The BMW GS boxer twin thread

I updated my Trade Me auction this afternoon with a pic and list of all the spare bits. I actually ran out of room to list it all, turns out there's a limit to how many characters you can have in an auction listing.

I borrowed a couple of RGV nissin callipers of Nordie today so will have a mock up & see what they look like.
When I was at the Suzuki shop (buying some yamaha indicators for my Kawasaki) an RF turned up out side so I could get a good look at the callipers. The calliper mounting holes seemed quite a bit more spaced than the RGV ones. At least it gives me something else to look at when I give the arm a rest from de rusting the spokes

Ah thanks.
What's a reasonable price to expect to pay for one of these? There are a pair for about $250.

Anyone got a 2nd hand Clymer manual they're not needing & wish to sell?
$99 on trademe as an indication of price.

Didnt see these come up. Any amount of Nissin 4 pots on e-bay for between $30-50 USD. Then you need to factor in freight at between USD 40-55. So those ones would be a about right at NZD 100.

If you get an adapter made up, maybe get two? I am looking to do this as well.

What sort of condition was your unifilter in? If good, would you consider letting me have it?

Cheers, Steve

Thats what I got one of for $70, pretty much every big Suzuki Sports Tourer and some of the 600cc sports bikes used these for years. $250 is daylight robbery.
