Alright, so rode into work yesterday and about 2 minutes from work the clutch cable popped out of the lever, my fault. When I replaced the cable I had the cylindrical fastener but didnt think it would fit? (thats because I'm an idiot and too nervous when doing these things on my own for the first time :-S). Anyway 2 second fix, alls good and the way it should be.

Q# is the catch poibtt for the clutch a personal preference or is there a minimum lever release distance?

Anyway rode to my mates place, tightened the HS (headstem), rebled the brakes and adjusted the tps. Wow the tps makes a difference. The bike feels much better with th HS tightened properly ;-)

Loaded a few night time street shots after work was done.

Took an executive lunch and slapped a new BS Spitfire on the rear to match the front I put on earlier this spring. :yes

Less than an hour start to finish, and I spilled my airsoft bb's... :dunno

Edit: (I guess executives probably don't change their own tires...)

Isn't your fairing off of a R80 or a R65?

Yep, and I've also seen it on a R45, but I think that may have been Euro-only as I can't find it in any fiches. Google image search on those 3 will pull them up. But I don't know if it's factory or aftermarket. I believe I have seen one like it on E-bay in searching. Don't know that it's rare or anything, but maybe scarce is a better description... :dunno

It's factory. Part# 46 63 1 240 822 Covering Cockpit $228.08

Duncan's Beemers had a used one a while back. They were asking $174 greenbacks for it.

A small screw, usually a hex head that is uniform circumference and threads from top to bottom. Typically the end of the screw is used to hold something in place via direct pressure against it.

Something that can come loose inside the K-bike transmission........ :yow
Causing head scratching, frustration, and results in transmission removal and dis-assembly to correct.

Thanks rocket, that fills me with enthusiasm to publish my project...

You realise theres nothing on YouTube that show curious people like me and builders what a cheap mod like this can do. I've also got a spare exhaust that I picked up for $50 aus (£31.62) incase, but I love this mod and this may come in handy for someone on a budget, or a streetfighter etc...

Who cares about the money when my bike gives me such a smile. And if someones thinking of doing this I'll be slapping a video with better sound soon.

I know, Lenn, no offense, mate. Talk about cheap mod's,Dodge has 2 hash marks on the front quarter panels of the challengers......Well I cut 2 strips of electrical tape and fitted them too the door handles of my Ram truck!.....Now thats cheap!,lol.
I'm actuall gonna need some thing for my exhaust, it's showing it's age. I like the bogney cut exhaust, and the exhaust note is bettter than one might expect in your case. Good job. :2thumbup: :mbird

Just ordered a whole wack of bits, tranny seals and K1100rs fairing mounts so I can mod my K100rs to look like a dream machine :2thumbup:

branandfox · « **Reply #916 on:** June 07, 2013, 03:39:29 PM »

Just did the same TSBT. All I got left is the paintjob I am currently saving for. then the remus pipe! corbin seat has yet to be made though... Still waiting on them to produce!

sh00ter · « **Reply #917 on:** June 07, 2013, 08:34:25 PM »

Changed fork oil. Man that chit gets nasty. Balanced tb's. checked brake pads and rotors.

Scott_ · « **Reply #918 on:** June 09, 2013, 06:38:50 PM »

Well for the last week, the '95 is on the table for service.
Got all the oils changed, new tires mounted up, stripped down the front fairing assy to replace the steering head bearings.
I started by just cleaning them and see if that would help with "notchyness" but no dice. Still feel the notches with my fingernails so time to order bearing sets.
Have brake pads on order for both bikes and a rear rotor waiting for install on the '97.

Lenn0x84 · « **Reply #919 on:** June 13, 2013, 11:38:15 PM »

All Right!! :riding:

Did some little service bits and pieces, cleaned and re-greased brake and clutch levers... Sooooo smooth now :2thumbup:

Wanted to sync my tb's so I tried to build my own, but unfortunately will have to try again as it didn't turn out right, used 4mm tubing all the way but it looks like 4mm from vacum ports to 5mm tubing filled with oil would achieve a better result sooooo.

I decided to do it by ear :yow all the screws where 3-4 turns out!! What have they done to this thing? Screwed them all down and came out 1 1/2 turns, much snappier and I'll toy around with it a bit more tomorrow, I think I'll try 1-1/4 turns and have a play until I re-build my Synchronizing tool.

Anyway thought I'd say what I've been up...

After chasing white rabbits in my fuel system, I checked my HES this morning with a hairdryer and she died when it got hot and ran when I cooled it off. Now I need to find the damn part somewhere online, I'm not going to give BMW a pile of money for a whole new assembly. I guess no

this weekend, oh well.

Anyone have a good lead for the HES plate?

Lee Barker · « **Reply #921 on:** June 14, 2013, 05:41:31 PM »

This is pretty mickey duck but somebody had to do it: I added a pad to my kickstand and discovered a jazzy way to dress the end of the foot hook:

Its the butt end of a putter grip. Golf. I happened to have on in the "very odd" drawer. If I wanted another, I would go to a thrift store and buy a putter for a buck or two. Slit the grip within about 2 inches of the end and it will all come off. Trim it down, heat it in water if you need to, and slide it on.

The pad is a piece of 3/16 aluminum.

Both additions are functioning per plan. It has been good.

Kindly,

Lee

Scored a pair of engine guards off Fleabay for $165.
Gawd, if someone would replicate these relatively simple yet ever-rarer bars and brackets and sell them they'd make a tidy haul.

Now for the stripping, priming, painting, etc... :2thumbup:

Used a "Seal Mate" on my fork seals today. It seemed to work just fine. Simple too. Time will tell if it did the job or I have to tear into my forks. Keep your fingers crossed.

My seals just showed up but for $5 it's got my attention. Let us know how it worked.

Vid so others can see what this is.
