Melting side cover on R100GS

SJRoome · Jul 22, 2021

Hi

I have just replaced the support bobbin at the end of the exhaust on my 1989 R100GS. When I took the left hand side cover off I found that it had been touching the silencer and part of it had melted.

It looks like there should be a couple of cylindrical rubber buffers in the raised plastic cylinders toward the bottom of the exhaust.

Any ideas for a neat fix welcome.

Side panel parts

This might be useful, part seven is a rubber (?) spacer

Motorworks sell them. I've just renewed all mine. Expensive for what they are but worth it as you have found out.

I dont know how I missed this part in the Motorworks online catalogue.

Hi Steve

I’m curious, what are those bars you have on your bike? My stock ones are bent and I am considering my aftermarket options.

Thanks, Denis
