Removing the rear (ESA) shock from 2012 BMW R1200RT - K26

Unfortunately the stock shock is worn down and it started leaking. A replacement from Wilbers is already ordered and the shop will have to convert some of the ESA motors from the old shock onto the new one.
So in this video I'm taking the shock out, hopefully next video will show you the new shock and the assembly process.

Removed rear shock on my 2012 RT today. Took about 20 minutes. There is no need to remove any plastic. I removed rear wheel, exhaust with flapper valve, rear mudguard (front part, two bolts), plastic plate with two ESA connectors, to access second connector latch. That's it. T50 for bottom bolt, L-type T50 and M15 for upper bolt. RSD says same. T45 for exhaust. T20 for that plastic plate with connectors, described here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV6mlJ2wnr-Dmrs

Hi @bozperu3436, I've had to use Google Translate to be able to read your question but it seems you are looking for a replacement shock like the one I installed. I have no idea if you can get it in Peru, but the one I bought is from Wilbers, which is located in Germany. Another option might be Tractive (a bit more expensive) and I see those are sold by BeemerShop.com, which is a lot closer to your location. Good luck!
