WTB: Replacement BMW Badge?

[dakarDude]

Hi All,

I'm out on the bike last night, I glance down and ... my BMW badge on my 09 GSA has gone! (The one near the yoke under the handle bars at the top of the "steering column").

I went to the Lakes yesterday - left the bike in a public spot near the jetty at Windermere, it _may_ have disappeared there or I did clean the bike on Friday, so it may have loosened it, not sure!

Without it, there's a bit of a gaping hole where it was

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Anyone have a part number?

Cheers....

I have had two 'fall off', both replaced under warranty without issue, and I think the dealer gave me a spare just in case!

If you have no luck at the dealers then PM me and I will try and locate my spare.

Cheers JH!

Its due in for a service a week next Saturday (6000 miles) - I only got the bike last Sept. so I am under warranty.

Is it worth Aralditing the new badge on? Is the loss of these a common thing?

I don't wanna point fingers, but do people actively go around "half inching" them? I can't say for sure if mine was there OK before I went and left my bike at the Lakes yesterday.

I would tend to use a bit of clear silicone rather than Aralditing it on....silicone will hold it firm, but is not so permanent

Good shout - will get some in.

Mine also went AWOL on my 08 GS. Bought a replacement from the dealer - should have been nearly 30 quid Very generously they gave me a trade discount, which meant it was only extortionate wallet surgery.

I haven't fitted it yet, so it's still in its bag and should have a part number on it. Let me know if you still need the number and I'll get it for you.

 

[dakarDude]

Crikey £30.00!!!!! Where do they get their prices from?!?

Cheers, the part number would be handy if you have it.

Have you found a severe lack of power since the badge came off?

Somebody prised the badge out of my rack last week so I dropped a piece of Snakewood in to replace it.

It's 'just a motorbike' but I wasn't happy at the time

 

[dakarDude]

Tommygun - yes - funny you should say that, also can't seem to get above 65mph - must be some kind of "extra speed capability" device?

Touratech do a Logo Protector - stops people from long term borrowing.....not cheap at £20 though. Part number is 01-044-0670-0

Cheers Jedmeister but its the badge near the ignition on the top. Apparently they are only glued on

 

[Blackblade-rry]

Not sure which you need, but on the bag there is a label with a bar code and *1NF3W1174* underneath, and then two further sets of numbers/letters AD02 23J1B and 31 42 7 704 591 followed by Plaque, so I guess it's the latter.

They supplied the badge already stuck to the plastic insert that fits in the top yoke.

Good luck - hope you recover from the wallet surgery soon

 

[dakarDude]

Thanks Blackblade! My BMW dealer is getting one in ready for my service.
