R65LS Final drive

[Rob Frankham]

Quick look @ calmoto parts fiche part number: 35211454836 for the rear brake shoe cam appears to be shared by most airheads including the R90s so that is a good sign. The LS also uses a 200x25mm rear brake shoe which does a lot of other years/models so once I get this all sorted I will report back with my findings!

I don't know where you're information comes from but according to all of the sources I have available, the 'LS has a 220mm rear brake and uses shoes that are unique to that model. The rest of the parts appear to be interchangeable. This information is from the BMW spare parts lists confirmed by reference to a number of BMW parts dealers catalogues.

@Rob Frankham, going based off this https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/bp082.htm

Thanks for the info though, glad to hear the rest of the parts should be interchangeable. I did a quick search for LS rear pads and EME is a company I order through a lot.

The stock ratio for a R90s is indeed listed as 33/11 but a 32/11 was also considered a standard fitment according to the parts lists.

I think EME are in error there... all of the official sources state 220mm and they do state in the model application list that the shoes they list are only for the R65LS.

Either on here or another Airhead forum, it's only a few weeks ago since someone tried to fit a snowflake rear wheel to an R65LS and was puzzled why it wouldn't fit over the LS brake shoes. Regardless of what any of the part suppliers might think the LS shoes are larger in diameter.
