Very nice!
The LS has been a labor of love, it is in really good shape, 17K. All stock except for the exhaust canisters. Success of this LS is directly linked to the advice of many of the members of this forum!!!!!

That's a sweeeeeet looking R60, how many miles and when did it get a paint job?

Thanks!
~77k miles when purchased, original paint as far as I can tell.
Going to have the engine checked top to bottom and then start with a restoration / refresh from there. Already a BLAST to ride!
Sorry to burst your optimistic bubble, but that's not original paint. There should be decals on the battery covers and there should be pinstriping on the tank and fenders.
My '74 R60/6, large tank, now with 109,000 miles.

[QUOTE=boster12;816316]Just bought this "project" 1974 R90S. It has a lot of period correct options, (the biggest gas tank I've ever seen, Avon Lynx 4 piece fairing, fallert oil sump, solo and dual seats, lester mag wheels, etc. Not sure, but thinking i will take all that stuff off and take it back to a silver smoke R90S. More once I decide.[/QUOTE]
I'm probably not the first in line, but I PM'ed you about this.

Ah, another [I]dreaded[/I] '74.. Nice! My R60 has 81xxx miles, just got it back on the road after a 14 year nap.
Mine has a "weird" sidestand post. Different than my '74 R75 and R90, for sure. Do you have a picture of yours?

I sent you a PM.
I bought this bike three years ago with a big ole Luftmeister fairing on it and a funky faded red paint job. It languished in the corner of the garage while I worked on other projects. I sold my cafe airhead, but I think this will be a good replacement.
1977 r100rs, 18k original miles, recently completely gone through: carbs rebuilt by Bing, new tires, front brakes, points, plugs, condensor, coils, prt seals, etc.

[QUOTE=boster12;817451]Is there anyway you could try to verify if this is your friends old bike? Really don't have any history on the bike, rumored to have in excess of 300M miles.[/QUOTE]
I moved a way from Santa Cruz almost 12 years ago and he had not ridden the bike in many years prior to that. Does the bike have gold colored clip ons?
Now the fun begins. Found a Velorex Sidecar I'm going to attach. Bike hadn't been started in a couple of years. Got in running in a couple of hours.
