Great! Like me riding with a safety vest on - they'll either make you stand out more or make you an easier target to hit.

In-line ignition tester on a '84 RS
I'm resurrecting my '84 RS after several years of indoor storage. Tank is cleaned; carbs are rebuilt. In a few days I'll attempt a start-up. As a matter of following this forum for many years, with this year and it's electronic ignition, I've read NOT to turn over the engine without the plugs and pl...

New petcock pipe length?

Ron Moss passed
Was just now thinking about long-time Boxerworks forum poster Ron Moss and was going to try to contact him. Very sad to say his obit came up on a search. Ron was a good guy. He and his wife Teresa came to many of Ken's Boxerworks Forum Rallies in Oklahoma. Farwell, Ron old buddy. https://www.gormans...

Re: El Cheapo CV40 carb kits
I just ordered the 4x2 O-rings from Bob's BMW for $27. Freight for 8 tiny little O-rings, Fedex....$18. Sick. Just put the damn order in an envelope and throw a stamp on it.

Stromberg may be okay but I would recommend staying away from anything from China. I purchased a set for my R100 on ebay. The diaphram was noticeably thinner while the o-rings seemed okay. I decided not to use it. I was given a refund minus shipping and told to throw the kit out. Kevin I just opene...

Re: El Cheapo CV40 carb kits
Long-time posters here may remember there's a few threads on the much much lower priced Stromberg carb diaphragms that work on our Bing 32 and 40mm carbs. I've used them over the years. They're thicker than OEM. Some may think the throttle response is not as brisk as original. They worked well for m...
