The R65 is finally done

[MPKaier]

The knee pads came out J&P cycle catalog.  The backs are coated with double sided adhesive.  I'm sure if I remove them the paint will be messed up, so once I decided to put them on, I was committed.  I would have preferred a little better shape, but that's all I could find that would fit the area.  Thanks for the nice comments.    Mike

First rate!!! It's gotta turn heads.

Mike, you really did do a helluva job on this bike, no ifs, ands or buts.

I could easily see a looooong career in BMW restoration/"enhancement" ahead of you, if you're interested.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Lovely, unique R65 Mike.  The two tone was exceptionally well done.
What part of Delaware are you in?  Can you ride it year round there?

I'm in northern Delaware.  I do ride year round except January & February, It's generally pretty bad weather then.

Mike,

I am interested in getting some of those LED lights.  Do you have the seller's name on eBay?

[Semper Gumby]

Yeah I'm interested too.  If you mounted them off the calipers it would be a poor man's motolights!!

Love those lights, and the heat/stone shields.

Not to hijack the thread - does anyone else use teh heat sheilds, or exhaust wrap so they can stretc their legs out over the cylinders or crash bars on a freeway stretch?

I don't do it often, but whe nI have jsut to stretch, I nearly melt my heels off.
Curious what anyone else does.

I have used these on airheads before, they are made in Germany, the same company that makes most of BMW factory kneepads these days, CSS
