Using a good 6 volt battery, attach + & - leads to the studs and then slowly turn the adjusting bolt in and out until you get sound then fine turn it. You can also do the adjusting with an ohm meter similar to adjusting the static timing on the motor, its a lot quieter.

There is a "Dover White" and a "Feather White" color available for the pre /2 and post /2 bikes. "Dover White" appeared on some R 69 bikes through the years and "Feather White" was an Authority color like Police or Military use. They are two very distinct and ...

Are the OEM cable ties available somewhere? I have a number of Airhead restoration projects and would like to get my hands on bunch as it would be helpful to have a source for them.

I would assume from your narrative the R 60/2 has been sitting for a while. If that's the case you might just have get it out and ride a little to loosen up the bond between the clutch disc and the pressure plate. My R 60US sat for a while and it was so stuck I ended up pulling the transmission just...

That's a dual wide seat frame and spring set up and may not be the same as the standard dual seat. At some point the reproduction seat that is available and very expensive may be an option.

I have used JB weld on the last few resurrections / restorations. You just have to be careful and satisfied with the fit.

Buy it and educate yourself on how to repair and maintain or if needed restore the bike. The R 69US is a very rare, end of the /2 and limited production model.
