    BMW mechanic in Nelson?

    Hi all. I'm looking for someone to replace the drive shaft in my R1100GS. I've got the replacement shaft already. Was going to do it myself but would need to buy a couple of decent torque wrenches and other odd tools I don't have already. If anyone would be keen to assist with tools and a hand I'll buy the beers

    Apparently there's no official BMW service in Nelson any longer. I know lots of shops might say they can do the job but BMWs are a bit "unique" so I'd prefer to at least have an independent reference and hopefully avoid handing over a pile of cash (and my bike!) to some monkey.

    Cheers,
    Greg
