tool kit

[Colin]

when airheads were new did they come with a toolkit, and is that what the compartment is for under the seat at the rear. mine is a 1977 R100 RS. motorsport.
I've got the rusty remains of the original blue seat, and I see there is a place where the handbook would have been stored.

Brilliant. Thanks for that Garry.

Tool kits were in a tool roll and in the (tool)box with a rubber lid under the seat on top of the battery inbetween the top subframe rails. . A BMW cable lock was stored in the main frame tube, slid in where the front of the (tool)box locates.

toolbox

So I gather my toolbox is missing. I must try and look at another airhead to see what it looks like. So is the compartment at the rear just general storage to put ie leggings.

The compartment could have been to store the first aid kit

Per the above comments, these pics are from the original brochure (heavy flywheel model, not sure exactly what year).

NB the brochure covered other models too so these pics may or may not be RSs.

I am not sure that lock would defeat today's crims.

From the days when they cared rather than just cynically adding another digital gizmo with no real purpose. But, have you ever tried changing a tyre with those levers?

 

[The Other PaulG]

That's a proper toolkit though, isn't it? (tyre levers perhaps excepted).

Around the same time, the 'monkey metal' offering you'd get with a Yam, for instance, made the BM tools look very good.

It is indeed. I always carry the original tool kit on my ‘89 GS with the only addition being a small electrical tool kit.

I've managed to get a tool tray from a local guy but I don't think I will pay that price for the motorworks toolkit, He said the lock was called a BMW trilock. Did they supply a pump for the tyres? Good pictures from the original brochure, you don't get quality like that now.

The other paul G #8 pic shows the pump under LHS frame rail. About £30 from Motorworks black or silver
