After my most recent maintenance adventure with my bike over 2 years, I lost track of the location of two screws. I HAVE THE SCREWS IN MY HAND. All holes are filled on bike. I can't imagine my model bike is the only one it fits on. Note the extend head or flat under the head. I'm at a complete loss where it goes.

If you're holding them in your hand, give them a good look and compare them to any other screws on your bike. Sometimes they're interchangeable between different spots. And if you're still scratching your head, swing by a local shop for some advice.

Go on over to the MAX website and select "Parts", then "Original Parts Fiche" https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/partsfiche.aspx ... select your bike from the list (third column from the right and second from the bottom) to peruse the various sections for bolt locations.
Sometimes people say I have a couple of screws loose; I guess that's better than missing a couple of nuts...

Looks very similar to the wheel speed sensor screw part # 34 21 2 331 028?
Close, never had the wheel sensors off.

Those look like 46 61 2 315 376 screws from an R100GS, which have plastic trim caps that go over the heads.

Looks like some body plastic securing screws. I've had them where they are very similar to others, just vary in length a tiny bit. Of course, the shorter ones fit where the longer ones are supposed to go. Maybe some body part that you've already secured is layered over someplace those are supposed to go, so it's not obvious by looking for an empty hole?

What is the drive type? The screws I cited have cross/Pozi/Phillips heads.

It's a total match for that trim bolt. Two lengths available; 16mm in gold finish and 20mm in silver finish per the MAX website. The 20 is only used on the GS and the 16 is also used for F650CS license plate holders. That's according to the fiche; reality might be different and someone used them on your RT's license plate or something like that.

That kind of make sense with the diameter of the screw under the head would fit right into a license plate hole. I'll have to look at it tonight. Good job Sherlock!

Didn't realize that the link doesn't go through to the page needed. Go to group 46 and then the INSTRUMENT CARRIER, FACELIFT page.
