I recently aquired a 1978 R100/7 touring machine. There is an electrical issue it seems with the ignition. My brother (owner of the machine for 34 years) and his mechanic friend had trouble shot all the wiring to the entire system and found no faults. The Tach will jump around a bit and the machine will cut out intermittently running like it does not have all the spark that it needs. This unit had the dual plug retrofit done in the 80s and Howard has taken this machine from Wisconsin to Texas to Montana and back with out issue. I wondered if the coils would deteriorate over the years, or the Ignition Amplifier is the issue. There is a bit of carbon buildup on the left plugs. but the right plug seems to be burning fine. ANY THOUGHTS> where can I find a new set of coils and how much would they cost?? The existing were made in Rosemont Ill. but I can find no part number on them.


how do I get away from this and go to bmbikes.co.uk which is the address I post to. I keep ending up here.


I need an estimate of value for insurance reasons.
Have owned the bike since new.
Would like any info I can get about this model.

Contrary to popular opinion, the motorcycles used in Easy Rider have not both been lost or destroyed. One of them, which was wrecked during filming, has been restored by Dan Hagerty, who played Grizzly Adams in the TV show of the same name.

BMW is the only current major manufacturer to reject the use of telescopic forks on its big bikes. Yet BMW was the first to use and patent them, on the R12 in 1935.
