Hello everyone. 1st post here....
A few days ago, I picked up a pristine 2020 RTL that has one tiny flaw - the button cap of the turn signal switch is missing. In my pre-purchase research lurking on this forum, I found reference to an improved 3-d printed replacement in a thread from last year, and I'm wondering if anyone is still doing these, or if you upgraded yours, and have the factory button gathering dust and taking up space in your toolbox or junk drawer, would like to get rid of it.
I want to thank everyone here for making my transition from two wheels to three, much, much, easier. Between the info here, and some excellent YouTube videos, it wasn't long before riding my RTL felt natural. My biggest worry was the possible need to unlearn 55 years of two-wheel habits. After only a couple of days of riding the RTL, I'd lost the impulse to reach for the clutch and front brake handles, and cornering now feel completely natural. The Spyder is everything I'd hoped it would be, and an absolute blast to ride! Not only is it fun in the twisties, but it also eats up the miles on those long, straight, Arizona roads. It's been years since I had a bike that cruised along so comfortably at freeway speeds. And... OMG, reverse. I almost go out of my way to park somewhere just so I can back up.
The biggest drawback is that I've had to lash myself to the mast because I hear the accessory sirens calling to me. Being an ex-Harley rider, I know just how wallet draining this kind of bike can be, and my one horrible, horrible, weakness, is anything that lights up.
