You look pretty well fully accessorized as it is!
Got my letter in the post yesterday. No mention of accessory value on it. Will look at sorting it sometime over winter, not in any rush.
I agree with Viking Power. Maybe RS mirrors and cylinder’s head covers?

I'm shooting for the 719 seat, which I should have pulled the trigger back in 2023 when the seat was closer to $600 vs $1,300...
I vote RSD machined mirrors & reservoir tank covers.

I'm thinking add cash and get the bobber kit.

I'm not sure if BMW will consider the TC Auxiliary Light and associated hardware as an accessory... I'm guessing "no"..
In short, the TC parts marry up nicely with the Model B; I've added the Auxiliary Lights, mounting bracket, new blinkers, etc.. Winglets and Lower Leg Wind Protection

How did you receive the credit? My dealer or BMW Motorrad both told me they don't know of any credit or incentive due to the reverse recall.
If you do get any compensation, it will be most likely a credit to spend in store, i.e, you will have a credit to spend on BMW accessories. In this way, the company minimises its losses.
Highly unlikely they will give you cash to spend elsewhere.

As an example, my dealership performed the Reverse Recall work; afterwards, I placed an order for the Model B 719 heated seat which has a retail cost of ~$1,300.
I only had to pay the difference of $230, minus the $1,000.
I took my second R18 in for the same recall; I purchased two sets of the RSD machined hand levers which totalled out just under $1,000 - so, I didn't have to pay any out of pocket expenses for the R18 accessories.
The compensation credit ONLY applies to R18 Accessories.

Any chance of posting a pic of the letter? I haven't got one yet and my dealer is clueless
I emailed BMW Motorrad Head office. Took a while to get a response, but they echoed what everyone else has said on the forum in terms of compensation.

Don’t think it ever existed.

I'm not even sure why it's (air box cover) a thing... I don't think it is an easy item to see. On my First Edition Model B, it's two chrome plastic pieces...
