Whenever I buy something from the dealer for my hexhead I feel like I've been taken. The dealers are sure proud of their parts (and service). It should be noted that it isn't only BMW; my local Subaru dealer stiffs me for parts all the time too.

I should have been more specific, as there are better deals on ebay, etc, if you can find what you're looking for. For the R1200R aftermarket parts aren't all that common since it's such a new bike.

To have something like that happen with no known cause would frustrate the hell out of me. One would expect there to be a specific cause(s). I know life just doesn't wrap itself up neatly all the time, but it would still be frustrating as hell.

Yes. Yes it was.
