Albert Left-side Replica Mirror


Make your restoration complete with a perfect replica of the classic original Albert Mirror. Fits any 1955 to '69 BMW that has a threaded 8mm mounting hole on top of the clutch lever bracket on the left side of the handlebar. Note: mirror has left-hand (reverse) thread. Make sure your mirror hole still has the original left-hand threads in good condition. If not, mirror thread restoration is available through our service department. Click here for more details.

Classic R90S Fairing


R90S fairing KitsThe BMW 'S' Fairing , a timeless work of moto-art, can be installed on most 1974 through '90 air-cooled twins. Bob's is now offering everything you need to install one yourself: the fairing shell (in primer), a complete mounting hardware kit with instructions, a variety of windshields to choose from, and optional auxiliary instruments, European handlebar, and more. The price to put euro-cool on your bike? Less than you'd think.

See the R90S Fairing Kit page.


Air-Head Electrics


Air-Head Electrics
Charging system problems are a common complaint among Air-Head owners. Starter motors can be a problem too, since original Bosch starters are no longer available and the replacement Valeo model from BMW seems to have some reliability issues. Pictured here are just a few of our after-market Electrical System products that can help you keep running while saving you money too. Each one is a proven performer that will enhance your machine's reliability. Get peace of mind and a great value!

See Air-heads Electrics page.


Bob's Exhaust Nut Wrenches

Recently we saw one of our Exhaust Nut Wrenches sell on eBay for about 50 bucks—and it was USED! Though we like the idea of the free market, we thought you might like to save a few bucks by buying a new Exhaust Nut Wrench directly from us at HALF the amount paid by some sucker on eBay.

Our unique Exhaust Nut Wrench for air-heads is made of high grade bronze alloy. It's German made, strong enough to loosen the most stubborn exhaust nuts, and cleverly designed to work with previously damaged fins. We've even added a pilot hole at the top of the handle so that if you choose to hang the wrench you have a place to start drilling. Yeah, we think of everything!

There is nothing like having the right tool for the job. This is it, and it's only $26.95. Use it on R68, R69, R69S, and all air-cooled twins from 1970 on...

* Note that in the case of improperly installed exhaust nuts which have become seized or, in effect, welded on, the best way to remove them is by cutting. Forcing a seized nut will only cause more harm and cost more money to repair.

Hepco and Becker Classic Panniers

Famous Hepco and Becker Classic Panniers These the bags that were OEM on models in the late 70s and beyond. (Before that, nearly identical bags were manufactured by Krauser as aftermarket accessories.) These German-made bags are now wide enough to accept a full face helmet, but barely different in appearance. They feature improved rear latches which will work with either your original bag mount brackets or new Hepco & Becker mounts, available separately. The bags have a circular recess molded into each lid that, coincidentally, is just the right size for standard self-adhesive BMW logo badges, which we include at no additional charge!

These bags will fit all Boxer twins from 1970 to 1984 (though not ideal for GS and ST models), and many later air-heads ('85 and on) if equipped with the proper mounting brackets.(see below.)

Hepco & Becker 37 liter Classic Saddlebags ($439*)

*Oversize charge of $8.00 for this item.


Chrome Mount System for Hepco & Becker Panniers and Top-Case

Made by the same people that brought back the classic saddlebags, this mounting system is ideal for your Hepco & Becker panniers, as well as the earlier bags from either Krauser or BMW. The high quality chrome finish will shine on your classic bike for years to come.

Got too much stuff? How about adding the matching Hepco & Becker Luggage Rack? This sensibly sized rack comes in chrome and bolts onto any of the H & P bag mount sets.

($129.95)

Go all the way. Top it all off with the H & P 30 liter Top Case! It's the perfect complement to the versatility and style of the classic bags. More than big enough to swallow a full face helmet, this top case is specifically designed to attach to the above luggage rack with a lockable quick-release latch.

Hepco & Becker 30 liter Top Case, (requires above Luggage Rack) ($199.95*)

Watch your weight! Preserve the safety and handling of your bike by not overloading the back! This applies to all motorcycles, but could be particularly important with older bikes. Only light-weight items should be carried on rear racks and in top cases.

Replacement Body Work

Long Front Fenders (standard '70-'76 style, and wider Police version), Side Covers -or battery covers for most /6 and /7 models, and /5 Tool Tray. These more affordable replicas are made in the US, and except for the tool tray which was plastic, use the same material as the originals. This fiber-glass, however, is hand-laid which makes it stronger and easier to repair. All items are primed and ready for paint. Note: mounting holes on repro fenders are not pre-drilled. This is done intentionally because typical holes would not necessarily be used in all applications, therefore no filling or patching is required. Mounting hole locations are indicated, so drilling is easy.

Long Front Fender, fits all 1970-'84 (except R65, R80GS/ST)

Repro Valve Covers

Replace your worn-out, scraped-up and ugly valve covers with our high-quality, low-cost replicas . Our superbly cast, German made valve covers are indisguishable from the originals, and priced significantly less. These are the graceful rounded pieces typical of /5 and /6 models, but if you've got a 1977 or newer model with "square" looking covers, go retro! These valve covers are a direct replacement for ALL air-heads, so go ahead and add some style.

Repro Valve Covers (for all '70 to '95 Air-Heads)
Number of valve covers ($59.95 each)

Brown's Sidestand

The OEM sidestands on early BMWs were not always confidence inspiring. They were prone to retracting unexpectedly, bending over time, or just breaking all together and leaving your bike resting on its valve cover. The Brown's Sidestand, a staple accessory for many years, is strong, sturdy, and easier to use. Remove one of life's uncertainties by using a side stand that actually works! Easy to install!

Brown Sidestand for 1970 to 1984 air-head twins (excluding R65, R80GS/ST)
($159.39)

Brown Sidestand for 1979 to 1984 R65 & R65LS air-head twins

BMW Tank Emblems

Years of harsh sunlight and hard riding have dulled or chipped your beautiful BMW roundels. Well, replace them with new ones from Bob's. We stock both styles of enamel cloisonne emblems: the original /5 screw-on style, and the later type, used originally on the R90S, which is held on by adhesive (not included). Even if you don't have an R90S, these emblems are a great looking touch-of-class for any model that uses the common 70mm (2.75 in.) emblems.

The Vintage Scene Mug

BMW post cards setThe artwork from our most popular T-shirt design has now been applied to a ceramic 12 ounce mug. This distinctive mug was produced in limited quantities to commemorate the official dedication of The Vintage Museum at Bob’s BMW. The “Vintage Scene,” an intriguing art deco style commercial illustration from 1937, shows a couple of intrepid motorcyclists mingling with a party of golfers in what may have been an early effort to suggest that riding a BMW was as much a sport of the privileged elite as golf. It seems that BMW publicists to this day are still hoping our sport will catch on with the country club set. It’s our hope, however, that as you mull over the enduring class struggle of motorcyclists, you’ll feel privileged enough just sipping your favorite beverage from this beautiful mug!
