  2. Coil puller.

    I have been learning how to use Freecad and decided to design and make my own coil puller. I printed it last night and it fits a treat…very snug. I am now wondering what else I could make ?… I was thinking about a new gadget mount for the dash. Any ideas ?.

    Hi all, I pulled up to park the GS for the night, turned the ignition off and this whirring noise continued.

  16. R1150GS handlebar switch buttons

    It looks like BMW only sells the whole unit (expensive). My buttons are fairly worn, the logos are half visible. Perhaps it's possible to order just the buttons (for example headlight button)?
