Need a measurement for swingarm and pivot points covers.

I have a 2018 BMW R1200R and I am looking for covers for the rear swingarm bearings/pivot points. I found some that will fit a GS or RT (1200 LC), unfortunately I can't get the dimensions from the seller.

If somebody is in possession of a 2014-2018 LC GS or RT and also has a caliper, could you take a measurement of the inside diameter of that swingarm pivot points left and right? You can post the result in MM or inches, either way works for me.

Thank you for your help.
 
So, I had my brother in Germany buy a set of covers from a German eBay seller (wouldn't ship to the US). He received them a few days ago and is mailing them to me. I will give an update as soon as I receive them and try to mount the covers. If they do not fit, it will be a $40.00 learning experience.
 
I received my swing arm covers yesterday. They are excellent quality but, unfortunately, they do not fit my R1200R LC. The swing arms may be the same across the LC line, however, the actual pivot point where the bearing is mounted, is much thicker on the GS.

If anybody need a set for a GS LC, PM me. I'll post some photos later or send them to you via PM.
