I had a shot at an 80 GS a few years ago and chose the R100/7 instead because it was $2000 cheaper. I should have gotten the GS. It's what might happen if my two current bikes could get it on & have...

I'm in the same boat as the OP, but I started with an airhead and got a KLR. I keep thinking I should get rid of the /7 but then I ride it and say "no way".
The KLR is good for errands in town and...

I'm pretty sure /5-era turn signal housings are still aluminum. If those ones are plastic, they're probably for a later model. I think they'll fit but obviously they aren't as durable or cool-looking.

Thanks for the additional info, guys! I haven't had any symptoms of the front seal leaking (no clutch slip or puddles up front). But the spline lube was my next planned task so I'll take a good look...

Turns out the circlip was inside next to the bottom arm. Minor PITA to get it out, but once done, the pin came right out. I'm glad I did this - the bearings & washers are starting to get pitted.

/7 Clutch Lever Pin
So I'm trying to access the throwout bearing for inspection and I can't get this pin to budge. It rotates fairly freely but it just won't slide out. Seems to be stuck in the lever as opposed to the...

I just got an Interstate sealed battery for my R100/7. For $155 it had better freakin' last a while. (Yeah, I know - I got hosed. :eek1 FWIW it's made in the USA.)
It seems to be similar in size...

AIRHEADS: the side stand seems fine for quick stops. Use it very long & oil seeps thru the rings on the left cylinder and I make a big cloud when I take off. :topes So, if it's more than 5 minutes,...

Thanks for all the responses, guys! I like the sound of that Tygon stuff. The NAPA is OK (is WAY thicker than BMW braid) but it does seem to crack up after a year or two.
