Hi folks! Just brought home my 1983 R65, purchased from the 2nd owner who had it 22 years. What a day - Shredded a trailer tire on the way to look at the bike, and when I called the seller to say I would be delayed to change the tire, he drove out to help - unasked! I took it as a good sign when he arrived with a complete set of tools in his car, and upon arrival at his property the garage / shop he had was organized and clean as a whistle. Test ride on bike was a dream, so I was hooked! He threw in Shoei bags with his custom made custom mounts.
As you can see, from the photo, no side cover R65 decals, though I read past posts that said the dealers installed them, or sometimes not. Does anyone have the dimensions of the decal letters so I can send them to one of the decal reproducers given in the past posts? Also, does anyone have info on how effective the S-style quarter fairings / other small fairings or windshields are in blocking the wind at speed, and recommendations on brand, mounting hardware, etc?
Thanks! Hope to meet some of you at the BMWOA gathering on Bloomsburg PA next month! Mike
