okay i think i got it...

the angulated "tongue" doesn't wrap around the bracket, but sort of pushes the bracket into the hooks, giving the mechanism a very tight fit... gosh, sometimes german technology confuses me...

thanks mixr & sunbeemer. you've been great help!

are you guys saying that the latch mechanism, or angulated "tongue", that juts out from the case as you fold the handle, will wrap around the bracket, instead of into a slot or opening on the underside of the bracket, as long as the case is seated properly?

oh and. sure there are bike shops here, but mainly for underbones and small displacement numbers. i've asked around in these places and all i get are perplexed stares ("what do want to balance your wheels for?!?).

thanks, dj, for replying. i'm planning to have the tire mounted in one of those auto tire shops with pneumatic machines. their mechanics claim they can do it, but i'll have to have my eyes glued to their work!... It's the balancing that's presenting as a problem. i was told that there's some sort of...

Balancing Act part 2

Hello fellas. My apologies to renagade for borrowing his thread's title... My RR's front tire is due for a change after about 12k plus kms. I've purchased a Metz Roadtec Z6 for the purpose. My concern is that there is no facility in my area for balancing cast motorcycle wheels. Some people I've talk...

I owe you one, Nachtritter (knight of the night, is it?).

I think your translation was right on target. Now the pictures make sense.

I'll update you once (IF!) I install the crash guard.

Everybody has been of great help. Thank you all!

Guten Tag Herr Nachtritter (that's all the German I know). I guess I have to give you some work here. There's just no response from Wunderlich... I had to re-type the instructions 'coz I have no access to a scanner. So umlauts may be missing and some spelling may be awry. Good luck and many thanks i...

Thanks a lot, all! I think i have enough sites to check out. But i do have a funny feeling that a product no. not only differs from continent to continent, but from dealer to dealer within a continent, as well. I'll just have to find out... Hallo, Nachtritter. If Wunderlich does not respond thru the...
