BMW Pakistan.

Hi there i am having my transmission rebuilt in Iran at the moment but the flying sparks, angle grinders and hammering not to mention some of the hand crafted parts are giving me some concerns. I have a freind meeting me fron Aus in Pakistan and i am thinking it may be a good idea for him to bring me a new tranny. Anyone know of any decent workshops in Lahore or Islamamabad?

Sorry the bike is 88 r100 gs.

Cheers

Hi there,

no BMW-workshop in Pakistan AFAIK, but I am in contact with a professor of an university in Lahore who supposedly is a BMW-Enthusiast.

I am only contact via phone and email so far, but will be in Lahore from friday to meet him (on my R 100 GS the driveshaft has to be replaced and maybe the the gearbox bearings as well). He told me that he has experience with BMW gearboxes.

Give me a mail to lars (at) ontheroad (dot) de; I will keep you updated.

Regards

Lars

I believe he had a driveshaft replaced on his R100GS in Pakistan last year, I think in Lahore. He should have some advice for you.

If you are just swapping the tranny then you can probably do it yourself, it's not that hard, except for the tools needed to remove the swingarm.

If all else fails the Mercedes Benz garage in Islamabad helped me straighten the frame on my CX500. They shouldn't have a problem swapping the tranny.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
