Hi Folks. Long time reader, first time posting.... I have a 2012 F800GS Triple Black, now with 55000 miles
Having recently come back from Argentina and an epic 16000 Miles from New York to Ushuia and back via Buenos Aires I thought the bike had done well to only suffer a few punctures and a rear brake seizure.
I had been aware of a knocking noise in the final drive in the last few days of the trip which i had put down to knackard chain, but on close inspection last night found shards of metal round the rear spindle, so removed the rear wheel to find this!

I must have ridden 1000+ miles with collapsed bearings which has now destroyed the rear hub.
Before I go to Mr BMW, I've been scouting ebay etc for 2nd hand hubs and have found one for a 2015 F800R which looks identical to the GS hub.

Does anyone know if these are the same parts and interchangeable.
Thanks in advance
Matt
