Hi All...
I used to be a member until my account expired due to lack of use; much like everything in my life; especially common sense; an ability to control my
use of the throttle whilst lent over at improbable lean angles, etc - my wife's list is endless.
Anyway; a recent bout of enthusiasm on a track day has left my 2005 R1200GS requiring some TLC
; and a final transmission and a new clutch mounting.
In fact as I recall the frame that travels the length of the rear of the bike could be best replaced - or some welding around the rear passenger bracket mounts.
Despite the outcome, I did have fun.
If anyone knows of anyone in a position to sell any of these items due to theirs being more wrecked than mine; please get in touch!! If the outer shell is in tack I can replace with my inners, etc.
Any help and advice (on fixing it; not how not to wreck it again) or repair alternatives or contacts gratefully appreciated.

....it's a funny thing about wifes, Once they know your intact and still have all the same didits you went on the track with "THE TRUE COST OF THAT LITTLE EXCUSION STARTS TO GET CALCULATED"
......I think they must have the BMW parts department on re-dial........my wife came out with prices for parts i couldn't even find....
And then you get "WELL, THATS THE MOST EXPENSIVE £150 TRACK DAY YOU'LL EVER HAVE ISN'T IT DARLING" just at the moment your stood in your garage staring at the result of what happens while trying to out-brake that bloody R1
