William, thank you for the valuable information on front disc brake installation & adjustment. Very easy to follow along with your video.

Hey William, your videos are like looking a master over his shoulder, so called here in Germany. No, of course not 'like'! It IS looking over the masters shoulder. Greetings from near Munich.

Always brilliant..! Many thanks!

Excellent instructional video-thank you!

Thank You for the caliper adjustment procedure. Best method yet, so simple, quick, and easy.

Best BMW videos on the Internet... Thank you...

Great to have you back. Was waiting for the brake system video to finish my r90S. Best videos, best teacher :-)

Such a phenomenal video!! You've covered every imaginable detail that I am going to need on the impending brake rebuild on my R100/7. Got all the parts from you too! Us Airheads are lucky to have you guys

Immer informativ, nach 40 Jahren Airhead-Besitz lerne ich jedes Mal etwas, wenn William die offizielle Erklärung liefert

Thanx for posting.

Glad you are back, William. Sorry to hear of the ransomware incident. Love your calm manner and explanations during the videos. Would love to see a wheel re-spoking video when you have the chance. Thanks again!

Excellent reference and tutorial. Thanks!

Nice to see the works on the R90/6 continue. Brilliant, thank you William :-)

Great to see you back! Greatly appreciate all the videos you have made. You have been a great help on my /6 build. Will definitely be getting some products from you. Look forward to the next video! Safe travels my friend.

Thank you! This video was very helpful since it was so thorough. It will help me with my brake issues (brake failure light on and causing bike not to start). I have a 1980 R100t that I put my Ural sidecar on.

you have solved some of my issues, I thank you. All I needed was some education... My R100S will be all the better because I subscribed to you.

Thanks for sharing your expertise in such a pleasant and enjoyable manner.

Glad to see you back. From airheads in Atlantic Canada! '74 R90S

Great videos lads. Glad you’re back showing us your tips and tricks.

I wish I had a master like you.

Glad to see you back. And another great video to boot!!

? The manual says to make sure the hole in the axle (right side) is parallel to the ground. Always wondered why & what if it's not ? Noticed you did it. As I look at other bikes seems like ~70-75% do that, 15-20% it's vertical, 10% random....been trying to get this answered for ~40 years....THANKS Your videos are amazing !

I followed this video step by step. Great video. I did run into one issue not covered in the video (or maybe I missed it?). There is a little sleeve that must go on at the hand control unit along with the cable. When I got my cable, I tried to install it per the video, which didn't mention the required sleeve. The sleeve comes with post-09/1975 model cables, but for the pre-1975 models, the sleeve is sold separate from the cable. Just something I learned and wanted to share.

Another great video. I was going to pick up a pair of your hydraulic lines for my 74 R90s. Keep the original look, similar to BMWs product, etc. So much conversation about using stainless braided, which I get. Seems you have no problem going with the new rubber ones, which gives me a vote of confidence. Thanks

Purfect timing to start on my /5 restoration!

He loves that LM47. LOL

Brilliant! Just wrestled with bleeding the front brakes on my R100S today and you’ve answered a number of my questions. Also, would like to know if the Lubri-Moly oils you sell are compatible with airheads. I believe the older engines need high zinc, etc. content. Thanks again!

Thank you for this amazing video. Is the process for a double front disc the same? I have a 1977 r100/7

Thank you for your thorough and well produced videos. They are incredibly helpful. My R100RS was converted to use a handlebar mounted master cylinder and a splitter under the tank. I’m having trouble getting proper pressure at the handle. Do I need to bench bleed them? I didn’t install a New system just new pads and fluid flush.

Assume bleeding dual disk would be the same process?...Tube. Loosen bleeder. Draw fluid through. Pump lever while doing to get air out. Tighten. Repeat on other side? TY!

How tight do you torque down the plug at 25:00? The Haynes manual indicates that 44-48 ft-lbs of torque is required for the “caliper pivot retention plug” but I’m not sure if this is what that is referring to.

i HAVE A PROBLEM.. I installed the kit (correctly). piston moves smoothly. but not getting ANY fluid to move at all. Even with the lines off the master cylinder. no fluid comes out of the master right at the line hook up. What is the problem??

apprentice needs grand master.

Awesome videos! I just bought a R75/6 -75 with twin disc brakes, which i am currently restoring. Your videos help a lot! I am considering a wider handle bar than i currently have, and i need to change the brake wire. Does anyone know if i can use a different (longer) brake cable between the brake handle and the master cylinder than the OEM for my handle bar? Perhaps one from a GS model?

Guys, Saying hello from the UK, loving this series in preparation for getting a restoration project myself. I have the chance of a ‘76 R75/6 but it has a twin disc setup on the front. I thought only the 90S came with 2 discs or was it an option on other models?

R75/7-rebuilt my caliper with kit, new brake pads, and new brake line. The brakes are working OK, but now at medium speeds (~45 mph) I get major front tire wobble that wasn't there before. Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Could you please explain which connector goes where on the master cylinder (both brake light and on the fluid container). Thanks.

I have a 79 R100 airhead.. do you have any video on the rear brake bleed procedure? Everywhere I look there’s no really any solid procedures. Thank you

do you ever clean and/or lube your cables?

William, been trying to reach you guys by phone and email without success. Looking to purchase some parts but need to discuss a few technical issues. What’s the best way to connect?

What tire is that on the front?
