Individual drive shaft components are not available from BMW. The bearings are staked in and not removable for replacement. You have to buy a complete driveshaft from BMW, unless you can find a used one.
Another option, assuming the yoke isn't damaged too bad, is Bruno's Machine and repair. He does rebuilds on BMW driveshafts and the finished product does have replaceable u joints that can be lubed (just like in the old days). His website is http://www.brunos.us/contact_us.html .
One of his rebuilt drive shafts sits in my '05 GS and I can attest to the quality of the work. But, be patient, he's busy.

Just to clarify:
That is a Hex head thread, different model of shaft and more prone to failure than the Oilheads.
I understand your concern, if the OP wasn't real familiar with the failure, It gives them something to look at. There is a nice picture of a repair by VEGASGSA, apparently similar to what Bruno's would do.

Update
Hi All
so finally got the bike to my shop and took it apart and it was the front u-joint that failed, and it pretty much destroyed the driveshaft and scored up the outer cover, so new parts ordered from e-bay and repairs to finish when they arrive .
thanks for all the input

Rod,
To answer your first question about a parts fiche, you can find them on [url]http://www.realoem.com/[/URL]. Assuming that a Canadian bike is US-spec (as opposed to European), the main page for your brother's '95 R1100R is here.
