When I had my '05 GS I put a small (inexpensive) cover over the swingarm pivot point just to clean it up a bit. I recently saw a black/white R12R with a black cover over its pivot point, but I never had a chance to ask the owner where he picked it up. I assume it could have been a GS cover that he painted black.
Mr. Google couldn't help me find one in CONUS - anybody got a source?
Thanks ahead of time,

Re: Swingarm Pivot Point Cover
Chris, I have the Hornig pieces along with a few of their other bits. I also got my Remus through them and a windscreen that I have since sold. Great to deal with and excellent shipping - order direct from them and the shipping to me in Canada was comparable to getting parts from the US.

Re: Swingarm Pivot Point Cover
Unfortunately - the GS pivot point is a different (larger) diameter than the one on the Roadster. I bought a GS cover when I was at the RA Rally last spring - and it didn't fit. Happily - the vendor allowed me to return it.NCGS wrote:When I had my '05 GS I put a small (inexpensive) cover over the swingarm pivot point just to clean it up a bit.

Just got an email from Weudo..

About $30 + delivery.. (wonder if the website price has VAT in it - if so - that would be discounted..)

Re: Swingarm Pivot Point Cover
Thanks, Don.. that saved me a few bucks..
Unfortunately, with today's exchange rate of 1 X Euro = 1.55 $USD, that puts the right side cover at $25 plus shipping, and the left side cover at almost $25.. which isn't "bad", but still high for a couple aluminum discs.
Of course with the way our dollar is going, they'll be $60 for the pair by the weekend..
Appreciate your help,

Re: Swingarm Pivot Point Cover
I found A&S Cycles has them also - but it isn't clear in their catalog which one fits the right side.. or they don't show the right side one. Anyway - it's prolly cheaper at A&S as far as shipping.. cost of the plug was about the same.

Re: Swingarm Pivot Point Cover
For what it's worth when I queried the lack of a cover on the right side with the agents here in South Africa I was told that BMW do not put a cover on the reason being so that moisture will not get trapped inside there
