Anyone Seen Seat Like This ???
« on: March 30, 2014, 02:36:19 PM »
'81 R65 for sale locally to me .

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/mcy/4397964196.html

Never seen a seat like this before, looks like it may be off of another early BMW bike, but I really don't know myself .

Bike had been on Craigslist on and off since June last year, price is down from $4200 .

Yes I had something similar made for my R65 a year or two ago.  This sort of thing is getting trendy with the posh arty types.....And me.  Sprout a set of trail type handlebars and you will be away part of the Brat/bobber scene.

Do not be afraid.
