    1977 R100/7 "scrambler" in Seattle. Know it?

    Hey- I'm in Michigan and my son lives in the eastern Sierra in California. He has decided his Beemer "lacks soul" and wants an airhead. He's chatted with a guy in Seattle who has a bike listed on Craigslist. I've owned airheads for the many years and talked with the fellow too. He seems...

    Greetings from Washington, DC

    Hi all, I'm Robb. The recent purchaser of Godfather's cherry 1978 R100/7. I found it on the advrider forum while asking questions about an R90/6 for sale locally. When I saw the bike and the care that went into it, I knew I'd found my airhead. After a few emails and phone calls, we made the...

    '78 R100/7 points

    I have heard that there are imposter points floating around. Is there a way, or are there any for sure identifying marks on the genuine Bosch/BMW point sets? How can one know if he/she has the factory ones? Are the factory ones still available or do the normal BMW parts places (Bob's...

    Frame damage...

    The frame is from a 77 R100RS and is unique in that regard. A good replacement frame with paper is a couple hundred but destroys the authenticity which happens now and then...I can get a 77 factory fresh frame NOS that has no numbers. Don't want to give up without looking at all options.
