Not as far as I know Dicky. I think it was simply a spacer or similar. Ive not had any knocking in traffic thought

A tad unfair I think Kev. At least BMW take the trouble to recall and fix bikes if they suspect they might have a problem rather than some other well known maufacturers who would rather just let you find out by yourself. Obviously its no fault of theirs when sub frames snap or suspension fails, its the fat bu**ers who sit on them
