These?

From the 1250 RS accessories document, BMW also lists part no: 51257698204 which is described as repair kit for lock cylinder
What is that?

I've seen pictures of them as well. I'm wondering if anyone has seen them on the street or in a shop.

The BMW Motorrad catalog shows the three new available colors in it, including black, white, and gray. I have seen the black in person. I am just wondering if production of the white and the gray has not yet occurred, as this may explain the delay in BMW delivering them to the online retailer.

Those in the picture are definitely the granite gray.

The lock cylinder repair kit is an alternative to getting the VIN coded lock cylinder. It is essentially a lock cylinder, which is not yet constructed, and comes with several inserts that can be fed into the cylinder slots to match any key. It's basically a do-it-yourself match your own key cylinder kit. They are cheaper than the VIN coded lock cylinders, and can be ship immediately through an online retailer or local BMW dealer. My dealer said that he always orders that kit and codes it for the customer, because the VIN code cylinders have to come from BMW in Germany and take a couple of weeks to receive.

Oddly, my online retailer received my VIN coded lock cylinders from BMW before the asphalt gray cases. That is why I am wondering if they have not yet manufactured the asphalt gray lids. And by manufacturing, I do not mean molding them, but rather just painting them.

Do you happen to have the other pages from that book?

Here is the accessory document:

Is this coding of the locks something that one can do oneself, or does this
require a dealer to twiddle with?

It's actually very easy to do. I would have ordered the kit and done it myself except that I was planning a little trip and thought that the bags might arrive the day that I was intending to leave.

And if the cylinders are similar to prior year BMW cylinders, on each insert there's a number or letter imprinted, so once you get the right setting you can copy down the series of numbers or letters and each cylinder you program after that is easy as pie.
