Huge help! Thanks! I've been messaging place out here trying to find someone to help me out with no luck. I will have to give him a call once I get everything figured out :)
I agree (about knowing what to do not the latter)! The only things I know I want to change so far is to remove some clutter up front. My front handle bars have a little rust on them and the speedometer glass was cracked so I might just simplify the front end a little first but keep everything...
I was hooked to BMWs when I got my first 3 series car and then my GF's dad raced motorcycles and was a fanatic of BMW.. so the brand might have me as a loyal customer for life :)
I read about the exhaust and rejetting the other day and it was what made me hold off on the order. I always figured there wasn't much of a difference it was just the exhaust being pushed out through the pipes but I need some time to learn the bike before doing anything. Thanks for the link...
Gorgeous! Love the paint job and seat. I wanted to do a seat like that but I figure the added convenience of being able to throw a lady or friend on the back in the city is always a nice bonus.
Thanks guys! All great feedback to hear. I have had the bike for around 8 months now and I've put a little over 2,000 miles on it without a hitch (Except the old battery needing to be replaced). I'm in no hurry to change anything so for now I am just enjoying the beast and about to plan a trip...
1983 BMW R65. Pretty recent purchase and I'm a total amateur when it comes to bikes but plan on doing a full cafe resto over time. Might take a while ;D I have to start the learning process somewhere but it's overwhelming with all the different bikes out there/options.
So far I love the front end work! I was thinking about doing that with my bike but don't know how to find the right front end that fits. Can't wait to see the rest of the project. You make it look so easy haha ;)
