Re: another background question about r60/5
After spending way too many years working on British bikes, I feel like I'm starting all over with this thing.

Re: another background question about r60/5
You can see the valve covers on my R 75/5 in my photo to the right. I'm pretty sure the R 60/5s had identical valve covers. The valve covers on my R 60/7 are in the photo below. It could be that someone put the later model valve covers on your bike.

Re: another background question about r60/5
Yes, but it is apparent that the casting is the same on my /7 as your /7. Mine are painted or anodized black while yours are polished aluminum. The castings are different on my /5 (and also my /6 - not shown). I'm pretty sure the unpolished cast aluminum covers - I think you're calling peanut shape - were standard on the /5s.

Re: another background question about r60/5
I have Dynatek D35-1 electronic ignition on both my R 75/5 and my R 60/7, (not yet on my R90/6 w/sidecar). It was kind of a pain to get the magnet in just the right position, and a couple of times the magnet came loose when speed shifting at high RPM. Fortunately I don't do that very often. But once set-up it seems to work very well.
