Re: Engine bars

I went to order the heed bars! They don't have an option to post to the UK a bit of googling shows they have stopped posting to the UK since brexit  :-X


I have also notice that you have to buy extra brackets for the auxiliary lights

Re: Under seat storage

Re: Under seat storage

If your bike doesn't have the audio option fitted, there is some useful space behind the dashboard speaker grilles. I have an Airman compressor in one side and a basic toolkit and a few spare bulbs etc in the other. Everything is in heavy-duty ziploc bags. The torx driver under the seat can be used...

Re: Crash bars or head covers?

I just did exactly that. I went with Wunderlich engine bars for a couple of reasons.. the mounts seemed stronger than Ilium, and I had a couple of price-reductions that got them into the garage at about $40 US less than Ilium.

Under seat storage

I discovered today that the under seat storage is none existent on the RT! On the FJR I managed to get in a decent tool kit, stop and go puncture repair kit, Small air compressor and a tyre pressure gauge. I am struggling with the tyre pressure gauge on the RT  :)) I have seen one of these ...
