Airhead Flea Market Thread (closed and archived)

Harbor Freight sells an adjustable one for cheap: http://www.harborfreight.com/adjustable-pin-wrench-36554.html

I don't think this should be taken as a bad mark on IBMWR but for the seller.

As the title, I'm on the hunt for a yellow glass headlight lense (preferably Bosch) for my R75/5 cafe build.

Reasonable price paid or trade for??

Anyone have one kickin' around?

Thanks for looking...

As the title says, I'm looking for the screw that holds the large plug onto the back of the instrument cluster for a 1982 R100.

If you have a spare, old one lying around, or know a good match I am interested.

T.I.A. mike

A long time ago, I worked at a place in Baltimore that imported BMW car parts, mostly for old 2002s and coupes. I found on the microfiche that in France, they used a yellow bulb in their headlight, which happened to be the same style as is in a /5, so I ordered one. It was cool looking, and I really liked the light it made. Talking about it makes me want another one. The company that I worked for was called Maximillian Importing Co. I'm sure they can get it still.

Thanks for the info....would probably work great...but I think Id still prefer the yellow lens...for the overall look.

Ash...

Are you going to France? You could probably find one there.
My recollection is that France is no longer requiring yellow lenses on cars or bikes. I was there in November, and the bikes I saw had white lenses.

No...not going to France..
But am heading to the ACE in London...just before heading over to the Isle of Man
Maybe Ill find one there....

Wow! Lucky duck! Check at a British car shop or VW If you have one nearby. Our local MG shop had some. 7".

Heh, I'm doing the exact same thing for the TT this year.

Should be awesome!
Goin with a buddy who has been before...says its a blast...
Lookin forward to the ACE too...should be some great stuff/people to see/meet....
Stayin in a tiny room in London...and I think a nicer place on the Isle...
Have you been before?

EDIT: Exhausts are spoken for.

Well used, but useable. Has some rust and pits, but no dents. I'll ship it CONUS however you want, if you pay for actual shipping. Pipes break down into 3 pieces.US Postal will probably be cheapest. It came off my 75/7, since I went back to stock. (I could use two pipe hangers from the foot pegs for stock pipes, if someone doesn't need theirs.)



EDIT: Exhausts are spoken for.

I have a '77 R75/7 that has had stock dual exhausts put back on. It's complete except for the left and right hangers for the exhaust pipes (not mufflers) that attach at the foot rests.

I know I can get new ones from MAX, but I'd like to find some used ones to match the rest of the system, and save me some expense.

Thanks.

It is in the Flea Market:

Dibs, if it applies here, for the exhaust. PM sent.

I think I have some exhaust hangers. If you do, their all yours. I'll check tonight.

I'll try to send them tomorrow.

You ought to get the ones that the new owner of your two into one won't need any more, just saying.

Good thought. I imagine he would have offered if he had some to trade. Maybe he is doing a scratch build with no parts to swap. No biggie.... I like to help out when I can.

I'm sending the two I have. Both will work and the one should look good. Plus I like to send Baldy a little something too.
