Hello Everyone!
Did a search on the net and ended up here. I am a 56 year young (not old) man and after a 35 year layoff I once again have a BMW R series. My original beemer was a 70 (or 71) R60 as memory recalls. It was a beautiful bike and I wish I would never had sold it. ah well.
Anyway, I now have a 1982 R65 with a little over 40k on the clock. It has a couple of issues I'd like to ask for help and/or opinions on.
1. - the left cylinder has a couple of bent fins - I've been told to leave them alone because they will break if an attempt is made to bend them back.
2. Bags - Any easy way to realign the two halves of bags so they'll close easily? - I've got one that's impossible to close.
Also - Any good parts sources out there?
And finally...
What started me back on the saddle of a motorcycle was a 1999 Fatboy which I enjoy immensely as well - so let the razzing begin
-Ralph...
