Hi BMBob, Those are the pipes that came on the bike when I bought it, I don't have any others. Regarding the paint - I'm afraid I couldn't say either way. It is in excellent condition, bar a small chip at the rear of tank, and a small stone chip on the front. The pin-striping is painted on...

Time to sell my much loved 1980 BMW R100RS Bike it is excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically - the pics speak for themselves. Recently had brand new (genuine BMW) clutch fitted, service and tune up with BMW expert in Knysna. The bike has just shy of 98k kms on it. I have...

Sold.

The old style Optimate plugs are known as Tamiya plugs and were a standard on RC batteries. Should be readily available to hobby shops.

Could you please port a pic of the panniers and rails - I'm quite keen. Thanks.

I've just gone through the whole starter motor thing (Bosch on a 1980 RS). Mine just totally stopped working quite suddenly. I took it out, and found a huge voltage drop across solenoid while testing. I ordered a new solenoid and brush set from EME...

Thanks for all the responses. Santam confirmed that there would be no issue had I insured the bike when it was (much) newer. It's only the fact that I want to do it now that they need the assessment. I will take the bike to Donford. I must admit, I'm mostly worried about 3rd party. I'd be...

Thanks Operator. It's 1979. I fully understand their point, I just wanted to be sure I was getting the right info for them. They initially suggested Dekra, but my broker refused on account of the cost. I will try get a report from BMW.

Hi Dogs, Wondering if anyone has had experience with insuring an older airhead via Santam. I recently added my RS, and now Santam is asking (via my broker) for some form of proof that the bike is in good condition (in addition to the roadworthy  certificate). Santam is being pretty vague about...

Thank you for the responses – I wasn’t expecting so many! For what it’s worth, I have filled in the Arrive Alive bad driving report. My reasoning behind that is I would like some sort of record for the day that someone innocent has a collision with him. Might contribute towards building a...

That's him.

Hi, I'm not sure how this post will be received. Wednesday evening I was heading out of Cape Town on the N1 around 10PM, and overtaking a truck. I guess I was doing just over 120km/h. At that moment, a gentleman on a 800GS came up between myself and the truck doing massive overspeed, 140+...

You have PM. Interested in the XR.

Jut wondering if this upgrade would work on R100RS with bar mounted master cylinder as standard. Really struggling to get my brakes up to scratch...

Hi Bill, Do you perhaps have the contact you used to source the Big Boy wheels? I'm looking for a few for a project and this looks like an affordable solution. I'm in Cape Town, so would be grand if I could find something locally. Thanks.

Hi Bailey, They look very nice. Just wondering, do they need pannier frames on the bike to fit? Also, where in Western Cape are you? Thanks.
