Air Cooled Trio

This is an 2 year old? pic taken just as the /2 was put back on the road. will have to wait for the snow to melt for an updated picture. Thanks to J. Strickland aka woodnsteel for not converting the /2, the r90/6 parts bike I got with the /2 will soon be back on the road also.

You can only fit so many Beemers in a one-car garage ...

Here are the three roadworthies. The R75/6 is in pieces on the shelf. 4 Beemers in a one-car garage is comfortable but I could fit more in here if I had too.

:nodGreat collection! After all, some questions are hard. Do I want an RT or an RS? What should I do on days when I want to feel the wind? Red or blue? What, no "S" type?:whistle
 
nice assortment of rides
wish I had the hard decisions you must face some days
fairing or no fairing
rt or rs
or does it just boil down to " what color today ? " :laugh

touring tank with toaster wrapped up? You dog! Keep it that way. Knee pads and 6 gallons for getting there; use the toaster for showing off! Good deal.

Low miles barn bike

What all are U doing to ur '74 Eleot. I've got my '74 900 apart, too.

My bike was in A barn for many years,I don't know how many but it has very low miles on it.It's getting new paint(black)new side covers(with 900 stickers),new handle bars,going from A 24" drag bar to A 30" euro bar.And I've changed all fluids and I have to do some work on the front wheel and you know,a list of other stuff.Spring is on it's way to Michigan and my airhead will be ready. elyotsidecar#132866:dance
 
10-4 I've had mine 20 years. probably 200,000 on it. I'm on my 2nd rebuild, this time over the top. Has been my alltime favorite bike. It's been a runner, rallyrat, trailbike, rode hard and put up wet. Now it's on the way to being a show bike, better than when it was new. Ride and enjoy.
 
Nice looking bike, bro. That thing will be waiting for you in your garage for the next year. You could always bring it up here and I'll take care of it for you.

Take care.

Tim
 
i know nothing at all about airheads but all these great pics makes me want to get one, but at my height (5'2", 28" inseam) i do not think i will be able to reach the ground. what would be the best way to lower an airhead? shorter shocks & custom low seat? what about the front forks, slide them up in the triple tree?

thanks
George

There's been a few threads; here's one:

Changing the suspension geometry can create hidden problems. I think the best way to go is via the seat. There was a write up in the lastest Airhead Airmail about how someone modified the rails around the battery and lowered the seat a goodly amount.
