BMW Airhead Carb. Sync. Adapters, These adapters are to
help you use the spark plug shorting method to synchronize
your carbs. The plug shorting method is by far the most
accurate method for syncing your carbs as it takes all factors
into account and not just vacuum. These come with
complete easy to understand directions. In addition to the
adapters all you will need are two long plastic handled
screwdrivers. This method of syncing carbs does take alittle
practice to get the coordination down. Once you've practiced
alittle your airhead will be running better than ever.
These adapters will work on any BMW airhead, points or
electronic ignition. They provide very secure attachment
which is what is needed on the electronic igniton models.

BMW Airhead Exhaust Nut Wrench, This is the wrench you
need to remove the exhaust flange nuts on your type 247
airhead. Fits /5 large nuts, the nuts on the r65 and all others.
Wrench is laser cut from 3/8" steel and zinc plated. Wrench will
prove to be more durable then the cast wrenches that are out
there. Approx. 13" long.
Removing the exhaust nuts, cleaning up the threads on them
and the heads and renewing the anti sieze should be once a
year maintenance. Failure to do so can lead to the nut seizing
on the head, requiring you to cut the nuts off or worse you can
strip the threads on the head which requires removing the
head and having the threads replaced by welding or with a
sleeve.
The wrench fits onto the nuts from the front and moves back
into the fins.

* I've recently discovered that a number of our Airhead
gurus are not using the factory speced 29 ft. lbs for the
driveshaft bolts. They suggest 20-22 ft lbs and blue loctite.
I'm doing the same. Please make a note on your old
formula instructions.
