1986 BMW R65

History

Started life as a very unloved plastic-clad '86 R65.

Modifications

Stripped anything unnecessary and replaced everything with aluminium where possible - including hand-made aluminium tank and fairing (with Tasmanian oak lining), rearsets, hand controls and triple tree. Hand-carved Tasmanian oak seat/subframe (with custom tail lights), battery box cover, grips and wheel inlays. Custom headlight housing and speedo with colour-changing illumination for oil/neutral indication and Tasmanian oak inlaid face. All new wiring hooked up to a Bluetooth brain for keyless start. Custom stainless headers and mufflers. Upgraded brakes and SS braided hardware. Upgraded rear suspension. I think that's most of it. Then far too many hours polishing...
