HELLA SPOTLIGHT SEARCH LAMP FOR PORSCHE 356 - VW BUS - BMW VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE


I am selling my personal "Perfect Condition" Hella Spotlight.  This one is the best of the collection. I was saving this for my next restoration, decided to let this go to another collector. I tested the light this morning and it works perfectly. These lights are great investments. The chrome is absolutely perfect, a solid 10. I took a lot of close up pictures to show you the pristine condition of this light, needs nothing, ready to mount. As you know these lights are not being reproduced, so there aren't many around. This will always be a good investment. I have a couple of these on my vintage BMW bikes, everyone comments on theses lights. I have a BMW catalog that shows these lights sold for about $25.00 about 50-60 years ago. I also have a "rare spotlight bracket" that I will be selling. I have been told this bracket mounts the spotlight on a vintage VW, Porsche or BMW sidecar. Take a look, I had a guy about 10 years ago offer me crazy money for this bracket. Thought I might use it someday. Decided to let it go. All of my sales on Ebay are vintage related and I have 100% positive feedback, so bid with confidence. I will be selling another Spotlight that needs some TLC, please look at my other items. I am also selling some very nice Dover White Craven Bags. Thanks and good luck! The ad is just for the Spot Light, not the bracket. It will be sold separately in another Ebay auction. I have purchased these lights before that needed a complete restoration. Most of this is pretty basic, with the exception of the chroming. It is almost impossible to find any decent chroming company that will do this because of the type metal that the Hella is made from. Then you will lay awake at night praying that the shop guys don't destroy the light during the cleaning and prep process. If they mess it up, they cannot replace the light. This is the reason you are much better off buying a light that is perfect to start with. It will save you a lot of money and stress. Thanks for looking!! Good luck

Ohlins Issues Recall Notice For BMW S1000RR And R1200R Steering Dampers

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Ohlins is issuing a recall notice for select aftermarket steering dampers for the BMW S1000RR and R1200R. The company believes the bracket holding the damper in place to be improperly machined, and a probable material defect in the aluminum alloy could cause stress fractures. Ohlins states that although “there is no risk for losing control during normal riding,” there is a risk the bracket will fail during slow-speed maneuvers, where the bars are turned at maximum steering angle.

Survey Says Harley-Davidson and BMW Motorcycles Less Reliable Than Japanese – But Owners Don’t Care

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

A new survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center finds BMW and Harley-Davidson  owners are much more likely to report major problems with their motorcycles than owners of Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha motorcycles. The survey, which will appear on the April 2013 issue of Consumer Reports, says one in three BMW owners reported experiencing a major problem with their bikes in the last four years. Harley-Davidson owners were slightly better, with one in four reporting serious issues.
