    Default GPS Moved

    Last night I moved the GPS to a RAM mount on the top of the dash where I can see it. The factory wiring fit but I had to remove a lot of the Tupperware and one head light assembly to get into where I need to.

    Default review

    tasty selection of additions.My wife complains about the seat that she is sore after a ride. She sat on a Honda Gold Wing prior. I am wondering if the seat is softer and you do not feel the base of the seat.I have a 2012 limited in bronze and the seat looks dynomite but it is not good on the bottom side.so I shall investigate. Definitely need a electric air horn.. the Can Am fACTORY HORN SOUND SISSY!The pegs a ko but I had problems with Kyakan when parts broke and they models were take off the market they refused to acknowledge or help with an exchange.. so never a gain..

    Default Cable keeper

    Is the cable keeper an aftermarket fix or something custom you did?

    What exactly is the 'parking brake fix' and does it involve some sort of cable keeper?

    TIA,

    The parking brake fix is solving a recurring problem with the RTs Mainly it has to do with the cable coming unhooked from the wheel/motor that set it. Search the forum for "parking brake" and you'll see lots of posts.

    Default More recent Mods

    Added a few more mods in recent weeks. The most significant was installing 2-way ham radio. The radio I installed was the Yeasu FTM-10R. It's a bluetooth capable dual band VHF/UHF radio designed for motorcycles and ATVs. I installed the main chassis in the frunk and the control head on the original GPS mount on the handlebars. The antenna was installed in the unused mounting position opposite the factory radio antenna.

    I also installed a cup holder on the dash using RAM mount hardware. It works well, does not block gauges and does not swing when steering as it is not on the handle bars.

    I will post pictures in the near future.

    Just updated the initial list at the top of this thread. Next mod will probably be the Kewlmetal air box swap out followed by adding the hand brake. I just need to find some more cash.
