@wobbly metric sized tires also are sized in pure width, by the first set of numbers, i.e. 110 or 120. The following /xx number gives profile percenta...
Using a calculator, a 120/90 mm tire is 4.25" wide. Back in the day, for over 200,000 miles, I mostly ran 4.25" rear tires on twin shock Airheads, but...
That is tragic, and makes me concerned about my 95 R100RT. Wonder how simple it would be to install a CB, coming off the battery, maybe 30-50 AMP? Any...
For 20+ years, I've used an old Cortech series TourMaster, with magnetic mount. It has a zip on/off top section, the bottom section is expandable by z...
I'd really like to install these mirrors on my 95 R100RT. Do you have part numbers for the mirrors you used? Thanks Much

I have read many complaints about heat related failure on aftermarket ignition 'upgrades' for our Airheads. I had an 82 R100RT for about 50,000 miles ...

Reading this thread, I like the idea of a deeper oil pan, and installed them on several prior Airheads. But the cheap side of me is gonna stay with my...
The plug does not look sooty enough to worry about, IMHO. How does the bike start, and run? How about gas mileage? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If...
I second Marc Parnes's balancer. You can find cheaper, but won't find better. Plus, with his, you can order by bike application, i.e. your 1150RT, alb...
I have refurbished speedos on a few (1976-95) Airheads over the decades, most recently my 95 R100RT; not difficult, but painstaking. For the 95 RT, I ...
Question: If the spring is broken in the oil filter bypass valve, wouldn't that make it bypass the filter at a lower PSI than if the spring were in ta...
@4949 About 15 years ago I had a 1976 R90/6 with Hannigan fairing that, I believe, was same as yours. At the time, I rode with a 3/4 helmet, so hate...
