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

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. Ted

Anyone know of a source for longer than normal throttle cables? Such as would fit on an R90S fitted with tall bars? Thanks, Mac-- Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C. Donahue

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

My bike came with a different bar than the R90S. The previous owner had installed a handlebar mounted master cylinder on a set of R100 bars on it from the early 1980's which were higher because of back problems. I am trying to find a R90s type bar that will work with the existing master cylinder mounted on the bars and not interfere with the R90s fairing. I know this is not original but anybody got a idea what might fit without interfering with the stock R90s 1/4 fairing?

Hi all, I am located in Queensland Australia and am looking for a R90S. I have recently missed out on a couple through no fault of my own, just bad luck !! If any of you have or know of one for sale could you please let me know. Cheers Steve

Hi All, I’ve replaced a few batteries on my R100RS (Mono) but never on my (semi new to me) 75 R90S. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good sealed brand to choose for the R90? Same size of course to fit in the tray. I’ve had decent experience with Odyssey and Westco. Thanks! Chris Perry

How long does it take to ride an R90s before it will warm up enough to idle and not stall without some throttle? -- For information about our Airbnb and things to do in and around Sergeantsville, NJ.

Hi all, I need a few more pieces before I can start to restore my 1975 90S. If anyone has any of the following they are willing to part with, please PM me. 1975 date coded Fork legs Front disc rotor bolts - INFA or INKA on head Front fender bolts - INFA or INKA on head Grab rail cap screw - INFA on head Front and rear tool boxes Thanks, Richard.

Putting out a feeler for a pair of serviceable R90S cylinders. Prefer those still dimensionally suitable for my OEM pistons but would consider +1 or +2 overbores in very good condition. Please PM me if you’ve got something to offer. Thanks. Don

Better front brake with STOCK look: https://www.r90s.info/Articles/upgrade_brakes.html TL;DR: 14mm master cyl from R90/6, with second hole drilled, and 40mm ATE calipers from 1978 Airhead, painted black. Braided brake hoses don't hurt, either. Bill Dudley NJ Airmarshal
