< BACK TO MISCELLANEOUS Gläser Fairings Gläser factory docs 1/1 Gläser - Nürburg 1/1 Internet found pics 1/1 Gläser - Type TSL/5 1/1 Gläser - Type TS 1/1 Gläser - Sport Type II 1/1 Gläser - Nürburg 1/1 From a 2013 on-line advert: "The odometer reads 67210 km/approx. 41762 mile and like should both the frame- and enginenumbers are matching, it has been manufactured in August 1974, but was first road-registered in January 1975. On the bike are still all the German police-spec components fitted, like the very special "Gläser" (http://www.flyingtpot.com/glaser%20fairings.htm ) police fairing, "Bosch" radio-unit, blue-colored alternating "Bosch" flash-lights, dual tone alternating "Hella" police-horns and a pair of original leather BMW police side cases. Furthermore, in order to protect the public, it also has the original police half-closed model BMW front fender fitted and special heat-shields on the header-pipes. Basically this bike is a standard R60/6, so normal frame, forks, engine, gearbox etc., but received, apart from all the police-equipment, several refinements like Koni heavy-duty rear shocks, forged cooling on the front-brake (by an air-scoop, never seen this before!), calibrated speedo and a different (slightly shorter) ratio on the rear-drive. In one of the side-cases I've found an original police-officers belt cpl. with gun-holster, which item I've of course have put back where it was.. Because of legal reasons the connector of the main radio-unit is taken off and the connecting-cable between the radio-unit and remote-control on the fuel-tank has been removed, where for this same reason the optical and acoustical police-signals have been disabled (by a removed twist-in type fuse* which is positioned in the lh inner fairing panel). Both the alternating (Very loud!) horns and -blue flash-lights work fine when the fuse* is back in again (*comes with the bike). The original BMW radio-box on the rear is fitted with only four bolts and can be taken off (and back on) in just little time (see photo). It is in the green/white color pattern for reason that the German government ordered all German police-vehicles to be in this very recognizable color-pattern from the first of January 1975 on. -On this listing I'm offering a special custom-made (fully sealed) m'cycle crate, careful packing and shipping from here in Belgium to a State warehouse of the shipping-company close to you at my expense. Also, when you provide me your zip-code, I can ask for a price to have it delivered to your door (which extra charge, depending on distance can be nil to be very modest). Please note; In case the bike needs to be shipped to another destination, please ask whether I can offer you such a deal as well before placing a bid. Furthermore, when you want to receive some better photo's of the bike/shipping, or want to recieve more information about this item, just let me know. When you think that you recognize this machine, I've sold an exact similar bike on eBay about six weeks ago and since then I've succeeded to persuade the collector where it came from to also sell me his remaining police R60/6 (which is this one) along with his very nice ex Amsterdam-police black 1973 R60/5." 1/1

Shown below are custom R69/R69S and R50/R60 valve guides. Valve seats: Hi-Chrome SAE10b/5 globular perlite and tempered martensite with a uniform dispersion of chromium carbides. German sourced valves, springs, collars and retainers. Alternative German or Swiss high quality replacement parts are used when applicable. Process Heads are inspected, disassembled, hot tank cleaned and again inspected. The heads are media blasted. All critical dimensions and components are again inspected. Valves are ground (as required) on a Kwik-Way valve grinder which has a spindle chuck TIR at .0005" (.013mm) or less. Valve bores (ID & OD) are machined using a precision Sunnen honing machine and tooling. Seats features (both OD and valve interface angles) are processed with all carbide tooling as applicable ona Rottler SG7 machine Heads are processed in a commercial ultrasonic cleaner and assembled Post-70 BMW Heads Materials German sourced standard, first and second overize guides.

< BACK TO RESTORATION 6V to 12V Conversion Modification This conversion uses the larger 107mm diameter mid-70's and up BMW Airhead Bosch stator and rotor. Details: The Bosch charging components can be used from any Airhead which has the 107mm diameter stator. The seal feature of the rotor is removed by turning in a lathe. The stator is modified so that the earthed brush is converted to an insulated (unearthed) design. (Reference the two pics from below) The front engine cover is modified to accept a stainless steel adapter ring and stator. Three M5 tapped holes are made on the cover. Depending on the cover used, one or two TIG weld bosses are added to the cover to allow the ability to tap all three M5 tapped holes. The rear housing section of a Delco Remy 10si alternator is modified. It is mounted to the main frame. (Reference the pic from below) The stock wiring harness is modified from its point on the frame to where the generator system previously was located. Advantages of this system: It is a robust, efficient and high quality conversion. Higher wattage output, 280W vs 200W, than other systems. All components are always readily available. Excellent low RPM (<2000) charging capability. All solidstate regulating componentry. Services currently provided for this 12V conversion: Front engine cover modifications. This includes the welding and tapping as required. Charging component regulating bracket with ele ctrics assembly. Contact FTP Engineering LLC for additional details. 1/1
