Has anyone got this combination fitted to their LC ?
They fit fine but I have noticed the left crash bar is closer to the head than the right one. This means that the left X head cannot be removed for servicing without taking the crash bar off. Unless I have fitted somthing wrong.

if by SW you mean SW Motech, I found the right side was closest. I always removed mine before taking it in to BMW for a service.

Mine has this combination. just returned from service-no comment about it from mechanic so I'd assume ok.

I suppose it depends if the service includes removing the plugs or checking the valves gaps.
If not then they dont remove the X heads.
I will do as Shakey suggested and remove the bars prior to service.
