A few weeks ago after reading Herr Fluffmeister's post about panel fitting on the new watercooled RT, I noticed that the rubber grommet what's missing from my bike, it was a Saturday morning so I called my local Kent-based BMW dealer, to be told they didn't have any in stock and they were £1.05 each, and would I like to order some, (I was going to ride up to 75 miles to get one), I said yes, gave my name and number, and they said they would call back later in the week.
Having experienced the service from them in the past I also called Rainbow BMW in Rotherham, and found that the same grommets were 63p each, and whilst they didn't have stock I would order son and pop them in the post as soon as possible.
I made a temporary repair with duct tape, and on Wednesday of that week the Rainbow delivery arrived with two grommets and I fitted one the same day.
It's been nearly a month and I still haven't heard back from the other dealer.
I now have my bike serviced in Braintree and one of my friends and I are going up in a couple of weeks time , to have a bike serviced and I suspect he will end up buying a new bike from them as he is fed up with waiting for our local dealer to get back to him.
