I have them on my 2018RTL and am amazed at how much more comfortable they make the grips over long distance
ATGATT. Having gone down once on my old Yamaha 1300 just a few blocks from my home, and seeing the mess my leather jacket and helmet were while still fracturing 4 ribs and a shoulder and a headache...
Here in Southwestern Ontario, I also do not fully winterize my Goblin.... Stabilizer in the gas, battery maintainer year round. Had a beautiful ride in +13C weather on Christmas Day. We have had zero...
I have done the same thing, but I added my BSM's to the bottom inside corner of each regular mirror and then angled them wide.... I find this gives me great ability to scan both near and far at a...
Beautiful seat, and would be so awesome to have up here in Canuckistan, but the exchange rate and shipping to here would be crazy. Good luck!!
Have the old style angled one on my 18 RTL... never had any issue with my half cover fitting when I travel, or my full cover when in winter sleep in the garage.
My Mrs is 5-0 and 128 so, no problem with the backrest crowding her.
I have had a much different experience with the dealer I go to, who did my initial inspection on the sprocket on my 2018 RTL last fall (it was fine) while I waited about an hour, ordered my...
My 2018 in the weird gray/green colour that BRP insists is "Asphalt Grey", with the bug-eyed fog lights... is "The Goblin"
LOL The dealer asked me how I knew the weather would be so nice for my ride in, given I made the appointment in February.....
Rode 550km yesterday to see my dealer and have the sprocket fix done... glorious day in Southern Ontario!!
Here in Ontario, Canada, we have a graduated licence system for both cars and motorcycles. A written rule of the road test gets you an M1... you have 90 days to practice (only daylight, no freeways)...
Had my 2018 RTL inspected in October... mimimal wear. The new sprockets weren't in stock yet. Booked to have it done April 14th when I have spring service done.
My wife is an "hour there and back" passenger so...
I do a couple big trips a year with an eclectic group of guys on Spyders, a Victory, Goldwing, Concours, Triumph Speed Triple and assorted...
Had mine inspected last fall before winter shutdown here and it was fine, they didn't have the new sprockets in anyway yet.... called and booked mine in for replacement next month when hopefully the...

Mine is on a maintainer whenever I am not riding... 2018 still on the factory battery with no issues so I am quite happy with how it does.
I prefer having a GPS rather than using my phone for that purpose, not the least of which is I find the "temptation" to check other crap (texts especially) while riding to be a distraction, even...
My 2018 had a frunk with about 3 inches of water in it after a particularly nasty 36 hours of rain while parked on a trip through the Smokies. A buddy who was on the trip and owned the same RTL...
My first "bike" was a 2005 Tomas Moped... 50cc motor kited to do 70kph. I was turning 50 and decided if I didn't learn to ride now... when would I??
Bought a 2008 Honda Shadow Aero as my first...
Check out Leaders RPM online shop... great deals on "non-current" products, caps and t shirts right through to riding and rain gear and helmets. https://leadersrpmshop.com
Three years ago, I was riding a 2009 Yamaha Venture which I was finding increasingly difficult to handle at low speed/parking lot maneuvors.... last straw was when I caught my boot on the seat...
2005 Tomas 50cc moped that was modded so it would do 70kph...
For my 50th birthday I bought myself a 2008 Honda Shadow Aero 750 and got my licence on it (actually rode from Toronto to Glacier,...
It is why I checked if they had the "temporary fix" parts in stock before I brought mine in... otherwise I would've been 3 hours from home without a ride!
I drive 3 hours each way to Courtland for my servicing... they seem to be one of the better shops in southern Ontario to deal with for sure.
Your S2S will get here eventually, and you'll love...
2018 RTL with 34,000km on it... mine tested within specs, dealer doubts they will have the final parts available until fall sometime, put on recall list for when they come in. Only downside is...
If I have any luggage other than raingear or work clothes I have to change into, it is touring.
I bought mine sight unseen as well. After a couple decades riding 2 wheels, at 65 I was finding the weight of my Yamaha Venture to be a bit much in parking lot situations. I had guys I ride with who...
Whenever my spyder is at home in the garage the key hangs on a lanyard (actually both keys, on seperate lanyards) inside the front door of the house. Never have to worry about looking for it when it...
BRP Cruise in high vis for shoulder season, Vega mesh jacket for hot weather, Oxford Montreal 2 for when it is quite cool (longer than the Cruise) and a Motocentric 1 piece for days below the...
