This is my attempt for a /2 FAQ. Because I have restored a '58 R69, I'm very interested in these bikes, and still have vivid memories about all the problem area's. So I collected all the usefull information that I could get, asked around for more info, and put it all together. This is the result. Don't look too hard at all the grammatical errors, English is not my native tongue. But when you find any error, lie or misconception in the contents don't hesitate to flame ahead.
