When I bought my bike, somehow my salesman ordered me two machined fuel filler caps. I thought I would just list it here to see if I can move it. It’s new in the box and never installed or opened. This is the non locking model - part # 77352465703 $120 USD shipped

Has anyone had the sealing caps off? Are they a trim piece or do they have a purpose?

Update - paint correction is complete thanks to a friend and the bike looks great and freshly ceramic coated.

Thanks for the responses. I have a Triumph and the paint seems very hard and has very little to no swirls. The R18 is still a beautiful bike and I will just add a little maintenance to keep it looking great!

Anyone polish out the paint on your bike? If so, how did it go? The paint seems very soft and I can leave scratches in the clear coat with my finger. The tank has some swirling from the dealership showroom and want to correct the paint before ceramic coating.

I’m not sure if this is a problem with the design of the factory gas filler cap but wanted to share with everyone. When I was changing out to a new gas filler cap, I removed the snap ring and found the lock assembly full of ice/water (Garage is below freezing). Anyway it appears it’s possible...

Paint is required to complete the install. I did get a price from the dealer for paint and the classic white strips. This added additional cost to the kit. I don’t remember the quote because it included installation of the bobber kit. If memory serves me, like $300-$400 for paint and strips...

When I bought my bike in December, there was a deadline to place your order for the BMW bobber kit. The bobber kit if purchased by 12/10/21, BMW would ship in February 2022. The dealer said after that date, BMW was not making promises of deliveries in 2022. I’m sure this is all subject to...

I will be interested in the BT moto Brentune. I will keep an eye out for the special pricing.

Thanks! That is the one!

Congrats! It’s beautiful.
