BMW Fairing On A 79 R65?

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

O.K., I have a link, but before you get too excited, I have heard some talk that Gustafsson Plastics can be less than reliable on shipping.....
BUT!  They have what you may be looking for....

Type in 'Shoei FM 2/3' in the search field.  They have several heights to choose from.  You have to drill your own holes!


For the leg shields, go to German eBay and search for 'Heinrich Beinschilder'.

There are two sets listed right now (but one ends in 2 hours...).  Both say delivery to Germany.  You will need to write to the seller and see if he would be willing to ship to the USA.  They usually think the shipping is outrageous (30 Euros?), but for an American hungry for European exotica, I've found it to be no big deal.

Transferring funds can be a major hurdle, if they don't use PayPal or they are not used to dealing with international currency.  

When you write to them, do not use an internet translator, it will make you look foolish, or perhaps, even as a spammer?  More than likely, they speak English, so that won't be a problem.

You can put the URL's from the individual auctions in Google Translate and it will give you a fair idea of what they are saying.


Good luck!


P.S.  I think this should be a thread all it's own.  Do you mind if I split it off, and you can edit your first post's Subject line?

Motorworks has 'S' fairings and different screens. The link shows the screens - click on the first picture.

Unfortunately, they don't ship to the USA.

I've had excellent service from Gustafson Plastics but I am also only about 45 minutes away. If you decide to go that route let me know I will be glad to pick up and ship whatever you need.


Here are a couple of links to fairing vendors I have had dealings with in the past. Airtech has top notch products but they are not bolt on out of the box. You will have to mount them yourself. Its not that difficult and they make a BMW "S" fairing with either a large or smaller headlight opening.

Sorry - my bad! I do remember now that I saw a post earlier alluding to this - think it may have been in reply to a Darwin John post. Hell, boys and girls, that is why we have members in different countries!

Thanks to all for all the good information. I'm printing this for my "wish" file.

I've got my priorities set out in order:

1.  New tires, with smaller (110X90) rear in hopes of lowering it somewhat;

2.  Shorter Hagon shocks (if further lowering is desirable);

3.  Stainless mesh brake lines;

4.  Taller wind screen/sport fairing.

But I'm inhibited by being under pain of significant pain if mi esposa doesn't get the next shot at filling an order from her wish file. I suppose that's fair. [Sigh]
