Hi R90s Gang et al
I just got back from following the Motorcycle Cannonball from Canada border to the Mexico border.? I followed for about 10 of the 17 days.? The first 3 on my 75 R90S then home (1400 miles).? The last 7 on my 1990 K1 with Unigo trailer and home (3500 miles).?
All was fun with no problems.? ?It was a bummer that we only had one BMW in the Cannonball this year and Joe Gimpel was doing great, until a leg/knee issue forced him to stop riding in Arkansas.
Now I have the itch to participate in the 2022 Cross Country Chase which requires a pre-60 bike.? Of course I want to do it on a Beemer and my preference is to find a 1953 (my birth year).? I used to own a 1953 R51, but that was about 35 years ago.
Would appreciate any help with my search. The bike doesn't need to be a beautiful restoration, but rather very good mechanical condition to complete the 2500 mile ride. Can be with or without sidecar.
Thanks
Bob Alexander

Re: 1974 R60/6 colors and pinstripe colors
Everyone,
I'm restoring a 1974 R60/6. Its color is reddish-brown. Can anyone tell me what the proper pinstripe color is? I've seen pictures of this color paint some with black pinstripes and some with black pinstripes.?

If anyone on this thread has a source for sleeving of the M/C (other than Apple Hydraulics) could you please let us know? My local Massachusetts source is NLA.? ? ? Thanks? ?Ride well. Be safe.

Re: Master cylinder repair
Thanks to this list, I learned about Apple Hydraulics.? A week ago, I sent a a clutch slave cylinder for a rare car to them.? So far, their communication has been excellent, and the quoted price is very fair.? They said that it will be 7-10 days in their shop.

My master cylinder has some pitting and I need to have it sleeved. Wanted to ask the group about where to send it. I saw Apple hydraulics, is that a good place to use or are there others? I'm in Washington state, Thanks, Jim?

?hi folks, has anybody here ordered spiegler brake lines for the 90s?? their standard setup for r90s is set up with a 510 fitting and a 710 fitting. when i looked at the custom kit, it seemed that the 511 male fitting was a little longer and that the 711 fitting had a groove for the grommet at the caliper side. any advice would be very helpful. thanks, neil
