Re: Final Drive Vent Cap
I have one of these, mine got knocked off too. http://www.rockypointcycle.com/p-bmw2_stainless_final_drive_rear_wheel-9312.html A little heat and you can remove the vent from the bevel drive, drill and tap it, done. Or just buy this for a buck more, which I would have done if it was available at the...

Re: Odd spring in bottom of 77 Type 1 fork
After re-assembling the fork with the stock bumpers and washers replaced, I inserted the axle to check on the alignment. It doesn't line up without applying a decent amount of force to the left lower vertically. I could be nuts, but I'd swear that the left fork side looks to be longer from the botto...

Re: Odd spring in bottom of 77 Type 1 fork
I think I'm going to ditch the springs and order new bumpers and washers. With the Progressive Suspension springs on top it is just way too stiff to ride around here with our lousy roads. BMW HD springs might be the next step.

Re: Odd spring in bottom of 77 Type 1 fork
Thanks, I had no idea. I googled "anti-bottoming springs bmw" and found a reference to Luftmeister selling them.

Re: Odd spring in bottom of 77 Type 1 fork
Hmm, I took a look at Snowbum's site and I see a spring here that looks like the one I have. http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/ForkTool.jpg That looks like a later bike than mine though as it has electronic ignition

Odd spring in bottom of 77 Type 1 fork
I took the bottom threaded cap off my right fork after draining the oil, something didn't seem right. I found this, anyone seen a spring added to the BOTTOM of a fork? The gunk in the bottom cap has a lot of silicone sealant in it, someone had added it to the threads. The spring is smaller in diamet...

Re: 77 to 78 shift linkage conversion
Are there pics somewhere of Motorhead's bike?
Yeah, I can't speak for the toe/carb interference as I have Bings and Size 9.5s, but I'm a goofy-footed surfer and it disturbs me a wee bit to have my left foot forward. Looking to do what Motorhead did this winter on my bike.[/quote]
