R65 project dirt bike

[brfoster]

Have just bought an '82 R65 twin-shock for a dirt bike project.

Thought I would post this here for any constructive criticism. Or a few laughs

We do love a build thread, so crack on

This is my last one. Had been sitting idle in a shed for 7-8 years.

And the one before!

Really like the white one, I hope the current one came cheap.

Looking at it I would say a couple of Acerbis guards and the jobs nearly done...

Might take a bit more than that!

Thanks I was working in Germany for a year and bought it from one of the senior mechanics of Frankfurt BMW Motoraad
He had it for years and loved it but wanted a change to a 1200 GSA

Looks like you live on a very steep hill there.

Well spotted sir
The house is about 10M above road level

I can see from the special red painted parts that he put some TLC into it. Nice looking bike, hope to see it in the flesh some time at some event or other.

Yeah I would like to get some events this year but it's not easy though
I'm not getting any chance to ride my bikes so I'm not holding out much on big rides this coming year

I'm down sizing my bike collection by 3 bikes and still won't have time to get out
