Son of a &$^%&%!!!

That's a great deal if it's in good condition.  I'm not sure if they're still made or not, although the website seems to be live.  http://www.pichler.de/Pages/aerodyne.htm

Mine is completely busted up, after being knocked over in a parking lot, run into in a parking lot, rear ended, and wrecked... never even crossed my mine to look on ebay!

#&^%$!

I do love the way the R65 looks with the full fairing on for sure.

 Its in fair condition Matt,Anyway I'm going to repainted it.Plus i think i am going to reinforced with some kind of fiberglass cloth.
 How is the wind protection Matt?Some people said that its getting too hot during the summer
 P.S. There is one more on eBay (sold by pieces)E-mail the seller to give you a quote for the whole fairing.Only problem is it does not come with mounting brackets

The wind protection is great... now that it's cold (it was 40F here last night!!!) I wish I had mine installed.  My bike had some OEM bags, it looked great and was (is?) a great little sport tourer.  I have a picture or two, naturally they're in extremely inconvenient places..

I haven't had much trouble in the summer here, aside from the fact that it's 1 billion degrees out. Hot is hot with or without the fairing.

The weak spots I've noticed are around the mounting holes, and the front lower piece.  Dump your bike on the fairing a few times and those will be the first to go.

A little sport tourer - that's what i am trying to make.I have a original saddle bags.top box and tank bag.
  there is a option for strengthen the fairing.I can wrap it with a aluminum foil,which is kind of strong.Only problem is i don't know how is going to look a silver colored bike with aluminum fairing

I'm in my office today, so I managed to snag this off of my electronic picture frame.  And then couldn't figure out how to paste it into the post.

This would be my R65 a couple of months after I bought it... 2006ish.  Maybe 12000 miles..

We're up to 49xxx now!

Too bad it doesn't look like that any more..  Lots of wear and tear.

I'm only running the part of the fairing that has the headlight in it these days, not much difference in handling at all.
