Hi All-
I have recently purchased an ‘81 R65 with reltively low miles (38k) but needs plenty of work. The first item of business deals with the housing covering the instrumentation. It is cracked and in general poor condition. It seems this part for this particular model is hard to find. I have called and inquired with most of the major parts warehouses and cannot locate a replacement. I am hoping someone can offer some assistance including a possible source for this part, or perhaps suggest instrumentation from another model which would work for the model given the different forks and instrument mounting bracket.
I will also need to replace the fuel tank. Is it possible that a tank from a 1988-95 R100GS would fit my bike?
Thanks for any help you can provide!!
