Dennis Grossman All Messages By This Member #51582 And how about the correct sized cables for these tubes?

Mac Kirkpatrick All Messages By This Member #51583 Moto Bins at least, used to have them. But they were unlined with nylon, as the originals were, from BMW.?

Kris And Scott All Messages By This Member #51586 I’ve forgotten the history of curved throttle tubes, but seem to remember they were problematic. Can the learned explain? Thanks Scott Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow.

Pat Brown All Messages By This Member #51588 My '75 S has the original curved DelOrto tubes on it. The bike had very low mileage when I got it, and I believe that the throttle cables were original factory.? I noticed that the plastic cable liner was longer by about 1.5" than the outer cable, allowing the liner to line the tube. I did have a cable break where it curves within the pipe while on a road trip and had to repair it MacGyver style it to get home. I wasn't able to find a BMW replacement cables to replace the broken one, however I had a set of BMW cables modified to match the length of my unbroken cable. Aside from weakening the cable due to the bend, I heard that a problem with the curved tubes is that the cable can cut through it after time. I lube the cable at the tube before rides to protect against it.? On Wednesday, April 27, 2022, 08:25:21 AM EDT, adriannurney <adriannurney@...> wrote: Mines been on since new, what problems?

Mac Kirkpatrick All Messages By This Member #51589 + What Pat said, the steel cable would cut through the throttle tube over time, at the bend, whereas a straight tube with a cable going straight through it would not cut the tube.

Kris And Scott All Messages By This Member #51592 Was the curved tube a function of what’s in the parts bin or model year? My 76 has straight tubes, but I’m not aware if these were original to the bike. Just curious. Scott Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow.
Mac Kirkpatrick All Messages By This Member #51593 Four out of five R90Ss I own have curved?throttle tubes. Details: I own a '74, '75 and two '76s, they all have curved throttle?tubes and what I know of them tells me they are original.? I also have an R90S I "restored" (it is beautiful but it has stainless parts everywhere and other parts added which suit my taste such as the chrome acorn nut on the right shock lower, holes in the fairing lower, calipers from a '76 and a smaller diameter brake master cylinder (for better braking), rear drive from an R75 with matching speedo (so it's quicker), custom bent mirror stalks but new mirrors, so they stay in place), new repro bags, and I am now trying to find a complete kicker assembly to add to it as I think the kickers are beautiful, etc.) But I digress :-) Back to curved throttle tubes: my resto has straight tubes and I know the Del's on it are from an R90S, just not sure of the year). TMI but it's interesting :-) Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C.
