That's an excellent job!

"Sprayed with VHT spray dye."

What is spray dye?
Is it for colouring plastics?
Can it be sprayed straight onto plastic without primer?
Where do you by it?

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I got the spray dye from REPCO for about $23. I looked at Bunnings and Super Cheap Autos but they don't stock VHT products (around here anyway). I used it once before when I sprayed some damaged plastic that was part of a console in a previous car. It works really well on plastic and seems to get absorbed into it. Haven't tried it on anything else though. VHT have a really good range of paints including paint for brake calipers.

Nice work, Marty. I've used VHT brake caliper paint before for touch-ups on my K. It's nice paint. I read somewhere that VHT is PJ1 paints rebranded; don't know the truth in that statement. Can't believe everything you read on the Net. I'm amazed that the vinyl dye paint works on plastic like that. Just saying, I'd use an adhesion promoter on plastic no matter what overcoat I chose to apply afterwards.

Thanks for the search Inge, the part shown I have, what I need is the next bit forward that goes at right angle and attaches to radiator protection housing
I cant find it on their site but at 60+ I may be doing it wrong
They don't have an email contact that I can find and to ring means me in Australia sitting up all night!
Its the part that attaches to the front of FUA60753
If anyone in England could inquire or find an email address I would really appreciate it

I would guess that that rubber part would be difficult to find,
as it have been NLA for many years.

I think BMW did stop using this part before the production of the RS 8V was ended.

I havent seen that part on a K made after 1986 and that one is a K75c which may or may not be different. I know of an early RT with one but I haven't seen one on an RS but I believe they were fitted. I recall discussing the subject at a BMW gathering about 6 years ago and the opinion seemed to be that there were not many around and in general at the futility of having it or not having it on later models.
To be quite honest Bill I would not be too concerned about it unless a concourse bike is being considered.

Rick, the part that Bill is searching was only used on the K100RS, and no other model.

That could also be the reason to that BMW stop using it on the RS also,
cause it wasn`t needed at all.
(beside that, it was a pig to fit correctly).

So the RS and RT are different and I would presume the K75c was different again as the radiator surround was different.
I repainted a friends K75c about a year ago and it also is a pig to fit and get straight so that the radiator surround would sit right.

The part in the top of the page in the link is identical on K100, RS, RT, LT and 75RT.

The grille for the air intake beside the radiator is different on the RS from the others.

And the part in question is a very short, thin walled and angled rubber hose that connects the grille and the part shown in the link.

See that you have added a picture......Thanks Charlie, this was a new one for me, not seen on the RT`s I`ve been working on.......

Must have been removed earlier on the RT, since it`s not even exists in the part diagrams.
