Attached is a picture where I am measuring the height of my Reynolds stand. The tape measure is against the ground, and running parallel with the stan...

I have had a Reynolds Ride-Off center stand on my ‘78 all it’s life. I am curious because mine has an intermediate cross bar between the “legs”, and t...

Fear not, if you try to put it on the right side, the fact that it’s wrong will become quickly apparent. It goes on the left with the axle nut.

Yikes! Be sure you let us know what you find. I presumed the valve work included new seats? I’m thinking it’s an issue with the valve seat, perha...

It also occurred to me that Ted Porter mentioned that Robert used to visit his Beemer Shop. Mr. Porter may know how to reach him.

Curious - did the bike try to move in 1st or 2nd? Or, just make alarming noises? Don’t know exactly what was apart where, but the driveshaft is re-b...

He pops up on Facebook. Thought I saw him post recently in the “BMW Airheads” Facebook group. Maybe you could message him.

Good job! My 78 had a Dyna ignition for about 12 years. It worked great until the day it didn’t. Like a lot of such items, it quit when hot. Then it ...
