Re: BMW Airhead "Kompressor" Reborn

There used to a train of thought on old air cooled cars from yesteryear that long inlet tracts made for good atomisation, but that was using carburettors, not injectors. However, most modern motorcycles have injectors closer to the valves for low speed running and the furthest from the valves at hi...

Re: 70-something Stires Trike

We're pretty much on the same thought process on that, on my bike I located the fan within a frontal air scoop that is used to direct air towards the rider from the opposite side on the fairing, and has a direction change device that keeps rain separate from the ram air.

Just mentioning, as I did a pretty diligent cleaning/ painting operation on my rims, but the brake dust is so corrosive, that I'm considering stripping everying, and going wi...
