Left side system case needed

I damaged the latch (part of the multi-function box) that connects my left side system case to the bike, and have had no success in sourcing a used replacement (either the box or another case). Buying new costs a bomb - any ideas (I live in Vancouver, Canada)?

Re: Best replacement touring windscreen?

Thanks for the input, folks, and Happy New Year! Airman: you are two years ahead of me. When I retire at the end of 2015, I will be looking for a more dedicated tourer for longer trips. Love my R, but would welcome a bit more luxury (as would my wife, good sport though she is) for the long hauls. Ch...

Re: Best replacement touring windscreen?

Thanks for the quick reply. I ride two up quite a lot and found buffeting was an issue at highway speeds for both me and the pillion rider with the original. Do you know if the Parabellum uses stock mounts (I'll go to their site and check but always treasure the advice of other owners)? And Happy Ne...

Best replacement touring windscreen?

I need to replace the stock touring windshield on my 2002 R1150R - long story short, I missed the bear but hit the ditch. Any advice on sourcing another original, or on other options?

Thanks for the heads up. More inclined to read than post (I have lots to learn), and enjoy the site.

Cheers,

Re: Project Heretic

Wow, and here I was all chuffed with my custom seat and lowered pegs! Astounding amount of work and creativity. Cool to see how it works out!

Re: First BMW

All of an hour on my (new to me) 2002 R 1150 R and am loving it. Got it with 24,000 kilometres, hard bags included, and like new. I am looking forward to recovering my riding skills and a summer of fun!
