Re: First 2016 RT arrives in South Florida
HI Firenailer, My philosophy is simple when it comes to being seen. You can never be seen early enough. If I look like a comet ablaze from 5 miles down the road, Awesome! Stay the hell away from me. If someone is that close to my rear end at night and the light bouncing back is too bright for them, ...

Re: First 2016 RT arrives in South Florida
Update on the crash bars. I was way off, the label was on the inside of the left valve cover protector. They are KRAUSER bars. Sorry to have misled you. Had my first commute in one of our South Florida downpours. Set in rain mode, threw on the rain gear and off I went. Roughly 3 miles of local roads...

Re: First 2016 RT arrives in South Florida
There are 2 separate sets of "Tail Brights" on the back of the bike. 1 set for the panniers and 1 for the top box. Both are normally a mid gloss black except reflect white back at any light source. The fairing decals are also retroreflective and come from GS Stickerman The bars I ordered f...

First 2016 RT arrives in South Florida
The waiting is finally over. Picked up my new RT last Saturday after having to wait a week for the dealership to install the aftermarket bits. The "Platinum Bronze Metallic" is a very interesting color, as it looks Champaign in direct sunlight, but takes on a silver grey patina in the shad...

Re: Tarting up the grey.
Hey Crater, Thanks very much for the link. Had a bit of trouble putting the order through, seems their web site doesn't like all US browsers, but just got it done today. I ordered the black reflective to go with the new for 2016 "Platinum Bronze Metallic". I will probably have the decals b...

Re: Pannier bags
Got these at Amazon.com. Still waiting on the bike, but they seem to be well made, nicely lined and a lot cheaper than the BMW version. If you have a 2014-16 then the panniers and top box are the same as those fitted to the K1600's so don't let the description fool you. Bestem (LGBM-K16-TPL) Black T...

Re: Stebel replacement horn
Hi Barry, I know I'm way late to this discussion and you have probably figured out your preferred hook up. The way you originally wrote it up, there would be no CAN-BUS involvement. Just as an aside, if you can find a 2 piece horn (sound bomb) it is generally much easier to install in tight spaces. ...

Re: Tarting up the grey.
I'm liking the fairing graphics. Are they retro-reflective (reflect white when hit by light source)? Did you purchase or design them? If purchased, where? And lastly, do they come in black? I am waiting on the ship from Bremerhaven for my 2016 to arrive here in South Florida. Only down side is the n...
