Everybody speaks about Metzler and I knew I have MetzElers on my bike (with an extra "e" after z). Made a search on google and found their german site. Check...
You can update to the current design as available from the dealer or to the Thunderchild board or Motorad Electrik but beware, these lead to other electrical...

I am getting ready to do up a page on horns. I have a lot of pictures of the various ones used on the /2, but little for the /5. As I remember, there are two...

Greetings Slashers. You may remember last month when I posed the question about swapping a /6 transmission in to my /5. Thank you for your responses. I haven't...
If it's just the subframe that's bent on the /6, replace the subframe and keep riding that bike. Subframes are cheap. That will give you time to rebuild your...
I want to paint (or whatever) the two into one on my /5 black. I'm open to any thoughts. I wanted to go with high temp powder coat but the local guy isn't...
Ceramic coating is what you want http://www.performancecoatings.com/ http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/techline/ also, paging Jim Shaw, you email address...
Steve - if your /5 is a LWB, why not just swap the whole driveline? The /6 rear end will be in better shape, and the /6 rear wheel has slightly thicker splines...
... I'm open to any thoughts. I wanted to go with high temp powder coat but the local guy isn't interested in trying it. ********************* I don't know...
Send the parts to Jet Hot & have them apply one of their black coatings. This stuff will never burn off & will look good for years unlike the heat paints. John...
On eBay I offered my wheel bearing shim kits for $8 instead of the usual $10. Not a big savings, but I mostly wanted to catch a market that I would never ever...
Hey Folks, I am doing some early planning for the Festival of Fives that will happen in 2006. Last year there was a Festival of Fives held in West Virginia,...

In October my clutch cable sheared its retaining terminal ;up inside the clutch lever. The metal small coupling bit that holds the cable fell out and...
I don't know of a FoF in particular but the BMW Riders' Association is having their rally in Boise on July 6-9. Here is a link to the site with details: ...
I had exactly the same problem, it is a flaw with the design of the clutch lever (on my lever at least). The cut-away for the cable was not deep enough to...
In general, premature breakage at the lever end is commonly due to lack of lubrication of the anchor/pivot and cable end. The anchor pivot should freely pivot...
... I know a lot of folks who won't go a day without having a spare clutch cable in case something happens. Of course, that may have more to do with the...
Hi Mike, I gather from your e-ddress that You're in UK. Any BMW dealer SHOULD have or be able to get the clutch cable. Why did yours break? Tough to diagnose...
Heads, Can I use the two part oil filter in my 73 R75/5? My dealer sent the kit and it has the two part filter. Additionally for my stock bike bought in Jan...
If the "small metal coupling bit" is not lubed (as in any decent moly grease) there is a possibility of the coupling not rotating easily when the clutch lever...
