BMW R65 - Have you ever owned one?
|
As subject.
|
NO .....
|
You are one of the reasons why I changed my posting name my little
homophone.
|
|
|
is this a trick question?
|
|
Am I exempt from answering?
|
Answer away.
|
Never, niet, nada, nein, non and no
|
Never believe anything until its been officially denied...

Are you invoking the Fifth Amendment?
|
|
|
Yes.
|
I concur.
At least the Brembos are fitted correctly.
|
An orange R65LS, it was.
|
An Orange LS.....
You are a very sick puppy indeed
(pots kettles etc)
|
Punted it out to a paddy a while back.
|
Good. Glad you answered my little appeal. You didn't happen to fit any
shock absorbers to said bike...?
|
I did not.
|
So you didn't notice they'd been fitted the wrong way round?
|
They were? Good Lord. In what way, surely not upside down?
|
darsy has an excuse; you don't.
|
How can shock absorbers be fitted the wrong way round? They're not
handed, surely? And, it used to be a common 'thing' to fit old
girlings "upside down", for some reason.
|
They are handed and very obviously so. Particularly on European
machines; especially on German ones.
|
Oh. How odd.
Does it matter?
|
The reason Girlings were fitted upside down was, apparently, an unsprung
weight matter.
|
The oil filled variety fitted with the damper assembly at the bottom.
The gas filled variety were fitted with the damper assembly at the top.
That might fit in with the unsprung weight bit.
Which end of the damper counts as unsprung?
|
The bit at the wheel end. YTC.
