black99S Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Do you mean the hole in the final drive? I thought having it open promoted cooling. look here http://www.bmwsantacruz.com/Merchant2/index.html BMW of Sant Acuz 'Tornado' final drive hub cover Link to comment
Albert Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Chrome reverse muffler bearings from a 62 Dodge Dart are a perfect fit. Link to comment

Ken H. Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Wunderlich (from BMW Santa Cruz) also sells a separate cover for that right side frame point. As does Touratech - www.touratech-usa.com Wunderlich also sells a pair of frame covers that look like this: Link to comment

Yeah, what's up with that anyway?! Is there some "real" reason for leaving it uncapped? I questioned everyone at the dealership when I picked up my R12ST. Just a lot of head scratching. It would look much cleaner with a nice cap like the left side. Link to comment

It would look much cleaner with a nice cap like the left side. I too wondered why BMW provided a plastic cap on one side, and no cap on the other side. In late September, I sent an e-mail to BMW Santa Cruz inquiring about when some of the new Wundelich products for the R12ST would become available here (including Wunderlich's frame caps). Here is the information: R12ST Swingarm Pivot Covers Left side, Part No. 8500212, $34.95, In stock now (Same as R1200GS) Right side, Part No. 8500213, $34.95 Not yet available, November 2006 (unique to R1200 ST) I also inquired about several other R12ST-specific items: R12ST Final Drive Bolt Plug 8161430 $42.00 In stock now R12ST Oil Cooler Grill 8500146 $74.95 Not yet available, November 2006 I hope these new items become available soon.
