Well i suppose a little feller could miss it... if he were searching for Herb's list in the Workshop--especially since it's not Herb's, it's Bert's, and it's up in the Wrenching section, not the Workshop...but other than that you've been extremely accurate and helpful.

And so as to not waste time for anyone else on a wild goose chase, here is the link to the service bulletins sticky megathread in the Wrenching section
BMW Factory Service Bulletins

and this is the direct link to Bert's site Bert Vogel's Service Bulletin Collection

No need to thank me, Kennybobby. I understand your tentacles and cap can get in the way sometimes.

it is not the "sale" it is the accident it may have been in.  Why would a "sale" affect a carfax?

mot the hoople.  just run a carfax on the vin.  what is so hard to understand?

I'm asking if a motorcycle repair/sale/eetc would show up on a Carfax. You can't trick us spelling it backwards, I got a secret decoder ring.

google carfax. it varies from state to state.  I am amazed that this bike has not been checked, sooo simple.  I use it on Porsche cars.  I want to know if an insurance company has ever totaled the vehicle, or repaired it.

That's what I got, too, Ed! I'm stripping off all the plastic for conversion to a Hamilton Beach and will be starting a Projects thread.

Laitch strip it down and make it a chopper. But you will then have to wear a bandana and vest preferably without tassels, don't want them caught up in the blades. :hehehe

Ok folks this has happened to my bike. My bike had been wrecked and the frame/triple tree was bent. I had to push quite a bit on the right handlebar to keep her straight. I replace the frame and all of the triple tree and I now have a bike that tracks straight and true. Hope this helps.

Mine pulls , but I've been to the great north [CT] without the brick and don't remember which way it pulls, I think I need to get my ass way out to the left when my hands are off the bars when  I'm shaving and putting on my makeup though ,so I'm thinking it pulls right. Will verify
later today.

Yes, mine pulls right, not too noticeable until both hands are off the bars. I have to get my weight to the left to go straight.
