Any links to color pictures of original R50/R69S?
Any links to color pictures of original R50/R69S?
The reason I'm asking is my '65 R69S which is an older restoration that has not been done with original parts everywhere.
For instance several nuts are stainless steel and some other fasteners are painted.
I'd like to go over the bike to make it more original again. Ideally there may be color pics with details of unrestored bikes, giving more info than in Roland Slabon's or Barrington's books.
There was a topic with pics of an original bike in this forum but the links to the pictures don't work anymore.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

and made a few changes principally to update the references to Jeff Dean's website.
Allan Atherton had a website that is now unreachable, so his links don't work. There is one way to see some of what he had and that is with the Web Archive which is at http://web.archive.org/ . If you go to that address and search the root of Allan's URL - http://home.insightbb.com/~aatherton/ - you will find snapshots of his website going back in time. Poke around there and you'll find snapshots over various years and if you're lucky, clicking on one of them might take you to an archived website where you can see some pictures. It's not complete and the archive might not be around forever, but it's something for now.

Second, I have an all original 1966 R50/2 with 2,000 original miles on it. I have taken a slew of pictures and would be happy to share.
I will need to make them smaller to post here or can email large ones if you are interested. Private message me your email.

Thanks Dave, went through the exercise with my R12 - took 3 years and studying in the old DIN booklets. With the /2s it's a bit easier because the pictures of original bikes are not all black and white

Hello James, it looks like something went wrong sending you a PM so I've tried again today. Can you let me know please if the message received you? Thanks, Peter
