Not seen any advertised but maybe a search of the Euro eBay might turn up something.

Never seen high level pipes for an R65 of any sort. Unless you count something like the R80st where they go down and under before coming up it's hard to see how it could be done without the pipes getting in the way.

I was thinking on the lines of  of the ones Kev Hill fits on his R80 and 100's "kevhills speed shop"

ive been looking into these, i'm in the process of drawing a design going under the tank out under the rear of the seat, probably through a ducati back box.

I think your best bet will be to have one welded, if you can wait a few months till i do mine i'll build a second pair

A company call Armours, in the UK (Bournemouth), used to do a 2 into 1 for the R80/R100.  They might be convince to do a version for the R65.  But you will have to convince them that there is a call for it.  I have bought all my silencers from them.

I am not sure that the waeight saving will outweigh the performance drop though........If you get my drift.  I would want to keep hot pipes as far away from me and the fuel tank as possible.

I would be looking at tucking them under the cylinders as tight as possible and keeping them short.

That sounds like the sort of thing I'm looking for I would be interested to see how yours looks

cool, give me a nudge if i haven't posted a pic in a week or two, it'll probably be a rough sketch but it'll give you an idea.

Are you modding the subframe on the bike?
as i'm not sure if a race can would fit under the stock seat, i'm building a whole different bike really......see here....  http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1360707787.....
