anyone changed disc bobbins lately ?

[turnipbmw]

wondering wether to do the ones on the RT

bit sloppy

£20 a side from motobins

is it worth it and how hard ?

or should I just leave and buy discs later

Just did the ones on my GS (running an RT front wheel) & used the stainless ones from M/works. With the correct circlip pliers, it was a doddle but I found it easiest to insert them in opposite pairs, like on a clock face - 12/6, 1/7, 2/8, etc...

I did them on my RT, with the same ones as paul, took a little while, but was easy and stopped them rattling

BTW, I also picked up new discs from Sherlocks as they were only £59.99 a side. Have you seen the price of the OEM ones from BMW...!!!

thats a pretty good deal

I would be tempted to go for 'solid' ones for that price

going to order bobbins later

That's just the price for replacement RT discs, which I mounted on new M/works stainless bobbins with the original carriers.
