Title: WTB: K75 Rear Wheel Spacer
Post by: TimTyler on August 11, 2015, 09:02:36 PM: Anybody got an extra rear wheel spacer they wanna get rid of?

Thought I'd ask here before doing ebay.

Didn't realize they're just $20 new until I just looked. I'll call my dealer tomorrow morning to see if they have one in stock. If they don't I'll happily buy yours.

I think manufacturing charges by the hole. It's an old German tradition.

Post by: TimTyler on August 12, 2015, 12:28:15 PM: Yes, Johnny. Got a Shinko 712 and when I was installing the new brake rotor yesterday noticed that there's only a RCH clearance between the tire and swing-arm. I've put 1k miles on the tire already without issue but $22 is a small price to pay to avoid being nervous.

Post by: subforry on August 12, 2015, 12:42:20 PM: I was looking at getting the Shinko Podium 170/60 18, and noticed that my Michelin is very close to the swing arm. I think bike has no spacers.

Post by: subforry on August 12, 2015, 06:42:29 PM: Thanks Johnny, good to know. Once I get the spacers I will order up a set of Podiums. The cross section profile on my Michelin road pilot 2s are looking like this \__/
They have about 7-8k miles.

Post by: TimTyler on August 12, 2015, 07:43:28 PM: My dealer didn't have one in stock but referred me to a couple of local BMW mechanic shops. I called Bob Bridge @ Bridge BMW (http://www.bridgebmwrepair.com/) and he had one collecting dust. Rode up to his shop under Tacoma's 11th St bridge and he handed it over. He had a few K's in various states of repair scattered about. Might have to make his place a regular stop when passing through Tacoma.

Bridge's spacer is only 1mm thick though.

A Motobrick.com'er offered me an extra spacer for $5 so that's coming in the mail too. I should be set.
