I rather enjoy this sort of discussion. There is always the chance that I will learn something I didn't know before, so I would like to thank the main protagonists for the (to me) astonishing amount of work that must go into presenting these arguments. In my reality Ken is well ahead in terms of co...

Just did some carb. tweaking and putting new fuel lines on my '86 Naked R80. Started her up and did a quick warm-up at idle. Just for the heck of it - checked oil temp. and was at 80 degrees C. which is approx. 176 degrees F. What is the normal RUNNING temp. for an airhead? I did a search and didn't...

Hi Duane, I agree with you; can't find a "good" one here in Central Florida though.

As mentioned in this thread I appear to be flawed in my analysis. My bags are the BMW touring bags. I found and bought a Key #055 and it did not fit. Crossed checked with Snowbum's site and cross-referenced the 055 key and may have found the proper key via Max BMW. Wow, and a whole lot cheaper than ...

Hi Steve, I don't know all the particulars on the key #'s. Wish you had the 055 though.
