I'm sure the "purists" will scoff at this :roll: but I just installed a set of Hoske sport mufflers on my 63 R60/2 and removed the baffles. I absolutely love the sound!! My question is do I need to rejet my carbs or just adjust them if so any tricks or tips? Any thoughts? http://www.youtub...

Timing
I'm in the process of rebuilding my R60 engine. I have the Ed Korn videos and the Barrington restoration manual. I'm to the part of installing the magneto. The video says to turn the flywheel to the OT mark and the manual says the S mark. Which is correct?

It was starting to get a little noisy and sure enough after pulling it apart the slingers were full and the crank had some play. I figured since I had it apart i would go ahead and do the whole shabang.

Am I wasting my time and money??
Last year I purchased a 1963 R50/2 with a 1958 R60 engine for $3500. The bike was all original (except the engine of course) fully functional and running. I was told that the aluminum wheels and tank emblems where original and kinda rare. Plus it has a signed service sticker from Floyd "Pop&quo...
