Parts help
Hello, I've been putting off restoring my grandfather's 1975 R90 6 and am finally gonna make the leap. Does anyone know reliable sources to get parts and/or shops on the east coast?

BMW Airhead Boxer Final Drive/Bevel Drive pinion lock tool
Hello fellow airheads
Usually these cost about £50 in the UK, but I was able to design and print in PETG. In my case it was able to handeling up to 200 Nm of torque.
This secures the final / bevel drive pinion gear, enabling torquing during removal or installation of the retaining nut on BMW motorcycle final / bevel drives. It is compatible with all post-1970 dual shock and Monolever configurations, excluding models equipped with Paralever suspension systems.
Should Fit:
- BMW /5 Series (69-70)
- BMW /6 (73-76)
- BMW R90S
- BMW /7 (76-84) - tested to 200Nm with PETG, 6 walls 25% infill.
- BMW R45/65 (78-84)
- BMW Monolever (85-96)
- BMW GS/ST (81-87)
Printed with PETG with 6 walls and 25% infill. Tested up to 200N on a 1977 R100/7.

Old BMW Bike
Hello everyone, could someone help me identify exactly what kind of motorcycle this is? It has been sitting in my grandfather's barn for a very, very long time. He doesn't say much about it, but I would be very interested to know. I’ve already done some research and came to the conclusion that it might be a BMW R25/3.

BMW r65gs gas problem
Was out riding the other day when my bike suddenly died. Saw the gas filter was all empty even though there was a bunch of gas in the tank. Thought it was a clogged petcock, so cleaned the petcock, hoses and filter, but when i put it together again the gas was still not running thorugh.
So it fill out the float bowl and then stops. Normally my gas sits in the hoses and fill up the gas filter, but now it just fills up the float bowl and cut of the gas.
What could the problem be?
Thanks

Free Gear Change Lever Sleeve 3D File
Hello fellow Airhead fans.
I am busy getting my bike ready to ride after sitting for too long. Family has taken priority over time and money over the last decade. One item on my list of "To Dos" is the Gear Change Lever Sleeve which has perished.
I decided to design and 3D print one. It is originally designed for a 1978 BMW R100/7, but should fit:
- R60/6 | R75/6 | R90/6 | R90S | 1973 - 1976
- R60/7 | R75/7 | R80/7 | R100/7/T | R100S | 1976 - 1980
- R80 | R80RT | 1977 Onwards
- R100 | R100RT | R100RS | R100CS | 1976 Onwards
- R45 | R65 | R65LS | R65RT | 1978 Onwards
- R80g/s | R80ST | 1981 - 1987
- R80GS & PD | R80R & Mystic | 1988 Onwards
- R100GS & PD | R100R & Mystic | 1988 Onwards
Printed in TPU with 6 wall loops and 25% infill. It was a struggle to put on because the TPU is tougher than the original rubber. But I used a bit of motor oil (TPU doesn't react with motor oil) and was able to get it on the lever.
