Email them a note about what you need if it's not listed. They don't rip-off with shipping costs and are relatively cheap compared to other BMW parts places.

Also, I seem to be the only one that's had a good experience with Chicago BMW- I ordered a FD bearing (the big Crown 899 bearing) at a listed US$130ish and for some reason they discounted to US$90.

Got my new cable and it wasn't all that badly priced. On a cents per kilometre basis it was 0.000517c per km.

That was the only problem I had obtaining parts for that Beemer.
It wasn't mine, and I know little or nuthin' about the 'orrible krautwagons and the site was organised under "oilheads", "hexheads" and the like (surely as a German bike, there should be a "Squarehead" model).

Agreed, but a quick browse of their site shows they do stock the 13mm Magura kit he should need for the PD.

Updated my earlier post about he R80 for sale, added wof and reg details and aftermarket top clamp.

[igormortis]

Eddie, just curious - what's the size of the E09 on the rear?

edit: asking since it looks like only size available is a 130 and I've been told that any bigger than a 120 rubs the swingarm?

[Eddieb]

Ummm, will have to check. Either 120 or 130 x 18.

[igormortis]

Did you get a chance to look Eddie?

[Eddieb]

4.10 - 18

Someone will need to convert that from old money to new money.

120 .

[igormortis]

120 .

Thanks NordieBoy. I couldn't make sense of any conversion info I found online.

So I guess that means you can get a 120 E09 - just what I wanted to hear.

Sounds like you're hatching a plan.
