    Default Found! - Front Cargo Light

    I found my front cargo light! I've looked for it several times. The engine has to be running for it to work. Why would you have to start the bike to have the light (as useless as it is) on? It does not make sense. It should turn on with the key in the "ON" position. Well --- I found it anyways.

    Yep! I had to ask Lamont where it was, even after I had the Spyder running. A Boy Scout with one match in the middle of a dark forest puts out more light. BTW, it should work during the delay after you shut the engine off...but so do the headlights, so you don't need it. Come to think about it, with the engine running, the headlights are on, so you still don't need it. Nice thought...poor execution. Keep a MagLite in the frunk!

    My RT-S, which is advertised as having a frunk light actually does not. My dealer called to find out why, and it turns out BRP discontinued it on the late 2010 models. Got the big travel cover, too. Maglite in the frunk, yes sir!

    no frunk light big cover being swapped by dealer for travel cover (more of use to me). have large covers for garage already...

    the liner is fully covering the inside. is the frunk light behind the zip in liner? I am guessing no light ... wonder if the wring is there to tap for a light or may go ghetto and just get a stick in battery led light disk.
