I've got one from a R1150RT.  Would you know if they are the same?

The BMW part numbers are identical: 36311451791

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 have one here for a K bike Y-spoke wheel in my parts pile.  I can let you have it for $12 shipped if you want it.

I just looked on eBay, found none and had to buy 2 new from Countryside, with the coupon shipped it was $46.  $22 each for 2mm of pressed metal is going for a price record.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
