Hi there.
My K100RS is off the road while I have the frame cleaned and powder coated. Being an RS, the front engine frame mounts are rubber bushes. Seeing as how they've been in for 23 years I thought it might be an opportune time to replace them. In fact, I wish I'd never bothered as they were in reasonable condition and proved to be very difficult to remove (resorted to oxy-acetylene torch!).
The frame will be ready next week and my local BMW dealer has ordered the bushes from Germany at £5.45 each (not bad!). has anyone experience of installing these? I'm worried they may be just as difficult to put back.
