New farkles added to bike today.

I have a 2012 RTS and I didn't like the 2 front painted rims, so I purchased the Chrome rims on Ebay and had the dealership put them on today. They really do sparkle up the front of the bike. So from me, 2 :thumbup::thumbup:.

why would you want chrome wheels and a hand brake? its a honest question. you have to clean chrome more often, you could be riding not cleaning and why do you need a hand brake? what is wrong with the electronic one?

Nothing's "wrong"'with the electronic one... But I like the feel of a hand brake. Chrome is just a personal preference. I don't mind cleaning it.

so I lets leave the Chrome thing aside, so when you say hand brake you meen adding a right hand brake handle right? this is not for parking it is for normal braking?

If that is the case would that be for front only or for all brakes? would that get rid of the foot pedal brake? I take it that someone has a kit out there for this?

Now I am curious to see hao far they have thought this out.

Congrats..!!

the chrome is really nice and adds to the chrome already on the roadster. The painted work much better on the RS/RSS models which have no other chrome trim.

As to the hand brake..it can only work the same as the foot brake. You can not (as yet no one has I think) separate the system. The kits available only actuate the foot system...

Pic's would be nice..!! :thumbup:

Hi Shawn,
Chupaca is correct. It's a kit that actuates the foot brake. When you depress the hand brake, you can see the foot brake going down too.

Great for us lazy people that don't want to take their feet off the highway pegs!
