Awesome.  Anxious to see what you come up with.

The only problem I would see is that your pillion would get nothing from the audio unit as you have to switch off BT .  Then again unless she is getting it relayed from your headset there is no connection now. Also the 2273 or 5 are not tidy cables with 4 leads at one end and I can't remem...

Yes it will work :-) But what about a Bluetooth module connected into the speaker-cables so you could connect two Bluetooth headsets into it (the Bluetooth dongle) and use your wonder-wheel to control volume :-) That's an interesting idea, didn't realize that solution existed.  You must be...

That's a sweet looking bike.  I chose the platinum bronze metallic, but like the ebony equally well.

Currently have Scala Rider Q3 bluetooth kit and factory Alpine radio in 2016 RT.  Everything, including Nav V, Phone, Radio is paired via bluetooth.  I am satisfied overall with the setup, and it works reliable other than these 2 issues: Audio quality of the music is poor. Cannot ...

What is the year/model of your bike?

That would be handy for the roadside toolkit as well.  I try to carry just enough to do very basic repairs, including removing both wheels (worst case scenario).

I have the display setup to show the digital spedometer, I find this much easier to read than the analog dial.  When I turn the radio on, it takes over the display, showing the radio station, song, etc...  Does anyone know if it's possible to have the radio on but not have it take ...

That puts a lot of force through the bolt that holds the centre stand on. It's probably alright for the slimmer ones but for some of us, I'm not so sure it's a good idea... I'm guessing the shear strength of that bolt is at least double the weight of the bike, and probably more.  My bigger...

I learned something new today, it may be old news to many of you, but thought I would share anyway. How many of you have dragged your boot heel across the top of the pannier and scuffed it while mounting your RT?  A friend told me I should try mounting the bike by grabbing handlebars, stand...

[size=2px]Major differences.  The bike was redesigned in 2014, most notably introducing the liquid-cooled boxer engine.  I don't think you would go wrong with a 2012, but more horsepower and other upgrades from 2014 on.  Oddly enough, wikipedia has a decent explanation of...

Thanks for the 10% tip. Brad I should have said "my dealer gave me 10% off accessories", I don't think it's a guarantee, but I would certainly ask.  Also, if you are not currently familiar with Garmin basecamp, I'd suggest you download and start practicing.  It takes a w...

You will be far more happy going with the fully integrated Nav V, it's worth the money.  Dealer will usually give you 10% off on any accessories purchased with a new bike, so now is the time to do it.

Save yourself a lot of money and order from KFM, http://www.kfm-motorraeder.de/   The installation is very easy and will take you about 20-30 minutes.  The exact parts you need are: 77 51 8 520 044  (brake light) 46 54 8 522 938  (chrome lid trim) Just be sure you...

The Pyramid one might be inexpensive but it's not a tatty item.  It's a perfect fit and match and doesn't resemble a shovel attached to the bike.  No chips on the engine after 2 years says it works.  Cost me £12 and 20 minutes work. RTMan - I received my Fenda Extenda in ...
