Title: Bosch spark plug caps needed
Post by: dsrdave on March 27, 2015, 02:50:19 PM: I'm looking for several of the original Bosch metal plug caps. Don't have to be new just good undamaged used one's. Let me know if you have any laying around. Thx, Dave.

Theyre still available from any dealer and many aftermarket suppliers-

BMW 13 12 12 8 036 157

You can see one here but I'm not sure it's genuine. BMW still stocks the Beru.

Oh, they're ok unless you ride in the rain, and a Harley guy told Dorcia and I that you'd have to be a FOOL to ride in the rain.. ;D

I tossed a bunch of them myself, now I want then all back for a "proper" restoration. They look cool when restored and they are correct for the bikes. Thx, guys.
