@wobbly Yes! very helpful indeed. The /6 is going to have to wait it out until spring with a dry tank. I don't think I'll put Fluid Film in there. ...

Oops, I'm thinking about the 1976 R90/6 with the metal tank. I've been riding the PD (yes plastic) and will keep that on the road. But storing the /6....

@wobbly I tried the soap and didn't find anything, but I am lucky to have a plastic basin and could immerse the wheel/tire. Sure enough there were abo...

Yeah, I'm total a cave man balancer. Used an old bicycle truing stand for a while - then build a simple jig out of wood. It actually works pretty well...

Finally made it out to Maynard, MA to visit Duncan of Duncan's Beemers. He's our local guru. I think he's ridden more older GSs than anyone around. He...

That is encouraging. Taking care of an aging parent right now, but when I get home I'll check for sure. It would be so great to solve this. The suspen...

Thanks for the advice. I've gone through most of that... Should have said this vibration can be felt on the center stand at RPMs over 2,500. Most pron...

Great. I get a lot of vibration and will try adding bar end weights. Use them on my R90 /6 and I think it helps. The PD is very "high strung" and I mo...

Got it. Floats on order. thanks!
