1965 BMW R60/2 Restoration. Sunday, February 24, 2008. A master mechanic that I met awhile back made a very astute statement that has always stuck with me:. The internet has a lot of information, some of it good - most much of it questionable – do your research wisely…. The internet has been an amazing tool in leaning about restorations as well as locating parts – especially for my project. However, his point is well taken; Do your research but question everything you learn on the web. Internet BMW Rider...

1965 BMW R60/2 Restoration: Reinstallation of Parts Begins
http://bmw-r60.blogspot.com/2008/03/reinstallation-of-parts-begins.html
1965 BMW R60/2 Restoration. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Reinstallation of Parts Begins. Its a really good feeling when you reach the point when you stop taking parts off the bike and start putting them back on again. This weekend we hit that point. If I had all the time and money I needed (both of which are in short demand), I would have torn the bike down to the chassis and rebuilt it from the ground up. This will happen in my lifetime but for now I'm eager to start the new riding season that's upon us.

http://bmw-r60.blogspot.com/2007/10/dealing-with-faulty-coil.html
1965 BMW R60/2 Restoration. Saturday, October 6, 2007. Dealing with a Faulty Coil. Out for a ride on a beautiful October weeend. Up and over the Hawks Nest in NY State when we come into Port Jervis and the R60 started loosing power and eventually cut out. It hiccuped once before we got to town but I just assumed it was a fuel problem. That wasn't the case. After letting it cool down a bit, the bike started again which indicated the coil was going bad.

1965 BMW R60/2 Restoration: I think I killed my horn
http://bmw-r60.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-think-i-killed-my-horn.html
1965 BMW R60/2 Restoration. Monday, March 31, 2008. I think I killed my horn. Chassis - Horn Installation. After painstakingly refinishing the original horn I'm sorry to say I think I made a huge mistake. Prior to installing the horn assembly back on to the bike, I wanted to make sure it was operating properly. I attached the contacts directly to the 6V battery. After a few squeaks from the unit it sounds no more! I have a feeling though that this isn't. After you're sure it's all clean, put the horn bac...
