where is the best place to get parts

[2002r1150r]

Ive read and enjoyed cyclerob's write up on spline lubing and I'm contemplating replacing my slave cylinder and lubing my splines as well, I was wondering if someone could direct me to a resource that sells a quality after market slave cylinder whats the best choice for 2002 r1150r?

Not aware of any aftermarket slave cylinders. I wouldn't replace it unless it's bad anyway. By all means, check it and do Rob's mod.
When you have the transmission off and the splines cleaned, please post some pics of the splines along with your mileage.

I think you're pretty much SOL with respect to that kind of aftermarket part.

I second AndyRR's request for pictures (and narrative) of the job.

Too bad..when i had my 96 ducati ss/sp i replaced the stocker with a billet yoyodyne piece that had a bigger bore...oh ya and also worked better and didnt leak...I was hoping that i could do the same for the beemer..oh well...
ill post some pics...maybe a video too...the job looks pretty straightforward...but BIG..those 4 pivot bolts looks to be the biggest pain in the ass.
hats off to cyclerob his write up and pictures really put it in to perspective...i can see why this would be a huge$$$$ job if you dropped this off at the dealer.
