[#3299]

Just rejoined this week after buying a '72 R60/5. Looking around on the web in the hope of finding a guide that suggests all the things one should check and or service on these wonderful machines to make certain all is as it should be. There is a lot of very good, detailed how to articles, just have not found what I am looking for in one place. Any pointers ?

Thanks

I think this is the article you are looking for from Skibum a.k.a. Mike Buhler.

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
