Do R65 side covers interchange with any others?

According to the RealOEM.com parts site, the battery covers are R65 specific .

If you're shopping for side panels, eBay will be your best resource. Although some dealers list them in their catalogs, when you call to order it's, "Well, these are on back order from das Fatherland for a few years."

I'bre bought new sidecovers in the past year or two - but I Can't recall if I bought them from Capitalcycle or from MaxBMW - I think it was Capital.

Anyhow, they come in primer gray only and I didn't have to wait long.

And when you get them don't forget to cable-tie them on, they do tend to fly off otherwise as it sounds like you may have already discovered.

Anything will fit if you use enough force and cable ties.
