I don't recall that fairing but the Rifle fairing that Not-So-Fast-ED installed is one I really like. See if this lights yer candle

Here's their web site     http://rifle.com/Motorcycle/BMW/srchbike.cfm?&DID=9&BikeNo=6&Motorcycle=1982-BMW-R%2065-(R-65)

I've enjoyed mine so far, but need to get used to the buffeting.  Maybe adjust the windshield height.  A little taller, or shorter may be the trick.

i have a givi that is sporty looking but not full size, i am not using it and would be willing to sell it. if you look at my winter build thread toward the front couple of pages there is a pix of it on a R65.

If you are looking for proper protection against wind, rain, etc. - I think the Rifle "superbike fairing" (the blue one for $289.00 on the Rifle website) might be a bit too small.

A proper fairing really makes a big difference during long distance riding.  Since I installed the Vetter fairing on my Kawasaki, I really started enjoying long trips a lot more.

I am also thinking of getting a proper fairing for my R65 - the one on Eds bike really looks cool ......the weak value of the our Rand is making the price a bit steep though.

Absolutely too small for real protection Danie, but enough so I can still get a bit of a breeze during the "warmer" months in Georgia.
