Zitat von Allan Redfox im Beitrag #16 What make of paint is that Allan and does it have to be baked or is that just your preference to finish it off? |

Zitat von Duds im Beitrag #19Zitat von Allan Redfox im Beitrag #16 For the best "effect" from the wrincles and a stronger hardened paint it is best to bake it. That's also written on the can. You can do without but wrincles less and paint scratches more easy...oil resistant don't know if it's less.

My first BMW was a '60 R60. It took me all over the Southwest United States back in the nineties. It never let me down, but demanded frequent routine maintenance (like all of the bikes of that era). I miss that old lump...

Because of my pushrod seal rubber are totally dried out, decided to pull the heads and cilinders from the engine and give them the same treatment as the rear wheel, things looking good inside no extraordinary wear...

Since you brought the subject up, attached are three photos of my daughter's 1981 R65LS after the top end was dissembled at 120,000 km 4 years ago to fix an oiling problem on the left cylinder. That time the problem was oil not getting to the rockers. Then this year the right cylinder was worked on to repair a problem with too much oil leaking past the push rod seals. (No photos of that work.) And so it goes with elderly BMWs.

Zitat von Allan Redfox im Beitrag #27 They are tiger ears and they come with a tail, too. She still wears the helmet with the ears and tail when attending BMW rallies.
