The front wheel on my '99 K12 is bent. I've been hoping to find one locally, but no luck yet.
I found one on fleabay from an '03 R1150R. Any idea if it will fit???

Thanks in advance-

The easiest way to find if a wheel will fit a different machines is to cross-check the part number between models or model years.

Use www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com, www.webparts.com or www.realoem.com

Checked, & the part numbers are different... The wheels sure LOOK the same ;)

So, onward to repair!

Thanks everyone - Have a great weekend!

bending your front wheel

is a part of life, bad pot holes....No big deal to have a reliable workshop fix it up for peanuts./ Leastways that is the way it has been for me. I have a small block and tackle in the garage and regularly inspect the front wheel

*update*

Well, I've decided to send the wheel to Woody's in Colorado for straightening.
I'm also going to look into some metal valve stems, with a 90 degree bend. Anyone had any experience with these?
The BMW parts fiche lists valve stem size as D 15, which I think means diameter???
The wheel will get balanced with the valve stem in place, then re-balanced after the tire's back on.
Thanks again for the help.
Looking forward to riding again soon!
