Airhead prep
I have a 1993 R100GSPD which I have ridden far places and without much for problems. It's a Canadian model with 40mm carbs.
Because the shift pawl spring broke, I have the tranny out and getting a rebuild: seals, bearings, springs, inspections and the circlip.
Tis summer I've rebuilt the carbs and installed a new rotor in place of a fried stock unit. 18 months ago I installed a rebuilt shaft (old one looked good). Also a year ago last winter, a rebuilt Bosch replaced the still-working Valeo, and a Thunderchild Diode board with metal mounts replaced the stock board with rubbers. I have a 2 year old Wilbers shock, the stock one is on the shelf with the old diode board, shaft and starter.
I have a steering head bearing kit to install this winter.
To anyone who knows these beasts: any advice as to travel prep? I want to ride to Mexico next May and have an unlikelyhood of bad surprises.
