Hey all,
My new-to-me GS comes pre-scratched so I want to replace a few bits and pieces so I can drop it and scratch it myself.
The bike comes with the OEM protectors (https://www.bahnstormer.co.uk/product/bmw-cylinder-head-protectors/) and I've got myself the replacement plastic. I'm just hoping someone has replaced the plastic before. I can see that it just clips into holes in the metal but it's not clear if I can prise the old one out with the protector still on the bike, or if I need to take the protector off. It doesn't come off readily pulling with fingernails but I don't want to turn a 2 minute job into a longer one if I can help it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
