Enduralast 4 on '83 R80g/s
Dear all, I am on the process of installing an EDL4. However, I have no idea where to install the huge RR ! Enduralast says on the bracket - which I do not have or on the left side under the cover (but I ride without the cover, which doesn’t look great)—or behind the battery, but it would be a lot of work to attach it there.
So I think I’ll have to make a mounting bracket myself. Unfortunately, I don’t have any metalworking tools. Mounting it to the frame… best it without welding… but how? Does anyone make 3D-printed clamps or brackets for the tube that I could use to mount a frame to?
I need something like:

Liste fabricants vetements de moto ancien
Bonjour à toutes et à tous.
Je suis motard depuis 2002 et je possède depuis 2017 une magnifique bMW r60/2 de 1966 qui vient de fêter ses 60 ans en juillet.
Elle roule parfaitement et son esthétique est tres bien conservé.
Là n'est pas la question.
Ma question est la suivante :
Pour coller avec l'esthétique de ma moto je suis à la recherche d'un fabricant de tenue de moto en cuir ayant un aspect vintage. Je souhaite une salopette avec pourquoi pas un aspect culotte d'équitation des années 30, et une veste en gros cuir bien épais qui ferait années 40/50.
J'ai trouvé sur le site de noble house une reproduction de veste de sousmarinier qui pourrait faire l'affaire s ils font ma taille.
Ah oui je ne vous avais pas parlé de ma taille... Je mesure 1,96m pour 130/140 kg (ca depend des mois) donc exit les tailles standards...
Donc si vous avez des adresses de fabricants de vestes et de salopettes de moto en cuir pouvant faire vintage et surtout fabriquant des grandes tailles, ça m'intéresse.
Dernière précision j'habite en France et je roule toute l'année dessus.
Merci !
Bonne route à toutes et à tous !
Bmistement !

Took a little ride out to a lake near me.
Always a joy taking these old bikes off the beaten path, even on pretty loose dirt and some single track did fantastic. The long travel of the airheads suspension takes it a lot further than people would think. Pair that with the custom setup wilbers rear shock the ride is fantastic.

Finished the engine of the R100Rs front brake last issue
Hi guys, i fisnihed restoring my R100RS from 1989, last issue is the front brake, magura 13mm with horizontal banjo bolt connection. It was completely seized in the bore. I cleaned it, it makes pressure but still leaks at the hand lever. Before i ditch it and get a new cylinder i wanted to try thie 13mm replica piston. It seems this Magura piston also has been used in 50cc scooters and mopeds:
this looks like the one i disassembled just different metal. Does this fit?
Br and thanks

Thoughts on the R60/6?
While there are a plethora of R75-100s available on any given Sunday around marketplace I find myself drawn to the smaller displacement of the 60. What are your thoughts? I’m not a large person. I weigh 160 (72kg). My favorite bike historically has been a Yamaha XS650. I typically ride around town or on state highways where the average speed limit is 55 mph.
Should I hold out for my dream stock R60/6 in black or bump up to the R75/6?

On which side does the spacer go?
I took my front wheel off to replace the tire. Now I’m having difficulty getting it back on. Can someone tell me which side the spacer is supposed to go (I forgot to take a picture before I took of the wheel 😔). Microfiche no help.
