This is what German Engineering should have been. A sanitary design that WILL stop the leaks from the over-engineered factory oil plug. Just remember to keep the cap key/wrench in your tool kit ON THE BIKE! Very nice product.
Great Fix to a common problem.

Installed as per directions (yeah waited the entire 24 hours for the Locktite to cure) during my last 6,000 mile maintenance. Very happy with the results - leaking problem cured! The BMW dealers kept telling me it was all about the "O" ring on the cap - heck they don't seem to know there is an "O" ring in the fitting the cap attaches to. Shame on them and kudos to Wunderlich for this product. BMW ought to send one to every R-type bike owner with an apology. Good engineering is what we buy BMWs for and the OEM oil fill plug and fitting is long past due for this type of upgrade. Ordering one for my wife's R-bike too!

In 2005 I was on my 1150GS crossing the Mauritian Desert when my oil plug first started leaking. Over the last 8 years I have tried everything from changing the plug to new o-rings and nothing worked, the only temporary fix was the one I used crossing Africa and that was a healthy dose of teflon tape. Well last week my wife was in shock that after 8 years I finally found a permeant solution, literally she was shocked that it took me 8 years to find a solution to keep oil off of my leg. Needless to say the Wunderlich plug worked awesome. My only complaint is I wish they had an option for an allen fitting as opposed to the special key, I am not really worried about someone stealing the cap.

1 month later and bone dry. Nice

I purchased this part to hopefully seal my oil fill from leaking for ever. The pieces are very well made, fit nicely and look great. I do not care about having a tamper proof oil fill however. I would much rather have a no-tool access fill. I have this horrible feeling that I\'ll be on the road, far from home, and need to add a little oil, but will have misplaced or lost the special tool. I will probably end up fabricating a part to access without a tool before my next long ride.

Takes around 20 minutes to install,the hardest part is to push the top part in place,after that goes like "oiled"I did not opened it sice install,but will write more feedback after the first use(opening-closing the cap)very satisfied at this point!

After installing this item 13 months ago it failed with oil leaking all over the valve cover. Attempted reinstallation failed as well with the plug and locking ring refusing to seat securely in the valve cover oil filler orifice. Replaced OEM part. Not impressed at all with this item although it appears beautifully made.
no leaks but not perfect.

after installed there is no leak anymore. but it wasn\'t easy installing it, putting the adapter into place and fitting the small locating pin was not easy, I had to use a plastic hammer to push it into place. then the helper screws together with a screwdriver is not the best way to tighten it up. the small screw in the inside was almost impossible to handle. buy two the opening tool. the one I had was just tight to my keychain and the pin in it just disappeared and I couldn\'t use it and had to use a screwdriver to open the cap, had to order a new tool from wunderlich. I bought two this time, but now because I used a screwdriver the tool doesn\'t fit well anymore. I wanted to have a spare cap, only the upper cap, but wunderlich do not sell them separately. what do you do if you loose it?? you have to buy the whole kit again just to have a spare. and again, when installed its a very good solution to this leaking problem.

No more leaks. Just remember to bring the key with you. Getting my old factory seal out was a bear, but after that it was easy.
