Re: Hi fellas
Joan, welcome back! Are you still living up in WA? Still brewing? I'll have to head over to R65.org to see if you've checked back in there, too. Blueberry looks great. I'd want to ride an RS before I tried to convert my R65 to one. I don't think my Windjammer is pretty, but it's sure comfortable on a cold morning.

Is this the "Joan" from Ken's rally fame? Wow.
Ask the Indians what happens when you don't control immigration.
Re: Hi fellas
Ya, I've been loving the look of it since I saw Justin's version years ago over on R65 dot org. Then I got a chance to ride Ken's R100RS from Boise to Oklahoma... and that was it! The $600 parabellum fairing I'd installed on Blueberry was no longer my favorite weather accessory, even though it saved my life from a giant truck tire thrown rock on the Alaska Highway.SteveD wrote:Love the R65RS.

The RS fairing and slightly lower position really smooths out the R65 ride. SUPER smooth.
I had to do a few mods for the final appearance, for example, upgrade to a 7" headlight, and I will have to shave a little plastique off the top of the instrument pod shells or the inside fairing cowl, but it is a really good fit. The only drawback is the turning radius is little wider. AND I don't want anyone to get close enough to scratch that beautiful paint job!

Ya, I got about a week off before the winter sailboat racing preparations start so I have some time to goof off in here.Duane Ausherman wrote:Is this the "Joan" from Ken's rally fame? Wow.

Re: Hi fellas
Joan, while you are goofing off here could you tell something of your brewing operation (somebody mentioned above).
My partner and I have just passed the 18,000 mark - that is, we have bottled 18k 'stubbies' (Oz 350ml bottles). Naturally we have no idea where they have all gone.
