3D Printing a BMW R65 / R80 Clock Bezel

The motivation for this project was the fitment of some taller handlebars on the R65. Consequently the original padded dash bezel would no longer fit. Rather than chop the original part, a new bezel was designed for 3D printing.

This image shows the completed bezel. It was designed in three parts to enable it to be printed on a standard hobby printer and also to accommodate the angle of the gauges.

The files can be downloaded below and should be printed with a high infill percentage >50% for durability. If there is a requirement to drill the panel for additional switches or an expectation that the edges will need trimming then the infill will need to be 100%.

One clock bezel file is provided and the expectation is that two will be printed, but one of them as a mirror of the first.

This design was specifically drawn to fit behind the standard R65 fairing, it featured a taller "forehead" along the top to fill in the gap between the clocks and the fairing.
