forks

A pair of fork legs, to fit R11150GS and Adv - they were common to all 1150 GSes and Advs - Application list: CLICK Used, but straight and serviceable... Includes fork bridge, but no ball joint... How about £60 inc mainland, non-highland GB p&p - elsewhere at cost?

1150GS Fork Dust Caps - NOT seals, but recommended being changed when you change seals. Genuine BMW Part No 31 42 2 311 980 - Fitment list here: Click Unused. How about £12 the pair, including non-highland mainland GB p&p, elsewhere at cost?

Hi there, earlier in the year I noticed that the rubber ball joint cover on the front forks had perished. I looked to the internet for the answer but nothing, I rang BMW Motorworks, only suggested to buy a complete new £150.......... so a bit more looking and I found this on eBay...

Can it really be as involved as the Haynes manual says? Drop the forks, fabricate some special "tools", take them apart etc? Why can't I take the top cap off and undo a drain plug, like all sane bikes have?
