I've got a chinese set on my 2012 twincam. All works very well and has really helped my knees. Fitting was straightforward except for wrecking one of the original pins getting it out, so had to replace with a new one. They are very soft stainless steel - heat was required.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I must be philosophical about this and write it off to experience, after all, we're not talking about a life changing sum of money. If it was a deliberate scam then frankly it was an odd way of going about things - I mean, why would he confirm receipt of the money ...

Thanks for pointing that out, hadn't noticed. Fingers crossed

Well, to say I am disappointed would be something of an understatement.

The last communication from you was on Feb 10 when you confirmed receipt of funds into your bank, and a promise to keep me updated via email regarding the shipping. Since then - complete radio silence! Would love to know what's ...

Have you by chance got grip puppies or similar fitted? You know, the foam tube thingies that add a little comfort and are supposed to reduce vibration fatigue. I had your problem and it turned out the addition of the foam grips stopped the clutch lever being pulled in far enough to engage the bybass ...

PM sent.

Would really like to get hold of this. I suppose shipping to the UK would be prohibitively expensive, assuming of course that you even wanted the aggravation?

Sounds like the beginning of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome for both you guys. I'd get it checked out before it gets worse, neglected this can result in permanent nerve damage and end your riding days.

Thanks Stu, didn't know that, will add the check to the short list of upcoming jobs. I have the gs911 which is plugged in periodically and at service time - haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Out of curiosity, what would you define as "on the high side"?

Just had yet another low beam bulb go south a couple of days ago. My 2012 camhead eats these things, this one makes 5 bulbs in 3 years. For comparison, my 1100 got through 2 in 11 years and 50k miles. Worse, its the right hand one - you know, the one you can't get to without removing the dashboard ...

If i understand you correctly the item you refer to is the paralever arm (BMW call it a "tension strut") and it controls the movement in that big joint where the swingarm meets the bevel drive.

Just had to change my vote. My 20112 camhead just clicked over 65k last week - service time now in time for this years shenanigans.

I fear you will need to read the fault codes to figure this one out. Do you know anyone local wiith a GS-911 or equivalent?

I'm assuming the light stays on after riding the bike, because it won't go off until the abs check has completed at about 5mph.

It sounds like these are sold, but if not I woud definitely take the front ones.

Sadly, not likely at the moment. That could conceivably change, but I won't know till towards the end of next week, so will be a last minute thing if I can make it. Interested to hear location and timing which doesn't seem to have materialised yet.
