My son and I have inherited my fathers 1990 R100RT. It was rebuilt before the "Tranny" went bad (for the second time). Dad dropped it of at a repair shop on his way to Florida several years back but never picked it up. So now we would like to find a tranny to fit so we can go to the National this summer in PA. My question is, what year tranny will fit in this bike? I have checked E-Bay. Any other place to find the correct tranny? FYI the 1990 has 160,000 on the clock. The 1984 R-80RT I want to ride to the national also has 160,000+ miles.

re-psycle
For al of my used airhead parts needs, I go to re-psycle near Columbus, OH. Great guys. They always have had what I needed for reasonable $$$. They have lots of airhead parts. You might also try Emerson Motor Works in southern VT. Davis is a great guy and he also has lots of airhead parts.

I have had great luck finding parts at Martindale Motorcycle Works. Mikey is known throughout Texas and beyond as one of the great airhead gurus. He has a barnful of used airhead parts as that is his main business. I've found him to honest and most helpful. He ships and takes credit cards. His number is 512-357-2842
1981 and on.
1981 and on will fit the bike. However, from about 1985 through 1994 model years, BMW saved a few pfennig and left out a circlip and the groove to install it. After a few thousand miles, the front bearing begins to creep and you end up with needing a transmission rebuild. You can probably find a transmission at Beemer Boneyard, Repsycle, etc., but for any work on it, sent it to a pro - Tom Cutter, Anton Largiader, Ted Porter, etc. who work on them day in and day out and KNOW how to repair one.
