrow end the front. I thought about using it on some goofy Café build, but still not sure what to do with it. I suspect it will sit in the attic for a while....

Had a guy contact me with an ST top plate so all set with that. I can redesign the TT G/S brace and stay in the envelope. The new design will fit both G/S and ST. The challenge is the signals, which are in different places.

Thanks!
