Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Oilhead 259 Podcast: Beemer Boneyard
Q: How did Beemer Boneyard evolve from listing parts on forums to running a full business?
They moved from ad-hoc forum listings to a legitimate website and wholesale relationships, focusing on what they knew best (Oilheads and K-bikes), which allowed growth into a real business over several years.
Oilhead 259 Podcast: Drew Corl
Q: What engineering design part or design in the oilheads drives you crazy, and what design issues matter most to you?
The final drive is the Achilles heel of the oilhead, and upgrading the cam chain tensioner is crucial. Using 80-90 weight in the final drive improves reliability, and replacing the left-hand cam chain tensioner with the upgraded version prevents catastrophic engine damage.
Oilhead 259 Podcast: William Plam
Q: What are the major engineering changes between the late Airheads and the Oilheads?
The Oilhead introduced a completely redesigned engine with cams in the cylinder head, a chain drive, and oil-cooling pumps; a stressed-engine frame design replaced the cradle, new suspension like the telelever, wider wheels, and early use of ABS; eventually the 1100 evolved to the 1150 with a redesigned gearbox, two-spark engines, and the move to more integrated electronics with CAN bus.
