Complete List of r65 Factory Accessories

[scbroadcaster]

I looked through the forum and couldn't find it. I'm sure you've all done this before, but I was wondering if anyone could give me a complete list of BMW factory accessories for 79-84 r65's?

dav,
That's a fun one isn't it?!  I still have my original brochures when I bought my /7 in 78.  Something magical about that time.

I don't think that site has this brochure on it that shows the accessories for the R65.  I scanned the pertinent pages: http://www.pbase.com/tomfarr/scans_of_brochure

It does not show the R45/R65 mini-fairing, but it does mention it on the last page.

That mini-fairing was specific to the R65 and was similar to the classic "S" but with flat more angular sides.

Now I again have an R65 & am dying to find another one -- I think they have become extinct.

Since I'm a new member, I can't post a photo of mine from 1980 yet. But I will do it soon.

Here are some pictures, for those so inclined.  I don't remember where I got them.

The original brochure and accessories brochure came with my bike when I bought it.  

I also still have the original brochure for the Z900 I bought new in 1976 so even though I don't have the bike I can still dream.

One of the most unique and coolest looking fairing piece ever.

Another way of BMW saying it was only for looks.

Hey Splinter,

I think the fairings are still available from BMW.  Part #46631240822.  It's still listed in Max BMW's part fiche anyway. [smiley=bmw_smiley.gif]

Yep - Chicago lists it, too.  $220.  $176 with their 20% discount.  And a significant waiting period.

I would call the BMW breakers in the U.S. and see if they happen to have one.

Those cowls/fairings appear to be more similar to the ones that came on the "st" models. the one I am referring to is shown in the Gustafsson online catalog as a "Manxman"  and the Gustafsson site shows a page from the same catalog I ordered mine from in 1979. But, Gustafsson only has the windscreen.
