Holy crap Batman......so all that kit is for an 'Around the world trip' right  !!!

I always try to travel lean and light.

Excellent....thanks for that Steve

Yes, so much to see, but so little time. i'm looking forwards to going back though.

Me and SWIMBO also did the Normandy beaches in August. We Stayed in Rouen and did day trips out.

Thanks,

The picture shows those parts fitted to 2014 RTLC.

Here's mine. Sorry, no nice backdrop behind, but i'd just had it cleaned and ACF50'd by my dealer and she looks like new again.
First time its been this clean in months.

I like the look of those risers, and i'd buy them if i didn't also need the special tool that costs an extra $100.....bugger..

 

Thanks for letting us know about these parts, i'm gonna see if my UK dealer can supply them.

Shows what the new RT is capable of on track...Knee down..pegs down and ASC light flashing...

I dont look through the screen when riding, unless i'm just cruising the Motorway for maximum weather protection. and only if the screen is clean.


I find that i can find a better 'sweet spot' with the touring screen, which enables me to look over the screen and still have my helmet flipped up.

Cheers to all my RT chums, and a merry Yule and a great new biking year ahead... :D

Hello and welcome along Bud..

So far i've added the following to my fully specked RTLE


Arkrapovic Can
Wunderlich touring screen
LED Aux Lights
Fender extender
Cmark Crud catcher
Grip Puppies


Next? not sure, maybe HiD headlight upgrade, as i think i now have a pretty perfect bike.

I have found the OEM headlight to be adequate at night, after I'd adjusted it to my liking. However the low beam is never gonna be as bright as a xenon HiD....which might be my next mod.
I think the OEM twin highbeams are perfectly adequate though.

Regards.

Yes, the 660 is a Garmin and is basically a Nav 4 and is still a great bit of kit.
