Hard Part R1150GS

[nigel_carver]

Chaps and Chapesses,

I've purchased a Touratech Hardpart second hand and was wondering (there were no instructions supplied) :-

a) are there any ? (or is it that simple!)

b) is there anything that I should be aware of when fitting it ?

Thanks in anticipation

Nigel

Should be a piece of piss, mine is an 1100 and needs an allen key to fit. But I have an idea that the 1150 one is fitted simply with zip ties....

I stand to be corrected, 2 minute job...

Bolt it on and go

If your German is any good, there is a little manual on the German TT shop site > BMW > R1100GS, R1150GS & Adventure > Hard Part

Cheers,
Michel

I can fax you my instructions, I think I still have them somewhere.

Only the 1100 has a Hard Part near the footrest / swingarm pivot, 1150's were redesigned, so not needed.

You'll need the silver instructions, not the yellow ones .

I have lost my instructions for the Hard Part - apologies!

It's easy to fit, the Telelever is sandwiched between the two hard part plates. It pretty only fits in the correct position.

Before you fit it, ensure that the Telelever steering nut at the front of the arm is correctly torqued up. Once fitted, trim the sides from the steering nut's black plastic cover so that it does not foul the hard parts top plate.
