Let me just say that I have a set of R75/5 engine cover badges as spares now.
I ride with a bunch of guys with old (60s / 70s) BSAs and Triumphs. Every how and then a new guy (Brit bike ) shows up and I sometimes engage in an impromptu top end contest. Most know what the R50 means, but don't know enough to question why it has CV Bings on it or where the kick start went. Imagine their surprise when that 500cc Beemer pulls away from their 650cc on top end (I'm running the 2.91 rear, with a five speed).
Some eventually find out, others go away with a new respect for Beemers .
Picture was taken last fall on RT309 while at the Black Diamond Rally in Pa.

So, is this a new addition? (Looks PERFECT!) I really loved the "72 R75/5" thread a while back.
Yes, 3 Airheads at the house 2 bikes and the wife. She amazes me everyday. She still can't talk without waving her arms around like she's on fire. I knew she was french when we met but I thought she would grow out of the arm waving thing.

phil, I just love the look of the knee pads on the small tank. Nicely done.
Thanks,I liked those myself. I haven't seen to many of the pads on the small tanks. I thought it would look a little different from all the others.

I bought the bike a couple months ago here on the Flea Market for $2500 (new Krauser bags included). The bike was located in Sebring Florida. This is a pic at the previous owners house before the rebuild.

I suggest that the resolution of your posted picture be on the order of 800x600 so that the whole picture can be seen on the screen. Much bigger and people will have to scroll left-right and up-down to see only pieces. See the picture a few posts up from here. It's really hard to see things that way.

1975 airhead
I have a new to me airhead. This is my first airhead and I think it will be a good bike for me. I have gone thru the bike over the last couple of months and have tuned, changed oils and filters, new tires, and steering damper. I thought I was done when I found oil leaking from the rubber collars on the push rod tubes. My question is how do I stop the leaks. Do I have to pull the heads? The rubber collars only leak on one side.
Thanks Rodney
