R25/2 : colour and finishing of rims and magneto cover

Post by Ettore Lucchi »

Dear friend , I am restoring a 1952 R25/2 and I wish to known the coolur or finishing of rims and magneto cover .
Can anyone tell me for certain the colour of rims : cromed ? all black or silver gray with a black strip in the centre ?
And is magneto cover black in all R25/2 bikes or some bikes had the cover cromed ?
Many thanks in advance from Milan by Ettore

Hallo Ettore,
the 25/2 has silver gray with black rims, but the centre was silver(not only the centre, the silverpaint goes about 4mm(to each side) over the centre, the rest was black.
The dynamo cover was sometimes black and sometimes silver(not chromed).I don"t know exactly at what time, I think if you have the last version of the25/2( with chrom parts for fork and rear suspension) you have (better could) to paint it silver.
Greetings
Rolf
