Miguel! Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I've been hunting for one for the last month on eBay, beamerboneyard, some of the salvage yards, but haven't found one. I find plenty of Left brackets and plenty of R1150RT Right brackets. Anyone have a pointer to one? I know I can buy a new one for ~$500 but would have thought I could find a good condition used one. I attached a picture of one below for reference. And I presume that the R1150RT bracket won't fit, right? Thanks! Miguel PS: I posted in the FS forum as well. Link to comment

Afternoon Miguel What are you looking for? Are you looking for the 'footrest plate' or something else? Link to comment
Miguel! Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 DR. I am looking for the footplate as shown in the photo. It's the part that holds the footpegs and also secures the sidecases at the rear. Thx for any help . Miguel Link to comment

Miguel Afternoon Miguel Ok that is the 'footrest plate', my parts book shows a different part number for the 1100RT vs the 1150RT so according to my book they won't interchange (but there is only one digit difference & that is buried in the middle of the part number so the parts book might have an error) . See if your plate has a casting number on the back as I have some of those plates in my shop attic but I never wrote what bike they came from. You might also call Beemer Boneyard to see what they can tell you as far as what BMW bikes (if any) use the same part as your bike, or even if they have any for sale. Link to comment

First, thanks for your offer to dig thru your personal attic stash. I won't be home till Sunday and will pull the plate and look at the part number and post it here either Sunday afternoon or Monday. I don't know how time consuming it will be to take off but it doesn't look very complicated. Second, that's a great suggestion to reach out to beaver boneyard. I'll do that.

eddd Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I parted out two R1100RTs and an R1150RT. The footrest plates went fast followed by many inquires if I still had some. I don't recall what the exact difference was between the models, but they are not interchangeable. Place an WTB ad in the Classified" section. I would not hold out much hope, but you never know. If I remember correctly the damaged ones all failed in the same area...one of the footpeg mounting points. One of the ones I sold had been repaired, and the repair was very solid. I would investigate getting yours repaired. Most any good fabricator/welder should be able to handle the job. Link to comment
Miguel! Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks eddd. I do have a WTB in the Classifieds Forum. As I understand it, most of those plates brake when the bike gets dropped and lands on the footpads. That is the case on the new-to-me R1100RT. In my case, it was had to make an unexpected stop at a one lane road with a stop sign at each end due to a washout and a car barreling thru without stopping on the other side. I put my right foot down but the dirt siding had been washed away by the heavy rains. Over I went at a standstill. Fortunately, the other damage is fixed and I didn't get hurt. Just a bit stunned and embarrassed. Interestingly, the independent BMW mechanic I had do some service on the bike noticed the broken plate and said that most of the footplate damage he's see is on the right. And if eBay is any indication, you can find plenty of left sides, but so far, I've not found any right sides. Thanks for the suggestion to get it repaired. I've done a preliminary investigation on that already but I'll keep hunting to see if I can find a good used one. Thanks for the observation on the 1100 vs 1150 version being incompatible.

Trobinson Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Miguel!, I'll look at mine this weekend for condition and let you know. I'm planning on parting my bike out and this may be just the impetus to get the process moving. How soon do you want/need it? Tom Link to comment
Miguel! Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Thx Tom. I don't actually "need it" because the broken one is functioning but I do want to replace it. Let me know your plans and I'll pm you my phone number. Cheers Miguel Link to comment

Miguel! Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 DR, Thanks so much for taking the time to look!! I truly appreciate that. I'll check with Trobinson above. He said he was going to part out an R1100RT. I'll find one sooner or later. Thanks again for going over the extra mile. Miguel! Link to comment

Woodchips Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I have ordered new and used parts from “Motor Works” in England, there is no VAT when exported and the shipping is via mail. I live in Canada and my RT 1100 used tail light assembly was around $80 CDN all in to my door. Link to comment
Miguel! Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Thx for the link!! They are closed till Monday but I'll send them an email this weekend. Cheers Miguel! Link to comment
