Quote: I have 1982 BMW R65 and I was interested in installing RS or RT fairing on it. Has anybody tried to do this? Also there was a company named "Motor-Sport Enterprises, Inc." which made a replica of RS fairing at half the price of the original. Where are they?


	--Thaddeus Konar

The R-65 is available in Europe with an RT fairing.  Your BMW dealer
can sell you a copy of the R-65 illustrated parts breakdown book,
which shows all part numbers, etc., and you can order the complete
fairing (in factory paint colors or primer), or you can order
individual components.  It is expen$ive!  If you prefer the RS fairing
(as I do), the primary difference between the two fairings is the
upper section; the same mounting hardware is used.  You may have to
relocate the instrument cluster slightly, and the RS fairing may
require short (RS type) handlebars.

I understand, from talking to people who have them, that the
Motor-Sport Enterprises imitation is of much lower quality than the
BMW factory fairings, and the mounting system is rather flimsy.

If you're not already a member, I'd suggest that you join BMW
Motorcycle Owners of America.  Their monthly magazine carries many
ads for used parts -- you should be able to locate a used RS or RT
fairing there, or they will publish "I want to buy a ..." ads at
no charge for members.
