My 1971 BMW for now has Mikuni Carbs. The original 1971 Bings were pure junk, unlike the later Bings.
Today, I picked up a pair of R100/7 carbs (number on carbs is 64/32/ 357 & 64/32 358) for $150.00 for a pair. Kinda hard to refuse.
Anyway, to install these on my 71 R75/5, where do I start? Is there a jet kit to start with? Would it be the same jet sizes as in my old junky 1971 Bings?
Most of my riding is around 5,000 feet elevation, if that makes any difference.
I guess I also need throttle cables, choke cable.
If I go back to the stock air filter, what tubes do I use from the air filter casing to the carbs on a R75/5?
Anything else I should know before I try to install these on my R75/5?
