Title: New user in Dorset, Englan
Post by: BFG on September 05, 2025, 03:21:26 PM

Hi all,

Thank you to the members who have posted the useful ignition and valve clearance information from when I found this site.

I am a retired bloke, based in Dorset with a couple of BMWs
R65 as in the picture only 21,000 miles on her
R1150R Red, 65k, but shiny, which is my “working tool”

The R65 was recently acquired from a mate of mine who has owned her for 35+ years.

I am going through sorting out various minor issues but would like to fit high RT or similar bars. If anyone has any of the following spares I would be interestedly

Long throttle upper cable, or better complete three cable setup
Upper choke cable
Brake hose
Clutch cable
RT or ST bars.

Also some panniers would be nice

Can travel  :)

I'm sure you already know about Motorworks and Motobins and my first stop would be to call Motorworks and see what they have in the way of second hand bits and bobs.
