Dave-
thanks! the bike is my cousin's [he just bought it, somewhere, and dig
this- it shows 3200mi. on the clock!] it needs carbs [missing] exhaust
system [rotted pipes, missing muffs] front calipers [missing] and side
covers. from the teltale signs, i believe the mileage to be accurate.
any help will be gratefully accepted. thanks again,
andy

| 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. andy hill wrote:
