Introduction

Post by rusty sprocket »

Hi, I am not sure if I am in the correct section of the forum, but I am new to the site. I just purchased my first BMW a 1962 R60/2
Pictures will be coming! It is all original but been sitting in storage for 20 years. One question I have already is will 7/8 bars work in place of the 22mm or can you all direct me to a place to find 22mm bars? It currently has some pretty tall bars and I will be looking to change out with lower profile bars. Thanks!

Welcome! Get the right bars. The controls won't fit and there's the possibility you'll crack them if you try and use them on the larger bars.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to change your alias to "rusty bevel" or "rusty shaft" ? :D
