Result, dealer advised that the OEM default profile can be adjusted on the 2021 RT. It has a number of options which I'll confirm on Friday when the centre stand gets replaced.I'll try and take a screen shot of the options if anybodies interested. Happy days I would like to see that please Greengra...

I've got the BMW factory fit option of the Akrapovic titanium HP muffler, pops/bangs/crackles on upward gear changes and throttle closed deceleration, absolutely GREAT.

My 2020 RT is Mars red, I wanted to buy some touch up paint and was informed by Wolverhampton and Chester Motorrad dealers that BMW don't do touch up paint  :alas: , if anyone can find different please advise on this thread.

My initial thought was it looks like it might be part of the windscreen lift mechanism ?

Thanks chaps for your advice, yes, I thought it would be the prongs into grommets but now I know !
Yes, I love the Mars red colour, that's my previous bike, my current one is also Mars red but with a load of extras.

Can someone please tell me how this panel comes off ?  Dave 
will know I'm sure.

Yes David, seen that, can take up to 7 months (if they cough up), meanwhile I've got to pay out again for a new policy elsewhere. :sueno:

Anyone else in the UK like me in the nightmare scenario with MCE insurance underwriters going into administration and cancelling all policies on 31/01/2022, my policy was  due to run until September. Looks like I can probably kiss that money goodbye.

I'm only guessing but I bet the worst age group for motorcyclists is the born again 40 + year olds on sports bikes. Been there and survived. The 60 + age group if they have made it this far must have learnt enough to stay out of trouble. So saying to them no test rides is a little ridiculous. Plus ...

Thanks again David and Michaelc

Thank you so very much David, well done, looks a pig of a job 'eh, I scratched mine badly in an argument with a stone pillar, a respray or a new panel @ £184 needed.
