Nice one and it looks the same colour combination as mine. It's called Black (Carbon-Schwarz metallic) but is actually a very very deep Navy Blue in the right light.
Ref lowered footpegs, below is a link to the set I bought from Amazon. They're every bit as good as the Wunderlich ones, but a fraction of the price.

If you are going to go down the lower footpeg route, a few tips.
1. Watch the Wundlerlich video on how to fit them a couple of times. It really is a good step by step explanation.
2. The footpeg pins that you have to drive out will have corrode and seized up. Apply several doses of penetrating oil over the preceding days will make it easier, but even then I suspect you'll still end up hitting them with a big hammer & drift. Clean, grease with waterproof grease before reassembly.
3. You'll nee a T47 Torx bit and extension to reach the bolt holding the RH footrest plate on. You reach the bolt head via the gap between the top of the exhaust and underside of the engine. Awkward, but not difficult.
4. The return spring for the hinged footrest is a real sod to put back on. The video shows it just clipping into place with a little bit of help from screwdriver. Me, I swore & cursed.
4. Make sure you've got a few spare circlips* for the said pins. One of mine went ping when I took it off and hasn't been seen since.
5. Lastly, the lowering kit pushes your feet out a little wider as well as lower. Personally I found this added to the comfort, but it does move your feet away from the foot controls a little. It doesn't seem to matter on the gear lever side, (and don't forget to adjust the gear lever down by a bit as well), but I found the rear brake lever no longer fell in the right position for my foot. After a bit of assuming I'd just get used to it, I didn't. In the end I ordered a brake lever extender to make it right, and they're not cheap, £60 from N.N.
Recalls. There are two applicable for this bike. One is for the aforementioned *circlips that hold the footpegs in place and the other is a software update; something to do with to do with monitoring the rear suspension. I got a letter about the circlips a week or so ago but only found out about the software update when I rang up to book the bike in for the circlip jobbie.
Shaft drive splines. Whilst I was chatting to the service guy about clips I asked about the splines as there are lots of contradiction kicking around the web and there are two issues going on. The first is to do with GS's and Police Spec RTs. These need to have a vent nipple fitted to the shaft drive housing, but this is not needed for civilian spec RT's. The second though does affect us. What they are now saying is that the shaft drive itself is becoming a 'service' part and now needs greasing at the 12 mile service point and replacing at 37k (or 50,000 KM). This is both good & bad news.
The bad news bit is BMW won't pay for greasing of the splines and they quoted me about £100 to do it. The good news bit is that because of the age of our bikes and the fact they've changed the rules since they were initially sold, they will replace the shaft drive at 37k and at their expense. If you buy a new bike now, you'll have to pay for it at 37k. Whilst I am quietly grateful for that, can you imagine the uproar if BMW told their car drivers they propshaft were only fit for 37,000miles and it was going to cost them £XYZ to replace.
to me all afternoon
