Side Case Hinge Repair Advice

[Blueman]

Greetings

My right side case fell off the bike (R1150RT) at speed....it MAY or may not have been my fault....! I have checked the Fiche and did not see a part for the hinge itself.

Short of looking for an unused side case for parts I'm looking for advice on coming up with an acceptable repair.

As always I appreciate the collective wisdom of the group.

Part# 46 54 2 316 073 and rivet set 46 54 2 316 700 and you’d be back in business. Unfortunately, the hinge appears to be NLA but you could check with some of the bike parters to see about a used case or a good hinge from a non-usable case.

All these bikes use the same case hinge:

• 259 (R 850 GS, R 1100 GS)   (04/1993 — 07/2006)
• R21 (R 1150 GS)   (09/1998 — 11/2003)
• 259R (R 850 R, R 1100 R)   (09/1993 — 11/2002)
• R28 (R 850 R, R 1150 R, Rockster)   (11/1999 — 07/2007)
• 259 (R 850 RT, R 1100 RT)   (05/1994 — 11/2001)
• R22 (R 850 RT, R 1150 RT, R 1150 RS)   (01/2000 — 03/2006)
• 259 (R 1100 S, R 1100 RS)   (01/1992 — 07/2005)
• K589 (K 1200 RS, K 1200 LT)   (04/1996 — 04/2005)
• K41 (K 1200 GT, K 1200 RS)   (03/2000 — 07/2005)
