Coconut :

Thank you - You are Da Man !

So, if anyone in the UK orders that part from Motoworks, I would be interested in knowing if it's a curved molded rubber part that is shaped like the Motoworks pic or flat on both sides like the Max BMW BMW PN pic.  Maybe the Motoworks part is a replacement for te BMW part even tho Motoworks calls out the BMW PN in addition to their own PN ( ?? ).

After an acquaintance had his GPS stolen off his bike last Summer I started looking for a way to secure mine to the bike.  I found a product called Zumolock.  It is made in the Netherlands and cost me about $83 delivered to the US.  It took me about ten minutes to install.  They make them for several Garmin Zumo models.  It won't stop a determined thief with some time and tools, but it will frustrate the casual thief.  The website is in the photo.

Not sure there is one available however I think you can get it reconditioned, I have an old dead one, I've donated to group, yours for price of postage, if you wish to recondition it when done use it to replace your old one, then donate that one to group

Just a quick question on this subject, my TTSE  just failed its MOT because of this issue at 31k. I was wondering if it is possible to replace the unit with an aftermarket unit?

Looks like it's  BMW PN 23417650149.

Max BMW has them available for $3.32 here in the States.

If I see any corrosion of the ball & socket in the future, then I'll order a set.

The a Max BMW looks a little different than the pic at Motoworks.

I would use a slight smear of silicon dielectric grease. 

I used that on the air filter gasket surface, too.  And I had a problem with the air filter sliding into the airbox when I did the valve adjust : it just didn't feel right and there is no way to visually check to see if the air filter was properly  sealed after sliding it in the air box.  So I secured the air filter to the holder with some small sheet metal screws before I slipped it in the air box.  Felt a lot more "proper" after I did that.

SNIP ......

So was it worth it? Well, yes and no. I found that some of my fears was unfounded cause most things were o.k. except from the hose and dirty throttle bodies. Also I no longer fear doing the job.

Nice job.  " So was it worth it ?"   Are you sleeping better at night ?  I would be.
