'55 R69 on Ebay
'55 R69 on Ebay
I'd be all over that if I didn't have two already.
BTW, just picked up a '54 Steib S501 to mate with my '51 R67 project. Happy days ahead

Re: '55 R69 on Ebay
Is it possible that Buttler & Smith change them after they imported them from Germany

Thanks DaveDaves79x wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 1:05 pmNot likely B&S changed them. They were imported with the small tail light (two different styles) up until sometime in '57, I think. Rare to find one still on those bikes. If it has a coffee can and you think it had an Eber, just look under the can and see if there is a smaller, three-hole pattern for the Eber mount. None of the holes line up with the coffee can mounting, so it's easy to tell. Ebers are available, but you have to weld shut the coffee can holes and repaint the fender. I've got two with the Eber, a '55 R69 and a '56 R69.

Good info
Dont recall any extra holes on my 55 r50 when it was repainted 20 years ago so may have been filled when the original was replaced with the newer coffee can tailight
