My Initial Impressions of The 2018

[Bob Denman]

They're delivering it as soon as there's a break in the weather, and the roads clear up. :thumbup:

Bob,

:congrats: waiting to hear the ride reports. As soon as the snow disappears, and the roads are clear of salt, brine.

We want to see the pictures of the your new 2018 :spyder2: in your driveway.

The BRP logos front and back should have been in gold not chrome ! Ride is looking good !

 

[Deanna777]

I think that "The Dashboard" should have been painted "GOLD" to match the other accents. Just a pop of color in that area.

I am kind a partial to the painted dashboard. Look at my "Threads started or any of my posts!

The trim around it is... :thumbup:

While you're looking at it: notice the two extra speakers up front!

And to let everyone hear the answer (with an explanation...)
The new system sounds much crisper, and can take a whole lot more volume; before starting to sound distorted. :clap:
The addition of those two extra speakers (Just about where the old analg gauges used to sit) really make a huge difference.
(The other four speakers are still in the same place as ever!)
Not only can you adjust the front to rear fade: you can also tinker around with the left to right balance!

Bob, I think BRP wised up and got better speakers .... I heard " Hot Glues " F-3 speakers and they were very close to mine in sound volume and quality ..... definitely NOT the ones that were in the 14 - 17 RT ..... So I 'm sure yours now has the F-3 speakers :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:......... Mike :bbq:

Did you know that there was a Country singer named "Slim Pickins" ??

Cruzr Joe

Slim Pickins (Louis Burton Lindley Jr.) was an actor, not a singer.

For the Official record , the Dealer bolted on the following farkles for me:
TricLEDs front fender lighting
TricLEDs saddlebag side marker lights
TricLEDs 3rg & 4th Brakelights
TricLEDs Rear saddlebag brake, turn-signal and marker lights
TricLEDs LED headlight and fog-light bulbs
Spyderpops lighted Bumpskid
BajaRon's Anti-SwayBar and Heim Links
Baker Built Highway bars with Lamonster Garage Chevron pegs
Roadster Renovations Belt vibration damper

I've got a few things here at home that I'll be adding to the mix: I let them do the "heavy lifting" for this one!

 

[DGoebel]

Damn Bob, you've got a Great choice in Farkles AND a dealer to install it all. (I bet you give them a Christmas bonus or something....)

 

[Bob Denman]

I DID sell seven bikes for them last year...

what did you find out about the different light bulbs in the fog lights?

 

[HankD]

I think people are thinking of Slim Whitman the singer?
