Re: MIRRORS

I don't like mirrors with restricted views or that vibrate at speed.


The ones on my new RT are probably the best I've ever had.  the only downside of them being mounted so low down is that I can't admire myself in them...

Re: Bluetooth with Zumo and Autocom

richardbd.  If you have your audio unit connected to the Autocom then so is the Nav V. You and your pillion should hear prompts. If you can't, disabled the Bluetooth in the Nav. Thanks RTman - I don't ride with a pillion so no need to worry re who hears what.  However, I'm not sur...

Re: Fresh blood! Considering purchasing an RT

My RT came with Z8s.  I have no reason to dislike or complain about them - but they simply don't inspire the same confidence the PR3s did on my Multistrada. Until I put the PR3s on the MTS, I'd always just replaced tyres with more of whatever the bike was originally shod with.  The...
