Mike Haven left 5united when his interest in motorcycles and running a business consumed him. A glutton for punishment, he opened a motorcycle shop in Houston. In addition to servicing /5s and other BMWs, he sells Moto-Guzzi and MuZ motorcycles. He also has NOS (new old stock) BMW parts. You'll like him.

Craig "Vech" Vechorik is well-known in BMW circles for his vintage restorations. He also sells the "E-Z Clutch." This product makes the clutch easier to work on a /5 (or other BMWs). It's quite possible that you can't restore a pre-/5 BMW without talking to Vech. Should you stray down the dark path (the one without oil pumps), you need to know about Vech.
