You will likely need to pay for someone to remove it - ideally the dealer that fitted it. It should be mounted somewhere difficult to easily remove.

If your bike battery is dying in 3/4 days it...

Yes, I have a gen 3 seat cowl on my gen 2. Bought from a forum member who was building a race bike.

BMW prices for new fairing panels are quite steep.

You could try for second hand one from https://racesparesuk.com/ Mostly these are parts stripped from new on race bikes.

The gen 3 and gen 2...

We now have to pay 20% VAT on all imports from EU, plus some items may also have duty, carriers now adding their own fees for paperwork & customs clearance.

I have a 2013 and also made the move from Suzuki to BMW (guessing from your username).

Welcome to the forum! Lots of friendly help & advice on here.
Well worth becoming a premium member too!

Yes, it was. At least I now have the bike back, it's taxed and MOTed. Just need to wait for better weather & end of Covid19 lockdown!

Bad luck Stuart. :-(
I sympathize. I had 3 Almeria trips and one to Jerez cancelled last year between March - May

Boots the Chemist do tests for travel, but they cost £120.

Seriously though, I would not be wanting to do an overseas track day at the moment. Insurance may be invalidated due to FCO advice, plus...

I have two-piece Helly Hansen merino...

Thanks Stuart,

Step by step procedure very helpful!

I never thought about the soapy water as a lubricant, I was imagining it like packing tape and if you got it wrong first time you were...

Hi Stuart,
Map looks good, as does the bike! What's your opinion of easy/difficulty/fiddlyness of fitting. I imagine that air bubbles are a pain?

What sizes are they?

Welcome to the site.

Cheers Jamie, on the first part I fitted BMW bearings and they are symmetric with no writing stamped on the races.

I guess there has got to be some side load to hold the spacer in place. In my...

Thanks Stuart. I see what you mean about when axle is tightened.
I did have to whack the bearings pretty hard to get them in. Was worried that somehow spacer wasn’t seated right and is pushing...

Finally got round to replacing wheel bearings on my spare front wheel today. Got the old ones out with bearing puller and slide hammer.
New ones in freezer overnight and Stuart's impact socket...

Yes, you obviously remember my 'incident', it was kerb damage. :topsy_turvy:
Not sure how effective they would be on a long tarmac slide.

Yes, my R&G front and rear ones took one for the team during my 'flying' escapade on the forum meet-up a few years ago.
