Andy,
R-80 is one of the best Beemers built. I think the 80 engine is the
smoothest, and that's saying a lot. I'm not sure about the throttle, the
BMW used a chain and gear thing inside the throttle. The calipers on a
BMW depend on the year, you are probably bre-Brembo. R90S BMWs came with
a dellorto, but the Bings on the Beemer are good carbs and very
rebuildable. If you have the bike, I have some parts, have to dig
around. Also have some good dealers names, etc. let me know.

| hi! does anyone know if a tommasselli throttle assy. will work on a /7 bmw? are the brake calipers the same as any that guzzi uses? and lastly, do ya think dellorto carbs would work in place of the missing bings? nope- not heresy- i believe a few guzzi parts would improve the thing! ;>) [cheaper, too!] neat bike ['81 r-80rt], but someone left it outside for a loooong time, and pirated parts, too. thanks, andy |
