TEWKS Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Does anyone know how to remove this piece. I removed the two plastic inserts on the bottom side, but something is still holding it firmly in place. Thanks, Pat. Link to comment
Tucker2930 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Look at the break down and see if it helps. http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/fiche/fiche.asp Link to comment
jakfrost Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Pat, I tried to remove mine and found there is a small allen head bolt on the inside of the center piece, at the back of course where you only have about 1/2 inch of clearance between it and the oil cooler. I don't know of a tool that will fit in there...I guess you could make one? In any case I have the oil cooler screen from BMW SantaCruz and it is pretty good. I had to paint the screen part semi-gloss black to make it look 'right'. Also the fit over the stock piece wasn't perfect and required some 'massaging' to get it into place,i.e. more double sided tape on the left that the right to build it up a little... Good luck, Jim Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks for the info, I bought the same part & ran into the same problem. I tried to attach it in the garage where the temp was about fifty degrees, thought that was my problem. Had it painted grey to match the bike. Its going to look slick if I can get it to stick.

RoyTemple Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Have either of you got pictures you can post of this? I have no idea what you are talking about but it sounds interesting. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Roy, I have a picture but no luck in posting it. If you go to http://www.bmwscruz.com and go to the Wunderlich catalog. You will find the oil cooler screen part 8500149 for the R12RT. Link to comment
