I understand that an internal reverse-gear can be added to the BMW bike gearboxes (separate units), but I'm struggling to find a company to do the biz.




From another forum...

... change the gear clusters and add an internal jack-gear. Essentially turning first gear into reverse with an electrical lockout on the shifting cam to keep from accidentally shifting from second (now first) directly into reverse...


This company n Germany are apparently the specialists, but I can't get a reply from them





Can anyone recommend a company on these shores that would be up for this kind of job?

Cheers!

No knowledge what so ever from personal experience but I would start on a BMW bike forum and ask if any sidecar guys have done it.

In a thread at http://www.suckindiesel.com/thingy/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=270 by oilburner » Sat Sep 08, 2007 8:59 am "It's unfortunate Wolfgang Kayser in Germany retired."

Possibly no-one took the company on.

Please let us know if you have any luck with this reverse gear project, I can think of some people who would be interested.

I just found an exchange box with reverse HERE Not exactly Locost though.

The gold Wing uses the starter mOtor. Have a look at how these work, it might be easy to modify the BMW to do the same.
