We purchased a front wheel for our 1999 BMW R1100RT from Ebay.
Note, the numbers stamped on the wheels match but I hear this is not the true BMW part #?
According to https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=51680&rnd=07242017 my front wheel should e part # 36 31 2 311 220 CAST IRON RIM SILVER FRONT - 3,50X17 ?
Anyway, my brake disk mounting bolts would not thread into the Ebay wheel ?
Is this an indication of someone using heat to remove the brake disk or locktight, etc or the Ebay wheel does not match my wheel ?
I did notice there are ABS vs non-ABS bikes, but it looks like the front wheels are the same ?
Separately, how long does the front wheel bearing last ?
