Time to Play 'What Parts are Missing?' 1968 R60US
I'd like to start sourcing parts so I thought I would ask you more knowledgeable types to play 'What Parts are Missing? or broken or wrong...
Short list so far I see are:
- New speedo glass and bezel (ordered, guess I will have to get hole drilled for trip odometer)
- Hella bar end lights (maybe not original to this bike but I want to live)
- white tool box lid? it looks old but I've never seen one not color matched to the tank. thoughts?
- Finned exhaust nuts
What else do you all (not) see? Thanks - Tobias in Annapolis, MD

Oh, and "finned exhausts" by which I think you mean the exhaust nut with the fins around that circumference, that was a R69S feature only. I believe there are "slip-ons" that could be used, but the R50/2 and R60/2 didn't come with those.

It wasn't a "must" but thought it would be neat if I could find one of the handful of not-black painted bikes out there. Of course the same week, an absolutely gorgeous unrestored and fully operational R60/2 (also in Dover white) came up for sale on FB Marketplace and sold the same day for $11k just 40 miles from my house. I haven't even seen an unrestored non-black bike for sale at any price anywhere in over a year then 2 the same week??
We'll see how much I end up having to sink into "Betty White" the Beemer. I don't so much care if I over-invest, I like challenge but also have to be cognizant of my time and hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
