Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle. September 16, 2007. Bags make it complete. 8212; Penforhire @ 2:20 pm. Hmm, large juicy bug? Nope, when I pull over later —. Now that I’m thinking of travelling further on this machine I’m glad my bags arrived. These are semi-replicas of the old Krauser bags, produced today by Hepco and Becker. It screws in place of the stock set-screw and provides a toggled friction lock, very similar to the Vista Cruise, NEP lock, and similar friction-based cruise controls. There ...

The journey is everything | Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle

Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle. October 11, 2008. The journey is everything. 8212; Penforhire @ 3:50 pm. The change to Mikuni carbs made this bike reliable enough for me not to fear long distance travel on it. Idle still varies cold-to-hot but I think that’s the nature of simple carbs. It has NEVER failed to start since the change, though I did pull the plugs to clean and gap them once (color was a nice tan, no soot) and I’m probably due to check valve clearances again. I sold my FJR1300 a while b...

Schneider is no longer doing business | Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle
https://penforhire.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/schneider-is-no-longer-doing-business
Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle. January 17, 2009. Schneider is no longer doing business. 8212; Penforhire @ 6:51 am. The Sidestand Fixer was a conversion to stop the auto-retracting sidestand on later BMW models. My /5 does not auto-retract. I imagine someone installed it, forgot to kick up the stand, and crashed in a left hand turn. I am outraged that he could sue because the function and risks are obvious! Yes, this device bypasses a manufacturer safety feature. Buyer beware. Grrrr…. They are su...

Error! | Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle
https://penforhire.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/error
Restoring a 1973 BMW R75/5 Motorcycle. September 3, 2007. 8212; Penforhire @ 11:51 am. Joe is good. One look at the fork seal photos in my last post and he calls me up, “um, you know those seals are in backwards? I whip out my Clymers repair and I can’t tell the orientation. Surprisingly, the thin Haynes repair manual is explicit is stating the spring-side goes in first. Could have something to do with that fold-over failure, eh? 1 Comment ». 8212; August 5, 2011 @ 6:39 am. Feed for comments on this post.
