BMW Airhead Yearly Final Drive Maintenance

April 10, 2013 in Care and Maintenance

drain2Found a great little tech tip on the Airheads Beemer club page on Facebook.  It mentioned the annual inspection of your final drive on the rear wheel of /5 /6 /7 airheads.  I know there are several BMW Airhead guys in our Vintage and Cafe group, so I thought I’d share this maintenance reminder.  Visit the site, he has a lot of good information on it.

This hole can get plugged up.  It often gets plugged up with excessive spline grease.  If the seal is leaking badly and the hole is plugged up, the oil will run over the lip, down and get on the brake shoes.  They suggest that once a year it get blown out with compressed air.  One can use a wire, but the hole isn’t very straight and the wire probably won’t get through a clear hole.  Sometimes a pipe cleaner will work too.

ART & MOTO – Design Challenge

April 8, 2013 in Cafe Projects, HomeSlideShow, QCMAR Rally

504126b28f722.preview-300We are sponsoring a local art challenge to coincide with the upcoming Mods & Rockers rally here in Cincinnati on June 1st.  Essentially we are having local artists design, paint, sculpt on a motorcycle helmet during the month of April and then we will have an art gallery opening and show to showcase their work on this unique 3D canvas.   At the rally on Saturday night we will have a live auction to auction them off for charity.   So bring some cash and you could be riding with a very unique helmet or use it to dress up that man cave of yours!
