I have a 2002 R1150R with the Touring windshield and there appears to be a
coating of some kind on the back side of the windshield.
Recently I have noticed that the coating appears to be cracking and it is
not
as clear as it use to be. I was able to take some metal polish and rub
the
coating away but it is a lot of work.
Has anyone had this kind of problem and have a solution to return the
windshield so it is clear again?
Also, I had my front brake pads replaced on Saturday and I was presented
with
a bill of $189.00 just for the pads themselves! I know it has been awhile
since I have replaced pads on a BMW and it was a R1100R but I think they
were
only about half as much. How much are BMW replacement brake pads for the
front only?
After I inquired about the price the service manager said they also have
EBC
pads which were about $100 cheaper but he said they didn't last as long,
made
noise, etc. He said if it was him and it was the back brakes he would
replace
them with EBC pads, but he wouldn't put them on the front. Was he just
trying
to put on over on me?
