new R65LS owner

Hello everyone, As of this evening, I am the new owner of a 1983 R65LS in pretty good condition. Other than missing battery covers (the owner gave me replacement ones that just need to be paint matched) and some rust on the exhaust pipes, it is in very good condition. Two questions so far ... the st...

Ebay turn signal from Bluemoonscooter

I finally got my turn signal installed, I am quite disappointed at the brightness of the turn signal. It is useless, no one can see those lights in the day. the light bulb says 12V 5W. I wonder if any one changed to brighter LED bulbs? I saw some 31mm LED bulbs but they are rated at at 8V+.

Antipodean Suppliers

Hi there,

I'm thinking pretty seriously about an R60 or R69S and am wondering about the availability of parts in Australia?

Is there a recommended BMW specialist or wrecker in Sydney? (I'm from Newcastle, NSW)

Thanks.

considering purchace of R60

Are there any issues that I should consider re: a 1958 BMW R60?

Is there anything that went on with the early models that I should be thinking about before I commit?
