Badly fitting seat cover....

[Benny130]

First service due in a couple of weeks and mentioned this when booking with the dealer. Their response it that " none of them fit properly" but the fit on mine is shocking!



Does anyone elses fit any better than mine??

If you are talking about the rear seat cowl, they dont fit snug. although yours looks particularly bad.

 

[Benny130]

Is that really within tollerances? you can almost get stuff in and out without taking it off!!!

Hi Benny, I took the washers out of mine from under the bracket on my 2013 HP4, it makes it a bit tighter but they are not that great.

Agree with whats already been said. They are all shocking in terms of the fit. Beggars belief given the price of the machine. It was the same on my 11RR. Yours does seem slightly worse fitting, but not by much more than the rest i've seen. Poor from BMW on the whole

Rear Seat Cowl

Mine looks very similar to that. I don't think they are designed to be flush fitting as you wouldn't be able to run the cable under it for the HP Race Datalogger.

Possible explanation. I doubt very much its a 'bad' design job by BMW as everything else on the bike lines up perfectly (at least it does on mine).

Looks pretty much like my one. Maybe BMW want to allow the inevitable spiders to breathe.

Cowl fit is the same as mine. About the same quality as the rest of it!

Same here !

Mine fits about the same too. Annoyingly mine has lost the paint on both forward corners of the seat cover just from removing and re fitting. My 2013 did exactly the same.
