1983 BMW R100RS/RT Install Transmission And Handlebar Perches, Switches & Cables

I installed the transmission in the frame, mounted it to the engine block, connected it to the drive shaft, assembled the clutch throw-out mechanism, attached the speedometer cable, the neutral switch wiring and the foot shift.

I also installed the handlebars, perches, switch assemblies and routed the cables. Since I am converting the RS to and RT configuration, the switch wiring and cables are RT length.

You can read about how I do this work here:

I also made a video summarizing the transmission installation.
