let me know asap as it's on ebay and I don't want to lose it.

You can use any 70-84 twin shock rear drive as long as it has the brake pivot hole in it. Not all 81-84 rear drives had it.

No, just for the early BMW bags that had the metal latches.

does anyone know the part number exchange, Valeo copy starters for R80G/S?

this appear to be an Asian made nine tooth permanent magnet starter that fits, BMW R series Airhead with 9-Tooth, Replaces Valeo D6RA7, D6RA15, 12 41 9 062 425

these are probably made for a popular Japanese auto with several applications. starter mfg generally will not make new starters unless there are lots of sales to justify tooling.

They were on some small Renault autos.

Caltric on Ebay had them for $90- when I bought mine 3 years ag0. FWIW it has worked perfectly.
He had them listed for the auto too, but at the same price.

I've got a vague recollection that the Valeo D6RA7 was also fitted to things like the Citroen AX and Peugeot 205's. Not Japanese I know, but it might throw up some other part numbers to search.

Also the name Nippondenso (?sp) comes up occasionally with reference to alternative starter motors for airheads, but I can't remember more than that.

HTH ...

Hi

Could anyone recommend an online store in the USA to source airhead parts from?

Tx

Bob's BMW in Jessup, MD.
Blue Moon Cycle in GA
Beemer Boneyard
Max BMW, several locations I believe

That should get you started

Google should give you the websites...

When the brass neutral switches first arrived I heard they were sourced from Ducatis. Has anyone gotten these from a Ducati dealer (or anywhere else) and what part number or application was it for?

I got one off a Peugeot 306. Requires swapping the nose (?) of the starter to the BMW type. See here: http://advrider.com/forums/showpost....7&postcount=47

Replacement for oem spark plug wires? Sandia bmw can suck it. Thanks.

Right now I have a set of pretty yellow Taylor automotive plug wires on my R80. I bought a repair/replacement set that IIRC had enough wire in it and enough crimpon terminals to cut to length and put the terminals on.

If you have any perfomance oriented parts shops or speed shops around you, you can probably get some really good wires made up to order.

And a regular on here, wirewrkr, may make up and sell them.
