BMW S1000RR HP4 CAPTIVE WHEEL SPACERS. 2012- BLACK https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/173344342186
I’ve looked at these but not sure they will fit, I’ve asked the seller but he doesn’t have a part number for 2015 to check.

The alpha Racing captive spacers fit both the 2015+ S1000RR (with forged wheels) and the HP4. If the seller is listing them to fit a HP4 they should fit your bike as the wheels are identical albeit a different colour.

I’d buy one set from Alpha but I require 2 sets. Makes it a tad pricey.
Brilliant, appreciate the reply.

Can't you just use the same spacers on both sets of wheels? The spacers are for the rear wheels only as I understand, they are for the standard wheels, but i may be wrong about forged ones.
I think once they are in they are meant to be retained and not taken out every time you change wheels?
Thats my understanding but I’ve never used them before. Getting cheesed off with them fouling puting the wheel back on.
Takes me longer adjusting the angled spacer and getting it to sit flush than getting the actual wheel off and on...
I have two sets of standard wheels and I swapped the rear spacers (i.e. used original ones on new wheels) when I first swapped them but now realise on mine both sets are identical. I believe that a different spacer required on HP4 rear as sprocket carrier is different.
So if you have one standard rear and the HP4 rear you will need one new pair of spacers for the HP4 wheel.

Ahhhh, cross wires.
I have 2 sets of HP wheels because I'm a very lucky boy :cheerful:
If I buy CAPTIVE spacers they won't fall out as they are retained within the wheel.

Ah I see! All clear now. Captive spacers sound like a good idea.
