Charlie-
thanks! i know little [read-nothing] about bmw's, but a friend said those
magura throttles sell for a cool $150.00, used! ouch! [my bud only paid
$369.00 for the whole bike, and i think he is now broke.] i do recall that
the r90-s had dellortto's, tho!

Hi Andy,
It's possible I guess to make any part fit, but the big question is will it
be worth all of the trouble? You could spend a few $ for the stock bits and
just bolt it up or spend nearly as much and still have to rewire, rejet,
etc. "Time is money." Just a thought. :-)
The /7 has switches built into the throttle housing if I remember correctly,
so you'll have to fit switches as well as a throttle. The Brembo calipers
look like they'll bolt up, but piston sizes and bleeder location will
require a bit of research to find a good match. Dellortos should work fine
once you sort out the jetting and how to fit them. Just off of the top of my
head, maybe 30s from a Cal II or something?
Here's a link to a site where you might be able to find the stock bits
fairly reasonable:http://www.ibmwr.org/market/Good luck!
Charlie
now BMW-less once again

| 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 |
