This bike was acquired in February 2017.  It’s a non-numbers matching R69S.  It was just too hard to resist this /2 sporting Karl Heinrich’s finest.  Yes, that’s a 10+ gallon “all day” tank.

 

While this cafe style was quite aesthetically pleasing for some, it wasn’t our cup of tea.  In the Winter of 2019 it was decided to bring it back to original looks.  the low bars were replaced by traditional ones, a correct tank was sourced as was a correct bench seat.  Some leaks and weeps were fixed, resealed and what we have now is a nice stock R69S.

Some prolonged “test rides” were done to confirm that all is well and it is indeed a very nice running bike.
