Any recommendations for a chrome plater, preferably in the south.
My 550 K0 headlight brackets need doing, so far I’ve been quoted at one place £80 for the pair and £90 each at another place.

My 550 had the same problem, new switch sorted it.

Ages since I wired mine in but from memory they go back to the white and green on the exciter coil. This was on my 550 K0.

I want to paint the housing, just wondering if anyone has removed one.
I assume it’s stuck down and maybe a bit of heat will enable me to remove it and then put it back after.

What’s this sunshine thing you’re on about ☹️

You don't use the felt with the bronze bushes, just the end cap.
Thanks Julie 👍

Mine had the felt seals, I don’t need them do I?

Yes you do Steve. They are dust seals and they also have a rubber seal on the inside to keep the swing arm grease in.
Thanks Dave.

I have a set of the bronze bushes from Julie I’m about to install. Do I still need the caps, item 15 in the picture?

I heated the end of the swingarm and just knocked out the bush with a long steel rod. Came out pretty easy, no cutting.
Are you refering to the short bushes that used to be plastic (Julies are Brass) or the long Center Collar shown in the parts book diagram as item 13 p/n 52141-300-000 a hefty £103.22 from DS?
They were about 2 inches long and definitely metal.

Try H & R insurance in Aberdeen, I found them very good when I used to have my 1994 BMW M3.

Need just the front part of a 550 brake caliper housing if anyone has one. Don’t need the internals just the main housing the piston fits in.
Thanks.
