Someone is already starting to have some fun.

Is the bike as you bought it, or are you already starting to modify it?

Nice colour.

We cater for both the 'Modifiers' and the 'As Standard' schools of thought here.  Although you will find most bikes are modified to a greater or lesser degree.

Hi there - really nice looking bike - thanks for the pik .....

Welcome to the herd. You'll enjoy the SWB R65's handling.

Perhaps re-visit your upholstery shop and have them tune the front end of that new seat cover. May need some additional foam to bring it up to spec.

Do you have some type of splash shield in lieu of the rear fender? These Airheads have many ignition and electrical components under the fuel tank that will suffer when hosed.

Oh, I forgot the song... it never rains in California.  [smiley=thumbup.gif] Certainly raining in Texas today.

Update us as you become one with the machine. Resistance is futile.

The bike was stock red, it was fading so I decided to pint it a A22 a BMW auto color, and as for the rear fender was broken and signals changed those and painted the the valve cover with textured chip guard and the timing cover as well and the wheels just need to clean up the engine case. Super fun little bike

im working on the splash shield, haven't gone out in the rain with this bike yet. As for rain, it rains a bit in the Bay Area
