Once the speedo goes on your GS it turns into a real mess as there are no alternative instruments that can take its place inside the moulded OEM cockpit. The HPN Sport cockpit provided a cost effective way to replace the complete cockpit with instrument but unfortunately Accerbis stopped the...

Since fitting the new Spark exhaust system to a customers bike, it became obvious that the centre stand will be rubbing on the underside of the collector box. The reason this is happening is due to the fact that he shortened the centre stand to make it easier to pop the bike on the center stand...

A client have recently asked me to replace his entire exhaust system on his 85 G/S. Naturally there is nothing of the shelf to fit these bikes locally and BMW only supplies header pipes. Getting a generic tail piece to fit using Powerflow headers and collector box ended up being the last resort...

As many of you dogs already know, I have been involved with HPN for quite some time now. Recently it became clear that they are almost exclusively serving a few select customers, mostly German. This prompted me to take the next step in producing my own frame modifications. I have managed to...

These pegs are designed by HPN and they drop the pegs 13mm straight down(without moving the peg forward like some other designs). On the airhead GS frames the peg position is already a tad too far forward so an ideal setup would be to move the peg slightly backward instead of more forward like...

This is a thread aimed at identifying all the differences between the regular road and touring models vs the GS's produced by BMW between 1975 and 1995. I would like to start with the sub frame. All the road models used the same basic sub frame and on many models, especially the earlier models...

This thread started as the "TIG Weld Trolley build" but due to the conversation taking a general TIG welding info section direction when trolley got finished, I decided to change the title but please read the story as there is lots of interesting commentary, otherwise jump to page 4 somewhere...

I urgently need the sizes of the Paris Dakar lettering on the 85 PD tanks. I need the height of the lettering and the length of the sticker. If someone have such a tank and can post the sizes here it will be great. I need this to work out the sticker sizes on White Rhinos new project bike...

There have been much talk about home grown HPN's lately and although I would not venture into the murky waters of the para lever and Sport models, I think that coming up with a solid mono lever extended swing arm and drive shaft that is reliable and performs well will be within  the abilities of...
