sidecar man here looking forward to 65 pan book to help me keep my bike correct. thank you.
A book like that is a huge undertaking and life tends to get in the way of best intentions. There has been no response from the prospective author in years. So only direct contact could answer the big question.Robbie Knight Amca #2736

I've posted to threads in the past on '65. My resto is complete you can see various postings, etc. It's all pretty much covered. There will never be a book on '65 IMHO They are a biatch. And if you want to do one right you need to first understand how original yours is, not a simple task - really. Otherwise just fix it up and get it running. There are so many first/last/mid year changes that you really need to spend a LOT of time on a '65 resto. PM me to talk further. This is old ground. '65 is a great year to have - unless you are trying to get one back to original. It's a long hard road to get them right.Ray

I bought an OP 65 recently. What is the consensus about grip color? The 3 factory 65 photos I've found show white grips. The photo I've found most often is a right side 3/4 front view showing a guy on the bike, and girl behind the front fender. My bike is configured like the machine in this photo, which looks like a King of the Highway package, but lacks the rear safety guards.

The 62A grips were available in several colors other than black or white. However, I think these were 'over the counter' parts department sales, rather than an option on a new bike order form. I'm sure that if a customer wanted blue grips on his new 65, a dealer would have installed them prior to sale.
