thanks Rob, that's a good site. D.V.

thanks a lot Bamboo812! Dick V.

I took my diode board out and forgot which way the wiring goes back together. On the back side there is a cluster of 3 wires, green, red and black. Those I know can only go on one way on the board.

Where is the best place to look for rear shocks for an R100RT 1981? I need shocks that will carry a passenger plus gear.
I live in B.C. Canada. I am also looking for rear shocks for a 1971 Norton Commando. Thanks, Dick Vandevelde

I talked to a BMW manager and he said the motor has too much carbon; does not make total sense since it pi...
