Easily one of the best and most complete Airhead tech sites on the web. If snobum says it so it most
likely is.
/5 Tool Tray, one of the few items that BMW no
longer makes for the /5 is the tool tray. This is a
handlaid fiberglass repro. Strong, works great,
beautiful in a functional sort of way. On my bike I'd
paint the outside black and install the BMW rubber
edging, that is still available. It's part #
52531232685. This tray may need some sanding
etc. If the price seems steep it's quite a bit of time
and fiberglass to make the thing.

BMW Airhead GS and G/S Aluminum Shift Lever.
Besides being better looking this lever gives you
more room between the shifter and footpeg. It's a
more comfortable position and decreases the
chance of bumping the shift lever accidently. It is
machined from quality 2024-t4 aluminum and
includes stainless steel mounting hardware. The
shifter is mounted in the first hole in front of the
present rubber shift lever and requires that you
remove the old lever by cutting..
Includes complete easy to understand instructions.
$25.00 + $4.50 postage

inches long.

I've one of those Harbor Freight tire changers. Works
OK and is usually a big help but fails miserably at not
marring rims and won't hold the rims for my R100gs at
all. So I came up with these blocks to hold the rims
more securely and without scratching. These are
made from recycled deck material. Seemed like a
perfect material and a good way to recycle the cutoffs.

one priority mail envelope. An online ordering system may be in the future some day but for now just
email me, I'll let you know the amount and you can paypal me or mail a check. I am happy to do
International Orders, but due to increased time of going to different much farther away post office,
filling out forms and always waiting in a long line I have to charge a $5.00 charge in addition to
shipping costs. Thanks, Jeff Trapp
