Re: Who sells piston rings?
Haha, Motobins also only has one set! I'll give it a few days and see if anyone restocks

Who sells piston rings?
Looking to order new rings for my stock bore '75 R90/6.

Re: Introduction and a few gasket kit questions
Thanks Rob. Excellent, very useful advice on the "year of the bike". I like what you said about the "must have upgrades". I must admit I did fall for that a bit with the electronic ignition. I do think the charging system upgrade was valid though. I never tested it since I haven'...

Re: Introduction and a few gasket kit questions
