This issue turned out to be another `head scratcher` for me. For some mad reason BMW in their infinite wisdom uses two circlips to hold their screen pivot pins in place. This would be normally quite fine but mine broke within a few thousand miles and the pins fell out leaving me with an inoperable screen! They seemingly just `crumbled` or snapped.
I also started to hear about other lads who had the same problem - it fast became a not infrequent issue on the new LC bikes.
I replaced them with a couple of nuts and bolts but it really was a cheap crappy way to sort out the problem especially on such an expensive bike. So at last I came up with a `purpose made` shouldered pin with a hole in the end for an `R` clip.
All made from Marine Grade stainless steel and about 5 minutes to fit. Replaces the original stuff and much more reliable.
Fits both the GS and GSA screens.

just in time!
I bought these on a whim when ordering other windscreen parts, but when I started removing the old pivots one circlip just crumbled in half! This bike has always been in dry Arizona, so I was surprised to see it fail like that. The new pin fits nice and tight, and I feel better knowing the new parts are stainless.

Perfect solution
This is the ideal solution to one of BMW's few, irritating R1200GS LC design weaknesses. It took no more than 5min to fit and, I think, is reasonably priced too. RECOMMENDED.
