Looks better than the large head bolts and the fender washers IMHO.
They look RIGHT and bolt right in - no worries.


The bolts are stainless and you can order them from: http://www.mcmaster.com/
Part number: 92125A296
You have to order 10 for around $1 each or PM me and I'll send you a couple for $1 @ plus postage as I now have 8 extras.

Maybe you guys missed this. The bolts are perfect for this. I only have two left that I'm keeping for spares you'll have to order your own.

Thanks mogu83 those screws or bolts from McMaster Carr were absolutly perfect. My hand guards are now installed. Thank You! That part # saved my allot of looking around.

I just tried to order these hand guards from my local dealer and was told that these have been discontinued and he wasn't able to order them. Does anyone know where I can get a set. The ones from the 2008 GS wont work.

Thanks for the help

Try Chicago BMW, it's where I bought mine, plus they give 20% off all BMW parts

773.274.6820


If no luck, maybe you could put a request in here for some..

http://www.ibmwr.org/market/



Why did they say the 08's won't work?
It doesn't make much sense to discontinue a popular accessory for last years bike...

Try Bob's BMW http://www.bmwbobs.com/ that's where I got mine. Ordered them on Tuesday morning and had them Wednesday afternoon. They have a huge stock of parts and have always had whatever I needed.

Thanks guys,

I'll try both tomorrow.

Gary - I think your dealer is FOS (FullOShict). These would be a common crash repair item. No way BMW is discontinuing them. They may have changed the PN for the complete "kit" - but bet the individual parts are available.

A bit of work with REALOEM.COM turns up: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=32&fg=25 - where the "kit" is listed as "ENDED see EBA 7687838" - but right under it is shown:

SET HAND PROTECTOR 1 71607697149 +core
ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH
-- HANDLEBAR VIBRATION ABSORBER 330G 1 32717693509
-- COUNTERSUNK SCREW M12X90 1 32717698103

If we now go to Chicago BMW and lookup 71607697149 - it returns:

71607697149 HAND PROTECTORS Regular price $95.00, Discount Price: $76.00

BTW - punching the original PN: 71607687859 into Chicago's lookup https://chicagobmwmotorcycle.com/cgi/search_part.cgi also turns it up as being available - at $0.05 more than the new part number.

What you have is a lazy or ignorant parts dude. You might keep that in mind, and the on-line sources as a backup in future dealings with him.

YMMV..

Well, tried to order it from Bobs in MD, no joy, on back order. Called Chicago and same story, said I might be able to order the individual parts but recalls hearing something about not being able to get the brackets for them and that I should try later. Both told me there are none in the country.

Guess I just missed the boat! I'll keep trying!

Gary

Gary,

Did you try both part numbers?

I've got a pair of R1150GS handguards I would be happy to sell someone.
Mark

Would these work on a 2008 R1200R

deilenberger wrote:Gary,

Yeah!, I spent a good part of the day on the phone with a few dealers.

Heard things like parts freeze and stuff like that, I guess the issue is the bracket that attaches the hand guard to the bar.

If you're referring to 1150GS handguards - I'd say no. I had a set I took off my RS that I traded in on the R1200R, and I couldn't make a clean install of them. Went with the 1200GS ones.

Bummer. I imagine they'll reappear sooner or later.. guess if they're being installed on new GS's they're still being produced.
