The closest part number I can find is 46611456903 for a K75S. Both the late model K100s, K75s and K1100s used Showa forks. I think fenders for these three models are interchangeable and the fiches bear that out but I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm before I commit to an Ebay purchase?
If the last digit in that part number were considered more likely to be an 8, then it would fit into the sequence of superseding numbers at realoem and would be found in the Max BMW parts index also.duck wrote:The part number in primer is 46612309731. As RealOEM shows it is the same part for all two-part Ks(*) as well as some R80s and R100s.
It could be an eight. Your comparison is not valid in all fonts, but your confidence is admirable.Dai wrote:That's a nine. Compare it to the six at the start of the sequence. If it was an eight, the proportions would be closer to the six.
You're really missing something, Point-Seven-five. Start paying attention to the spaces within the numbers, like Dai and I are doing. It can be motivating.Point-Seven-five wrote: Bottom line is that I don't pay any attention to those numbers anymore.
Well, I'll have to agree with you @Point-seven-five. I just contacted an eBay seller and confirmed that the part he has available has the same embossed number as mine.Point-Seven-five wrote:I have learned not to pay attention to the numbers on BMW parts as they often have no correlation to actual part numbers in the parts lists. ...
