I believe the fairing is a early Parabellum based on the front vent and the rubber attachment knobs, but there is nothing stamped on the rairing to confirm this.
A good Airhead riding friend has his 60/5 engine in my shed being rebuilt, It had traveled over 1,000,000 kilometers and spun a big end bearing.
His 'Other' bike is a R80 Mono, which was bought as a ride when the /5 issue arrived. Not as good at the /5, it was his daily ride. He is a Pastor of a church and works in a disadvantaged area. Some adolescent kids decided to steal his bike, and a week later one of the kids mums told him "to get rid of the bike, Burnt it, I dont care just get rid of it"
Below is the result, so over Christmas I will be having some fun
I know it probably isnt worth fixing, but I like a challenge
