2018 R1200RT "Cowling" Removal

[Don Miller]

Regarding the silver cover/nosepiece on the fairing, I removed the two stainless steel screws and the two coarse threaded black screws & inserts but the cowling is still being held in place. What is further required to remove it?

I remember doing this, and looking how best to remove the two rivet-screws on the cover’s lower front side.

FWIW, in removing the windscreen cover, to “Remove body-bound rivet (2)”, which has an odd head, once I got the first one out, saw what it looked like, then I used a small flat blade screwdriver to back out the “weird screw”, then it popped right out.
