This bike has been built on an R60/2 frame from 1965 or '66 (VIN 629021) with an R90/6 motor from 1974 (VIN 4042362), though factory VIN codes date it to October 1973.
The bike comes equipped with a /5 headlight and instrumentation, low euro-style handlebars with /5 switches, electric start, Hella bar-end turn signals, a clock and thermometer, with additional LED running lights mounted to the Earles fork and controlled by a handlebar switch. A reproduction 8 US gallon Heinrich tank with silver striping and Monza-style chrome tank cap feed fuel through dual 32mm Bing carburetors with airbox-mounted choke. Dual 'cigar' exhaust has been custom-fit to the frame. Shifting is handled through a 4-speed transmission with a kick-starter. Fehling crash bars are mounted to the frame, along with a Pagusa driver's saddle and a Denfeld fender rack-mounted passenger seat. All body work is OEM /2, paint appears to be original. Some scuffing and surface rust on the frame and paint. The stock /2 center stand is still mounted to the frame.
The Ural sidecar attached to the bike includes a removable pivoting windshield, a rear rack and metal bumper, an extended step, a leather tonneau cover, a new tool roll, removable upholstery, a leather storage pouch, two removable 50 pound sandbags for weight distribution, as well as vinyl-upholstered seating and its own 12 volt accessory dash with an AC port and USB ports, including an on/off toggle switch. An LED running light is mounted below the sidecar's front signal. The rear rack on the sidecar mounts a spare tire with plenty of room for additional baggage, and houses a hinged and lockable trunk for the toolbag and cover, etc.
The chassis is attached to the Ural car with adjustable cross-bars engaging with the /2 frame gussets and the sidecar's subframe. Braking is handled by front and rear drum brakes -- an extension has been made to the rear brakes of the sidecar brake arm to engage simultaneously with any pressure applied to the bike's rear foot brake. Tires are standard sidecar tires, and have low-mileage and show very little wear.
Bike runs great and is ready to ride! Perfect for you and your dog to take a long weekend trip.
