Triple Tree BMW Emblem

[EddyQ]

I recently bought the BMW emblem (plaque) (51147667456) and the o-ring to replace the cheap looking black plastic cap just under the key on the triple tree. Now I have it and have no idea how to install it. The fiche make it look like the o-ring might hold it in the hole once the plastic cap is removed. Nope, the plaque and o-ring is far to small. The plaque is peal and stick. So maybe it is designed to simply stick to the old cap? But what is the o-ring for?

 

Has anyone done this that could give me a clue?

Did you get the stainless plug that goes in the hole where you remove the old plastic cap? The emblem then sticks into the stainless plug/cap.

I have no stainless piece. But, that sounds like it would work well. Attached is the fiche that shows the parts. I see no such stainless piece. Though, I will investigate.

You will need an emblem to go with this. Hope this helps.

Hello there,

Experienced the same as Eddy Q. It appeared that these items are replacements parts. Yesterday I received the correct item. It has a plastic base on which the badge is glued and it has the O-ring for keeping out moist. The partnumber is 31 42 7 704 591 and is originally used for the R1200R and S and some K's. In the Netherlands price was about 38 euro or about $ 50.

Bye for now
