I just picked up what is essentially a "barn find", but was stored well. I had the pictures long enough to notice some conflicting details. Motor and Frame tag number match (and show to be to an R50/2), but it has two fin valve covers like an R50S, R69 or R69S, and also has the "bumped" front cover like an R69. PO says it was sold to him as an "RS50", but was told it had "600 heads". It DOES look like an R50S, but I think what I have is an R50/2 with R69 0r R69S heads and valve covers. Further dis-assembly is coming so I will be able to get a P/N off the crank. Far as I can tell, it is only missing mufflers and the handlebars. So I have my winter project. Not even going to consider any other course of action than taking the motor down for slinger clean/inspect. It will eventually get a frame-up resto.
