A baxley or similar chock stand works well.
Only one long bolt, for the front bracket to the engine.
Then 4 black screws to each of the belly pan holes.
The 2 clip nuts are for the front bracket for 2 of the black screws.
The rubber bushings are threaded already, the other 2 black screws fit there.
The longer rubber bushing goes on the brake side.
Hope this helps. |
peterz,
helps heaps and thank you so very much. Upon debagging, everything became rather obvious. I didn't see the bushings were fitted with threaded inserts. The trial fit revealed an approximate 15-20mm gap on both sides between the pan and bushings. It appears to be a prime location for some type of isolator or rubber anti-vibe spacer? Also, the sidestand makes contact with the pan, but I believe there's a resting bracket or some sort of snubber for it to lean against when retracted as it made metal/metal contact which just isn't BMW-like. What does your sidestand rest against and does your pan fit flush up against the bushings? - If so, I reckon this fiberglass repro has a rather robust tolerance spread which will require me to fab up some spacers. No big wow.
Also, you're spot on with the requirement for some type of auxiliary stand. Here's a couple of shots of my skeleton bike on its abba stand.
