Hi There
Can you please tell me what the tyre make is and sizes if possible?
Thanks.
Jason.

Ah just noticed the centre stand I have the same problem with my 83 RS

It might be prudent to attack this now before you go any farther

You need about an inch clear of the ground at rear wheel to be "ANY" sort of use at all

I already have a new stand and bushes and I am contemplating a later type stand or a cut n shut and reweld job

They are THEE most horrible stands I have ever encountered on a motorcycle Especially a BMW

[IanB]

Not sure about the stand problem - the rear wheel is on the ground because there is no subframe or rear suspension fitted...

[Jaythro]

I was originally thinking that but I was wondering did the OP fit this bar with one shock on to "keep the lines"?

My 83 R100RS has the same stand and is Horrible to get on and off it

I am hoping a later stand will be changeable onto it

Not sure about the stand problem - the rear wheel is on the ground because there is no subframe or rear suspension fitted...

why cant i see pics?

I was going to ask the same thing. All I can see is a graphic like this...

It's a photobucket thing. From what I've heard they no longer offer free storage and are charging $400 a year for what has always been free so consequently no-ones accounts now work.

That is exactly why I have dumped Photobucket and only use Flickr who don't charge for anything unless you opt for the Pro account.

I have more than a few build threads spread across the www that are now just garbage with all the pictures unavailable.

Photobucket have offered and advertised their third party hosting services for free for a decade or more, then suddenly dump this on their huge customer base. A brilliant marketing strategy, I sincerely hope they go bust!

Try this for the photobucket fix,

If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the right side of the screen and click them. A drop down should appear. Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on extensions. Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions." In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter. Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again.

For FireFox users, click on the three bars on the right side of the screen, then click on add ons. Click search for "photobucket hotlink" and click install. Same result.

Thanks Sam. That works a treat on Chrome

For gawd's sake, don't wrap the pipes!
