I understand.  Especially after the surgical repair of my right distal bicep tendon rupture trying to catch my fully loaded /7 bike from falling with one hand.  That was a humbling experience - what an idiot I am.

If such a small part can add to your comfort and riding pleasure I feel it's worth it.

check out EZ pull throttle return springs, 5 minutes install for both carbs.  I put them on both my airheads, I really noticed the difference....

Tune up screw. Works very well for balancing carbs the old way.

64/32/325 & 326 is one pair of numbers for a US 82- R65.

Type 64/Size 32mm/Model No left & right.  

There may be others as I think the number changed with different jetting between UK and US models.


Take a look here for more details

Thanks, Barry

I ordered the EZ Springs today and needed the right carb number.

Will report back how they work after I receive & install & ride.

I use mine rarely, but do use it.  I find it hard to get properly set and that's more distraction than I need.  I am going to try those lighter springs though.

Got my throttle stop today - yay!

Had to use a hacksaw to cut down the threads on the mirror stem - a very tight, precision fit and screw!

Do I have to worry about the screw working it's way out when riding?  It doesn't take much screwing in before the throttle stops springing shut.  Was thinking of putting a little teflon tape but interested in your experiences!

Got the power plate today for my aux power port - now (according to Mr. Roller) there are only 5 left at the BMW warehouse!  It's a nice piece for $6.
