Hi all, I recently bought a 1966 R60/2 with a Steib Sidecar. Not new to old bikes but this is my first BMW. It appears the bike is original paint in very nice condition for a 37,000 mile bike. Some hardware, the second saddle, horn, oil pan and updated electrics are so far the items I know are not original to the bike.
The bike starts well and runs with no issues is really a solid reliable running machine so far. The motor had been gone thru about 6 years ago. With that the slingers cleaned with some internals and cylinders/heads done as well.
The sidecar is not original to the bike unless it was stored poorly and reattached at some point. I really do not know much about Steib Sidecars. Bad rattle can paint job and a bit of beat up trim but it is all there original in its own skin and no corrosion.
How can I find out any info about the SC? It has a rectangle Data Plate and possibly 2510 stamped into the frame next to it.
I know I will have lots of questions and will do the search engine often but sometime will probably need a bit of coaching.
