After my recent encounter with Odocoileus virginianus I am faced with some major cosmetic repairs on my R1100RT-P. I'm shopping for fairing parts and while removing
the center piece where the headlight is, I discovered four small bolts holding the fairing to the headlight assembly which I removed the locking nuts from. There were also three bolts that hold the headlight assembly to the frame but they had no nuts on them!! Upon examination, it looks very difficult to replace the nuts if all done properly. My guess is the previous mechanic that worked on this bike felt the same way I do and simply did not replace the nuts on the frame part of the holding bolts.
Since this is a police bike, I thought they had always been BMW dealer serviced.
Anyone have any experience with this dilemma??
