GP Motorcycles in San Diego, CA has an R4 for sale. I've never seen the bike in person, but it is listed on their web-site. http://www.gpmotorcycles.com ...
I bought a couple of R27 hubs on Ebay awhile back to build up a set of steel rim wheels for sidecar use. Unfortunately, while replacing the bearings this...
Jean-Daniel, I've seen this happen on other BMW hubs. The bearing either has an obstruction or rust inhibits the bearing function, and the outer race begins to...
Steve, how "spun" is it? Is the race very loose in the hub? I've heard of people using a Loctite product to fix this, but I believe it is only for a very...
The race could be rotated freely by hand. I considered a Loctite or JB-Weld fix, but hubs aren't incredibly expensive, and if I'm going to the trouble of...
Saw this happen several times on /5 models. We'd usually machine the hub to accept a shrink-fit steel sleeve, then machine the sleeve. If the wheel was still...
I just got an R27 catalog from S.Meyer. A new hub is available for about 50 Euro($67 US) and a used one is about 30 Euro. Of course, you have to get them...
I have been ordering extensively from S. Meyer. The shipping is not as bad as you might think. I suspect the hub alone would cost $35 to get here (DHL 18...
Question; My R27 Cylinder head bottom surface has a smile/curve routed with the oil-way holes at each end. The gasket I'm replacing has a smile/curve hole cut...

goodmorning all, as you perhaps know I am the author of cd-player; a tool to set up your allignement between crank and camshaft. (can be found in the file...
all, after contacting our regional tech specialist I perhaps have an explanation for the valve timing issue. The specifications from BMW for timing moments are...
I wouldn't say it was a bargain at $6.5k, but the bike is worth as much as somebody is willing to pay! ... __________________________________________________ ...
... To say that a bike is worth as much as someone is willing to pay is very perceptive. Many people would have no interest in this bike and not be willing to...
Hi all, Just to say I discussed qith a friend who is involved in BMW bikes restoration. He has got a very nice (like out of the box) R 25/3. He told me he...
Hello All, I tend to agree with Allan and Jean-Daniel. First, in my mind, I have to overcome 'sticker shock', when I saw a $6,500 price tag on an R26. I still...
I'm sure the bike is worth way more than 6500 in parts and time. After having only partially restored my R25/3 I have spent close to 4000. It would take double...
Hi all, Maybe I have got an explanation for the better shape of the twins. Quite right, Richard, the singles are often in a very poor shape when we discover...
I agree completely. Especially I you've been in a type of bike for a while (got my first single 15 years ago). I can get so mad about hybrid restoration...
Greetings all, Most people take a step back when i tell them how much I've spent on my r25/3 restoration. I've spent about 4000Euros in the last 7 years and...
