Questions on the 2018 RT

[eddieshep999]

Just of a matter of interest A couple of questions
Hopefully those that have just got a 2018 model will de able to answer them

Does the Left hand saddle bag still have the bulge (it was for the earlier RT’s battery placement) but they moved the battery to the front of the 1330 models although they still had the bulge in the saddle bag in the 2016 models
It means the Left hand saddle bag cannot hold as much as the Right hand one

Are they still fitting Halogeon bulbs in the Headlights
Also Have they made it easier access to replace the Left hand side bulbs if fog lights are fitted
& they are halogen and an owner wants to replace them with Led’s

Are they still fitting standard bulbs in the rear indicators & reversing lights or do they now fit Led’s

Are the Mirrors still using those clips to attach them to the Tupperware

is the Indicator Switch more positive to use/cancel when riding

is the Horn still weak Many fitted Bad boy horns etc on previous models

I’m sure others may have more questions to add

Have yet to see a 2018 RT in the UK yet so I can’t check it out myself

I would have to say the right one is bigger

Also Have they made it easier access to replace the Left hand side bulbs if fog lights are fitted
& they are halogen and an owner wants to replace them with Led’s Don't know

Are they still fitting standard bulbs in the rear indicators & reversing lights or do they now fit Led’s Don't know

Are the Mirrors still using those clips to attach them to the Tupperware Don't know

is the Indicator Switch more positive to use/cancel when riding Doesn't fell like it, but still getting used to it.

is the Horn still weak Many fitted Bad boy horns etc on previous models No, sounds much louder

I’m sure others may have more questions to add

Left-hand saddlebag bulge: present!
Halogen bulbs in headlights and foglights? yes
Access to them remains just as "fun" as ever... :banghead:
The mirrors? Order your Magic Mirror kit right now! nojoke
The turnsignal switch works just like my old bikes: just fine!
And order your Stebel Nautilus horn also!
