Re: RTLC Rider footrest lowering kit from Amazon.co.uk
Does anyone know if Wunderlicht manufacture themselves, or is this the same product from the same factory without going to Wunderlicht first?

Re: Handlebar Muff's

Great run today, and as usual met some nice like minded guys. Stopped at the "Green Welly" and two RT's pulled in, Black one & Red one, they were heading North, forgot to ask if they were members... Stopped near Bridge of Orchy on route to Glen Coe, took this pic there. Round trip of 2...

Re: Shift up indicator
On my 2020 it appears to be for economy, not sure of the parameters used but similar to my wife's car. If your light on the throttle it suggests shifting up. I switched mine off, found it distracting having an orange light / symbol appearing on the dash...... as with you, I know when to shift

Re: What did you do today?
Wee run up to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter fame) and back. 300 mile round trip for me, stopped in Gen Coe on the way back, clouds were touching the mountains so very dramatic. Traffic was quite busy but moving well.... cracking day, 15 deg c in the glen and 24 deg when back down. Loads of bi...
