The New RT has arrived
Purchased my new 2020 today. There have been a bunch of comments made by those that have seen the new ones that there appear to be some fit and finish problems where the rear sub-assembly meets up to the back of the seat. After looking at it today and talking to my dealer it appears the base pan from which all of the rear pieces bolt to is misshapen from the factory and the bolt holes do not line up. There was a corporate meeting yesterday where this problem was discussed because many dealers are calling in about it. The pan itself was held on by zip ties because the bolt holes do not line up so somebody in the assembly line actually knew this was happening and let it go. The tech line seemed genuinely surprised and after hearing many phone calls from dealers are working on it as we speak. The pan itself causes the bolts not to lineup and is causing the gaps that everybody is seeing.
Aside from that I am absolutely in love with this machine. I will not be taking delivery for another month or so because even though we’ve had very little snow in Buffalo we still have salt on the roads for another 5 to 6 weeks. The way I fit on this machine is how I tried to adapt and change my original three RT’s to be. I tried different seats, handlebar positions, floorboards, etc. and I’m telling you that for somebody my size ( I am 6 foot two 275 pounds with long legs) I fit this machine and the handlebars and the foot position like it was designed for me. I am still not a fan of the revamped instrument cluster and I will be using my own GPS. Can’t wait for spring!
