Restoration Notes – Rust Removal, Horn Engine Mount, Gas Tank Mounts, Dimmer Switch Wiring Ordered
Chassis - Rust Removal (Continues)
- Removed horn assembly, removed gas tank, removed upper engine mount. ground rust and refinished all mount assembly’s. Replaced rusted hardware on horn assembly.
- Ordered dimmer hi/low wiring harness. Note that the /2 dimmer hi/low harness and switch runs about $150 at Bluemoon (part 71a listed below). This was a little too costly for my current budget. After closer examination of Blue Moons exploded parts listing I found out that the wiring harness can be purchased separately for $14 (Part 90 listed below). This may require some soldering work at the switch, but well worth the money saved. Lessoned learned here – do your research.
- Ordered new fuel lines, spark plugs plug wires, plug caps, kick start bumper. The kick start bumper was pretty costly $30. This is a pretty basic part but unfortunately very custom to /2’s.

I see you mentioned Blue Moon a number of times. I find their parts to be very over priced at times...sometimes by as much as 300%. Have you tried Hans at www.bmwhucky.com? Good stuff, reasonable prices, and super fast shipping. I've also ordered parts from Benchmarks, as well as www.maxbmw.com (Max, by the way, has a great online parts fiche for these bikes in case you didn't know about it).
