Air cooled twin cylinder motorcycles are my passion. Enough parts and bikes to last untill I'm gone.. Water cooled boxer is great but make it bigger, 1400, 1600cc's. No excuse for cubic inches I say. Alas I won't be able to afford one if and when they do one.

I'm on my second set of Road Attacks. I just wish I could get a few more miles out of them. My buddy has BT-023's on hit RT and love them. Might try them next, Bridgestones that is...

I'm going to plus one for an autolite. been running them in my Harley for years good plug available in lots of heat ranges as well....

My local graphics guy can do that.. I took him a picture when he did my graphic on my telelever " spelling" front end. He said he would do any thing but a roundel wich gets him in trouble with the mother ship! That is the best looking R12 around and I could not bring my self to copy it. I ...

My haynes does not tell me how to Adjust rocker end play, or I'm not seeing it. What is the procedure???? I hear the noise occasionally and after riding a ten year old Harley with a gaggle of miles I'm used to engine noise. Did I mention my roadster eats Harleys

Please post pics of these installs!! I'm drooling and prepping for a trip to the Tetons in a couple weeks... going to ride to Spearfish first during the stupid rally to stay with friends. Would really like to have my RD on board...

I guess I learned something! my 09 does it sometimes

NOT FUNNY AT ALL. Bad kharma dude.....

I love harbor freight!!!!

6K maintenance done. weather is crappy but I put a few miles on anyway:). I had to go to the local dealer and get the codes read and service reminder cleared. It took em alot longer than they said but it's worth it. This mistress runs really hard!!! As far as the Zen part I did talk to a couple real...

It's just a rubber vacum cap. Any auto parts store will have a variety of them on hand and very cheap..

I recently purchased a spark plug cap and a 22mm front axle tool. This stuff is top shelf and he shipped it really fast. Very happy with his stuff

I'm waiting on a darn center stand?? The stand came in, the springs came in, no hardware???? I'm torn between a different seat or an AKRA muffler this month. Stop the farkle madness, AAAARRRRRR 12 = $$$$ of fun
This thread is a bad inffuence but I like it

Thanks guys. I'm going over kill, I cahnge the Harley tranny every 5K, so I'm changing the Beemer every 6k. Differential and tranny are both going to get done this week as soon as the new centerstand comes in.

I'm using a sheep skin over the stock seat right now!!! I plan on having a local guy put a gel insert with 1/4" of foam over it for an air gap between me and the gel. If that does not work I'm going for a Sargent or Corbin!!!!

Been searching, still confused. I need to change diff and tranny next week. From what I've read any thing goes, my question is the differential oil the same as the transmission? I'm going to go with a high end synthetic just not sure, Redline Royal purple, Mobil one???? 75W-90 or 75W 140??? Sorry to...

Pretty spoked rims = tubed tires i always thought?????

I have 5686 miles on my 09 R 12. Starting up for the 20 mile jaunt to work and I notice a brief thing on the display that says 600 miles service??? I have all the fluids purchased and a very qualified BMW mechanic to assist me with the 6000 miles service. Fluids, valve adjustment, every thing listed...

I just got my haynes manual in the mail! best money I've spent for a while, very happy. Get one I say....

My 09 has consistently hit 135 with some left in it!!! Not sure what RPM cause I'm looking down the road. Whole lot of HP, very little wieght I guess? makes me smile.
