R18 Classic Windshield Clip

[anjumkha]

I discovered today, while removing the windsheild,that the left side clip had fallen off.

Where can I get a replacement. The bike is under warranty.

From what I can see in the BMW parts fiche that part may not be available as a standalone part, but rather only as part of the entire bracket. May want to consult your dealer and se if they can do you a solid. Otherwise I'd look for a used part online.

 

[anjumkha]

Thanks a lot.

Take off the one that is left ... get it to a local machine shop and have them whittle one out for you? ... if indeed it is not gettable as stand alone part ... or if you are crafty ... make one yourself? ... just my 2¢

I spoke with the dealership today. They will ship one to me since the bike is under warranty. They will mark it as a defective part.

I am amazed that I rode hundreds of miles with only one clip!

Oh that is fantastic news! ... no need to re-invent the wheel then

 

[Kingsize]

Definitely good news.

Does anyone know if BMW makes a plug to put in the top of the forks when the windshield bracket is removed?

On Amazon. These are said to fit.

Bad Mike
Thanks,
I just ordered them.

Just wondering, how did you find them and what prompted you to search such an item? !

 

[BAD MIKE USA]

I have removed my windshield and someone else posted that these fit. I haven't ordered them but saved them on my amazon account, to order at some point

What is the gizmo on top of the the windsheild?

 

[BAD MIKE USA]

BMW LOUDSPEAKER part number 77 52 2 469 294. Came on the bike from the dealer! I took that off too, changing handlebars to a low touring bar. No windshield, bags, bars, passenger seat, or loudspeaker. Keeping the auxiliary lights.

If you have a 3D printer hit DM message me and I send you some files ... you can print one yourself using TPU.

Same here. I removed the bags and the windsheild from my 2023 R18 Classic.
I will install fishtail pipes.
I think the R18 is no R18 without the fishtails.

They arrived and they do not fit tightly enough to stay in without adhesive. NFG.

Mine fit. I will ride a few miles and see if they come off.

What size did you order? The link is for 22-24mm, is this correct?

yes, 22-24mm, they cover the hole but aren't big enough to stay in from friction alone , they would stay in with some adhesive. Maybe the next size larger. I'm NOT going to use them. I might try the next size larger but its not at the top of my "to do list".
