Re: 1977 RS Blue Pinstripe Wheels and Rims
I have a set of new take-off 77 complete blue pin stripe wheels and wondering about what they would be worth. They are like new.?
My friend Mark, who also has the Heinrich tank mentioned in a previous post also has 1977 RS blue pinstriped wheels and rims.?
He has a set of wheels (front and back) as well as a set of bare rims together with a separate rear drum.?
See the photos for clarification. Call Mark, near Pittsburgh, at 412-585-7092.?

Kirk,
Metal or Fiberglass? It appears to be metal and if so, it's worth much more. It also appears to be a genuine Heinrich and not a knock-off....a big plus.
This tank is designed primarily for a R80G/S. Make sure it fits your bike first and foremost!!
Not all models have the same clearance under the tank.?
If all is good....What's it worth?
Is the inside rust free? Are the threads for the petcocks clean & not crossed?
?Generally Heinrich tanks are still in high demand, this particular model, not as much, because it doesn't have the tool compartment, but it does have the advantage of being able to swing open your saddle without taking off your tank.
The laws of supply & demand and whatever the market will bear at the moment, still apply.
Right now, the market is soft. Since this one just so happens to be the color you are looking for, that is a big plus for you, because having to paint it, will not be cheap.?
I would put the range on this one between $1000-$1500 without seeing it close up in person. BUT....make sure it fits without any interference!!??
Note: Some Heinrich tanks have sold north of $2500 in the past. Also use the much larger BMW automotive style badges on these fuel tanks. They look much more appropriate.??
Look them up on line or at your local dealer's parts book.? I have a good part #, but don't have access at the moment. You want the largest badge available.??
The one you want will be cast aluminum, hollowed out on the underside, which you fill in with Bondo or JB Weld, sand to contour and then use a strong adhesive.? I've used different adhesives in the past even contact cement, but today's modern RTV Silicone adhesives such as Permatex 80050 clear would probably be a better choice.
You do NOT want to use the plastic stick on badges....well, not me anyway!
Good luck!
Just my 2 cents.
Regards, Todd

Re: Strengthening to Handle Your Motorcycle/Selling my R90S Silver Smoke
Great advise and recommendations Mac. ?A bit off subject are my questions for you.

Mac Kirkpatrick <image_50749441.JPG> Weight of motorcycle as one ages: The most important issue as regards being able to handle the weight of our motorcycles as we age is to strengthen ourselves. We lose strength, it¡¯s use it or lose it & one must take action to prevent loss of strength unlike when we were younger.?
There are many sources on YouTube which will tell you what to do for your specific circumstances. I¡¯ve had to really dig to find ways to strengthen my back as I have a bad back due to a compression, likely from a motorcycle accident.?
Look up ¡°Raul Martinez-An Introduction to Fitness¡± on YouTube.?
He tells how to do ¡°modified Super Mans¡± for instance to strengthen one¡¯s back w/o bending over & picking up weights, which I am incapable of doing.? And do squats, planks, push ups from your knees, etc.?
Or ¡°Bob & Brad¡±, physical therapists, who walk you thru what actions to take as we age.?
All w/o leaving your house, all using only your body weight.?
Then besides strengthening, find an exercise you like for aerobic benefit and to burn calories for weight control. Oddly, I think, for some reason I like riding a bicycle and take a Brompton folding bike in my car everywhere. It¡¯s very compact and light, I take it into restaurants, on planes & trains, etc.; do some research on Brompton, it¡¯s amazing. Full size bikes are a real hassle to carry anywhere, on the back of a car, etc.? I also like rowing, so have a boat + rowing machine. But I prefer my Brompton compact folding bicycle for sure.?
I¡¯m right now on a cross country (US) trip & have my Brompton in my Land Cruiser which is towing my Airstream Basecamp (think off-road), so AZ, WY, OR, etc.?

So figure out what works for you.? ?I also have found not eating after 8 PM and not eating again until lunch works well to keep weight off. No white anything as well. Research it, see Dr Jung for his fasting technique.?
Bottom line: one must be proactive as we get older or we limit ourselves.? Yes it takes action, but the benefits are huge.?
¡°Close your mouth and get off your butt¡±, sums it up.?

Best,
Mac Kirkpatrick Thank you, group. I'd love to keep riding mine well into my twilight years, but I just cannot manage the weight like I used to. I'm hoping to take about 50 pounds off it's weight and not alter it's look and feel too much. I'd be happy to pass it on to someone who would keep it going and enjoy it more than I can but if that doesn't happen, then it will have to be lighter.

Re: Strengthening to Handle Your Motorcycle/Selling my R90S Silver Smoke
Some great advice Mac! I'm 67 and subscribe to a similar regimen. I also found that yoga with Tim Senesi on YouTube is fantastic for core strengthening and does not take much time. Try it and see what you think!? Do you still have your camp in Grand Lake Stream? Steve in Maine?

A perfectly fine venue I would say.
BTW, nothing wrong with lightening the flywheel or upgrading the charging system. Those are common modifications or improvements and have no effect on the stock appearance of your bike.
Let's see what you have before you start getting too carried away on one of the classics.

I had advertised my 1976 R90S for sale in the local (Manitoba) sites and Facebook Marketplace with no bites. I had tried Bring a Trailer but they did not wish to do it with a reserve, so I declined. At this point I'm thinking about keeping and customizing mostly by reducing it's weight and modernizing it. I know some of you might find that unthinkable but I don't think I have much of a choice other than selling it for about $5,000 and buying an F800ST or F800R. Some of the mods I'm thinking about are lightened flywheel, replacing the charging system and battery. I would appreciate any suggestions from the group. Thanks.

Hi All,?
Anyone ever swap the original Karcoma style petcocks (straight down style with plastic nipple) to the more modern 45 degree angle all metal (BMW Karcoma) types? ?
MAX parts states it will work, but they¡¯re definitely different height tubes (originals are shorter height tall tube) and also use different copper screens, ?The newer ones are of course the full tube screen with built in crush washer, the older ones seem to have two tiny thimble like screens that sit loosely on each white gas intake tube. ?
