Hey Motorrad experts. Looking for anyone with experience using the Ei replacement driveshafts from Ted Porters Beemer Shop. Specifically, replacing the driveshaft on my 2011 R1200GSA with 114,000. The replacement seems to be ~2mm or 1/16" longer than the stock shaft. The local BMW dealer says not to use the Ei shaft because it is causing "notching" when rotating with the shaft but there is no notching in the final drive without the shaft. . I should also note that this is the second Ei driveshaft the dealer has said the same thing on. The Beemer Shop replaced the first one and now the dealer is claiming the same behavior is being experienced with the second.
As I'm getting ready for a 18K mile trip to AK this summer I'd like to avoid finding out there were issues with the Ei driveshaft in the middle of the Northern Territory.
Anyone have any similar experiences, suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks
