12v Battery for R60
I am about to fit an MBz ignition and generator to my 1965 R60. Does anyone know of a 12v battery that will fit the stock battery carrier?

Hi Rognjac,
You may like to know I am working on a R69S fitted with an MBz unit. The bike runs well but is not as smooth at idle as one might like. Checking with the strobe light, the advance/retard unit operates over only a small range, i.e. it advances to the "F" mark correctly, but at idle is a long way off the "S" mark, making for slightly rough running. There appears no way to rectify the situation. Starting is not a problem, but the engine needs warming before riding off.
