Anonymous asked: Hello from Cartagena. We are traveling from Buenos Aires to Florida USA. Now final drive bearing from our BMW R1200GS (2004) is broken. Next week we come to Panama with Stahlratte and are in Panama City 20th of Feb. Plan is to replace whole final drive unit with used one from USA /Europe. Do you know any address in Panama City where we can send the used final drive unit and is there any good mechanic if we have to change only the bearings and seals? Thanks in advance, Heikki & Ulla from Finland
There is a BMW dealership in Panama City and they service motorcycles. Before you order and ship a final drive you might check if they have one. They could certainly install it if you do need to ship it down.
Anytime I need to ship something to Panama I use a company called Airbox Express. You might be able to set up something with them. They would bring your package and hold it in their office until you can pick it up. Or find out if you can ship to the BMW dealership in Panama City and have them hold the part for you.
Good luck look me up when you’re in David.
