Lew is right. The price you pay to buy a new or decent used set and to have them polished might be more than what you can find for a set already polished...
I use my 72 750/5 a lot on forest sevice roads in Idaho. I would like to be geared a little lower and I noticed in my parts book that the ratios for the...
I don't recommend putting rear-sets on a street bike, but for those who are so inclined, I came across the following web-site that offers rear- sets to fit BMW...
They will bolt right up but for accurate odometer/speedo readings you need to change the speedo head. Even the later drum brake rear units (dual shock) will...
I have two four speed gearboxes. One was damaged when a shifting fork came loose and damaged some teeth on the counter shaft gears, the other I bought from a...
Anyone who may have ugly but not leaking valve covers taking up space in the garage could donate them to me, for my racing effort. I'd happily pay postage, as...
I have an R90 engine I'm tearing down to keep the top end for the nearing date of rebuild on my /5. Problem is, the right piston is stuck good. I got the whole...
... Save everything. You never know what you might need. Maybe a charging system update? As far as the stuck piston, there are lots of options. You could...
For starters, wailing on it is most unlikely to work. For this situation, there are probably as many opinions as there are list members. It's a tad regrettable...

Back in the day, and I mean really far back, there was a thread about diaphragms from some kind of European car that could substitute for the OEM diaphragms in...
It has finally turned nice in New England, and I have put the /5 on the road for my work commute to save on gas. I seem to get carpal tunnel like symptoms...
Same thing happens to me on my right hand only. I have the "S" bars and I'm assuming that leaning into the bars is what is causing too much pressure on the...
A throttle rocker will help as well as a lighter grip on the bars. Your weight should be supported by gripping the tank with your knees & using your stomach...
I had a similar problem on my Norton Commando and (for that and other reasons) a few years later I changed to a single carb rather than the twin carbs....
Don't hold me to this, but... the carbs Derek refered to may be Zenith- Stromberg 175CDs. They and their variant cousins were very common on 60s and 70s...

Someone does make those /5 repro side covers, but they are made in stainless steel instead of chrome. You might even be able to locate some original chrome...
I think I missed the beginning of this thread, but if I am correct reading between the lines it is about TCS and the difficulty of operating the clutch. If it...
