[/size]Does anyone know a rebuilder of FD and DS or a source for used parts? My DS rear splines are cooked while the pinion splines on the FD are in poor shape. I am unable to locate a used FD on beemerboneyard or eBay. My local BMW service center does not accept bikes built before 2000 (!).
I spoke to famous FD/DS re-builder, Bruno Sax, who is out of action for a few more months pending recovery from health issues. Bruno said I might get 30,000 km out of a new or rebuilt DS fitted to the existing FD (vs 150,000 km if fitted to new FD splines). Beemershop.com offers their after-market DS for US$349 and that might be worth ruining in 30,000KM but it would be nice to get an affordable FD. Ideas welcome.
The transmission output splines are fine. I have photos of all splines but previous attempts to attach them have resulted in error 500 (unable to do what you want us to do).
Suggestions appreciated.

I bought a good shape used shaft from him for a good price.

My new ds was noticeably starting to get chewed up after only 200 miles married to a bad fd spline. Don't do it. Get new ds from Ted and send your fd to virginia motorad. I had mine done there. Very happy. Bike shifts are SOOOO much smoother without all the worn part slop in the system.
