So my Honda Interceptor project has had me sidetracked a bit as I re-learned the functions of my multimeter. "Stators make AC current"...cool...." 2 of six diodes in the regulator rectifier were fried. It took some time and patience to sort....current-gen units use MOSFETs to shunt overages...I do love BMWs....
Now back to my last acquisition for the K11 clutch: I need, and acquired today Part #6 on the fiche attached- outer housing far right, Mine is fairly deeply pitted and nasty from 80k and an oil soak.
Max gets $300+ for this OEM Sachs outer housing OUCH. Not a whole lot different than the K75 version for half that. a rude awakening when I saw first saw it...My COVID deprived play money account can hardly afford the used unit on eBay , now discounted to $38. Gotta do better.
Motobins gets about $180 plus even higher cost shipment from the locked-down fortress Europe. So, Motobins is out as a USA supplier for now. A German dismantler outfit quoted $100+ $105 to ship...ouch!!
Anyway, good news: a Vegas dismantler on Ebay just posted a complete clutch from a rather high mileage 1100LT (same clutch) and with a nearly spanking new -:" I can still see the machining grooves in the mating surface " part # 21212333472 can be read on the posting...."Take my money!!!
Here's the auction:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/93-99-BMW-K1100LT-OEM-CLUTCH-PRESSURE-PLATE-R3-BX1/383409677077?autorefresh=truethe second image is the actual part from the listing. Note the spots of wear surrounded by concentric rings. this thing hasn't even been worn flat yet...gotta be very low mileage. Do experts agree??
Better news yet: he accepted an offer of $52.75 shipped. Time to install the main seal and maybe paint the center stand.
