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 !

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.

Ah, but did you know that Honda also made toaster tanks ...

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!
