Welcome to the forum and the lovely RTs

I was pleased to pick up a low mileage 1200RT-P affordably, figuring I was an area day tripper only. The lean look, bulk and weight suited my aspirations. It has so far also been just right for how I use "Leo". However, plans change ... I am now considering some overnighters and possible 3...

Britney, AOC ... I'm sure you could come up with several along that line.

I have a BMW tank bag that was supposed to fit Leo, but I need to fabricate both front and rear brackets for the straps to hook to. I decided "not now". With the Tupperware off, I mounted a drink holder. It was challenging to find an out-of-the-way place that would also be handy for quick ...

I went through the Tupperware removal maze to replace my low beam bulbs. Unfortunately, they still shed no light. Then I resorted to the very little research it took to find there are no fuses. It is probably a computer controlled fault. Crumb! How to I approach getting low beams and/or running ligh...

Welcome to the RT forum.

A couple of things I am interested in - probably not alone in this.

Whereabouts are you?

I picked up an extremely-low mileage 2009 R1200RT-P (patrol version). I'm guessing it was the exclusive steed of the supervising patrol sergeant and got traded in with the rest of the fleet when they aged out. Anyway, it is a lovely bike, though I now would prefer having the side cases and passenger...
