Just thought an extra set of hands at MD, might be a good thing.
cecdoo Posted May 30, 2008 #5 Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks, I was hoping it was that easy, I am sure an extra set of hands holding the lite bar would be a good thing. Craig

Bring to Maint day and there will be plenty of extra hands.
cecdoo Posted May 31, 2008 #9 Posted May 31, 2008 Would like one myself. Anyone? hh There is a guy selling them on ebay rite now BMW something or other, I didnt see anyone selling them in our classifieds so I searched ebay under motorcycle parts, type in royal star venture, sorry I dont know how to post the link:080402gudl_prv: Craig
BMW Posted May 31, 2008 #10 Posted May 31, 2008 Folks, As certain situations dictate when and how many of these spacers I have avilable I would prefer to just list them on ebay when I have them. This way I'm not having to turn people away. Sorry for any inconvenience but this works best for me. Bill.... PS, If anyone locally has a vertical mill they would like to rent time to me on please PM me.

What hardware will I need to mount the spacer and the light bar? Thanks,

Thanks, Mine came with the 4 bolts, if you have those, thats all you need, I just rolled up a thick towel and put it on front fender between forks, Craig

Cool! Thought I had read another thread that you had to get them. Hadn't really looked the package over that well.
BMW Posted June 3, 2008 #14 Posted June 3, 2008 Folk's I'm not sure if all the original bolts that came with your light bars are the same, but when I did mine I was able to reuse the stainless steel button head cap screws to fasten the spacer back on the bike. I just put the black socket head cap screws in with the spacer just in case. Thanks Again Bill....
Tartan Terror Posted June 3, 2008 #15 Posted June 3, 2008 Roadkill do your self a favor and use the bolts that BMW sent. The Button head ones tend to soft and will round out easier. I had to grind the head off one of those to take my bar off the front and I replaced them with the cap screws that BMW provides. It uses a bigger ball head allen key and will not round out as easy.

Will do. thanks for the heads up. Every chance I get and where its applicable I like to switch to hex heads too. Started doing that after the saddlebag fiasco!
Squidley Posted June 4, 2008 #18 Posted June 4, 2008 Get with me Saturday Jay and we'll put it on, wont take any time at all.
Joopster55 Posted June 4, 2008 #19 Posted June 4, 2008 Ok, how has these spacers, and will they ship to Canada? I've been in touch with BMW and he hasn't shipped to Canada. BMW, if you're going to Freebird's Maintenance Day, can you bring one with you? Just asking, thanks.
RoadKill Posted June 4, 2008 Author #20 Posted June 4, 2008 Get with me Saturday Jay and we'll put it on, wont take any time at all. Thanks my friend. Looks so easy I may do it before I leave if I have time. I'll have my son help me. At 11 he still likes to do things with Dad
Eck Posted June 4, 2008 #21 Posted June 4, 2008 RoadKill, Were you able to find a light bar spacer yet?
