Feeler for custom transmission input shaft

Maybe someone might be interested.

History: Back in 2008 I offered an improved input shaft for the Oilhead 6 speed transmission. There was little interest at the time as there had been relatively few failures. (My machine had higher mileage than average) and the cost was higher than BMW OE due to low production quantities. I did not get enough commitments to do a production run of 10 pcs. See this link: https://advrider.com/f/threads/impro...ission.301863/



Present: BMW has backordered the shaft #23 21 7 651 172 and the MAX fiche has the following note: “02/2018 - manufacture backorder, no ETA.” . I contacted my local dealer and they advised me that there were over 200 on backorder in Germany as of mid Nov 2018
Consequently, I am getting requests to purchase the improved model from North America as well as Europe.

I am willing to resurrect this project if I can get firm commitments to do a batch run of 10pcs.

Some specifications:
- Replaces BMW p/n 23 21 7 651 172. Fits all R1150 6 speeds
- Shaft material is harder than OE and splines have reduced backlash to further reduce wear.
- Professionally manufactured to ISO9001, API Q1 & AGMA standards by a large North American Manufacturer.
- Original prototype now at 126,000mi (203,000km) in my own machine
- By combining with the Extended Hub Clutch Disc from Beemerboneyard an additional 6mm of spline area can be achieved for a total of 12mm.

Price: $855usd insured postage included to the contiguous USA. Paypal Accepted.

If you are interested I would require a deposit of $250usd each. Once I reach 10 commitments, delivery would be 8 weeks for the order. All deposits would be refunded if I could not reach target in 2 months.

That is a very good price if it will work in the R1100s. I tried to have this done a little over a year ago and the price was too high to move forward with it.

I ended up putting a clutch plate in with an extended hub, to repair my clutch spline failure. I do believe a longer shaft is the proper fix though.
