Probably, but don't hold me to it.
They do indeed look like R65 engine guards though.

Scrub them off a bit, shoot them a nice flat black, and go [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

If I'm not mistaken, the fixation part of the BMW crash bars are all the same. The difference is the length. As the R45 and R65 have a shorter barrel than the other bikes, the crash bars have to be shorter otherwise they will protrude too much outside.
