Title: R65LS windshield
Post by: wmsoller on March 06, 2012, 07:58:00 AM

Any body have a windshield on their R65LS? I'd like to see some pics of options? Thanks.

IF you want to keep the small wedge fairing on there, your options are pretty limited.  Suecanada has one on her bike - she may chime in her at some point - unfortunately I cannot recall the model at this time..

Parabellum (parabellum.com) used to make a special unit specifically for the R65LS, but, that was decades ago, and they don't appear to list it anymore - but, possibly one of their "sport shield" models for  BMW airheads might be adapated to fit.

Gustafsson plastic windscreen  lists the R65 ls screens on page 11 of their BMW catalog. Best regards John

Thanks John!  I've bookmarked that page!  The "Manxman" small S-style sport fairing on there would also look good on a "naked" R65, too.

Just this week I saw an Ebay sale of NOS Parabellum windscreens for the R65LS... "designed to mount with no drilling to original mini-fairing." It said that they might have small scratches from just being on the shelf, but were new. And now I can't find the listing anywhere.

Thanks all. I looked online and see there are options from both parabellum and gustafson. Anybody have any experience with either option? Any advice? Any pics?

Hi SueCanada:

I've heard via the forum you have a windshield on you 65LS? How is it? What brand? Thanks.

The Spitfire thumbnail wind screen looks good and works very well.  Not to large for the R65 and actually offer protection unlike some of the bikini fairings.  Usually under $100.00 NIB.

It works with the LS pod?

Remember the clear round "shield".  Awful areo effects.
