Anyone got a threaded bush.........

[OTTer]

for a 2007 1200GSA screen?
Took the screen off last night to put in a power point and other bits. When I was putting the screen back on I managed to drop the inside threaded bush somewhere in the front end. Done all the usual things with magnets and torches but god knows where it went - the dog was under the bike at the time and she was licking her lips!!!
Tried BMW and they want £42+ for the complete assembly as they dont come individually!! so I'm hoping someone out there has a spare at a reasonable price?
Took a picture of the one from the other side and currently using a washer and 10mm nut but would prefer the proper fitting.

I think they do come individually

Ebay.

Try looking on realoem.com to see if you can ID the part number and then order from Motorworks.

Nylock nut and a washer

Been there, done that one....You'll need a little spanner if you want to adjust the screen but how often do we need to do that then?

Been there, done that!
I used a nylock nut too, then when I started the bike next, the original part fell out of it's hiding place!

Been there too. Eventually found it on the garage floor two days later. Live in hope.

Which part?

Just noticed a couple of screen adjusters on flea bay

The left one is there too £18 each though - try an offer?

 

[OTTer]

Thanks for the suggestions so far chasps, I tried JKWs OEM suggestion and it's item 11 on their drawing and as posted by Mike O. Unfortunately there are two bushes with the same part no. and when Motorworks kindly checked their stock it didn't have any threading. The eBay from Lithuania is at best a ripoff IMHO but thanks for the suggestion.
Still checking the patio floor and the dog, the CDG asked me if I'd tried picking the bike up and shaking it!!

I always thought the Lithuanian ebay items were the ultimate in recycling - ie we were buying parts back from bikes nicked here and split over there.

Item 11 looks like a flange nut to me. Are you sure it isn't item 4 you are after? This is the threaded bush with two flats on it?

You're probably right.

Just had a closer look. . . I think you're right. . .item4 normally falls down.....
