Ditto on the third brake light on the trunk and heated seats...

I'd also like:
- Stiffer adjustable swaybar
- Rear facing turn signals in the mirrors
- Rear fog lights (I like to be seen in the rain...)

However...if the factory offered all of that then I'd have nothing to add on myself, which I enjoy doing. I think all of the above can be accomplished with aftermarket items.

We just ordered a RT-S Saturday. The first thing we talked about needing are saddlebag liners (soft). We do quite a bit of long distance touring and find that having individual bags is a great help. We use saddlebag liners for our clothes and then store them in the trunk of our HD trike. I'm not sure how we will end up packing the rear storage trunk, there's a lot of room there but it looks like everytime you need something out of it you're going to have to dig for it. On the HD all kinds of little things end up in the top tour trunk, in the RT-S I'm afraid it's all going to settle to the bottom. I haven't decided if the little rollaway luggage bag they show for the RT-S is a good idea or not. I will say that I won't pay $200 for it! Also saw a pair of front wheels that are part of the Phantom? kit that I think would look good on the RT-S. I might also be looking for a shorter and maybe tinted windshield. In it's lowest position it seems a little high for me to look over, time will tell I guess. I hope to be able to use my heated riding gear, actually I don't use mine near as much as the Missus, but it's still nice to have that option. I'll probably add a GPS some time, but didn't feel like the one BRP offered was priced realistically! Not much interested in chrome but I'm sure there will be something we'll just have to have! Thats all I can think off right now, maybe the swaybar if I think its necessary.

• 'Muth Mirror' style turn signals would be perfect. I don't really care for the add-on style that has LEDs between the mirror edge & the mirror housing.
• Will need the normal mounts for GPS & such things. Not certain how that'll work.
• Electrical black box to fully integrate external GPS/XM/MP3/Bluetooth (like a Zumo 550) devices into the bike's sound system. Kennedy Cellset makes these for other bikes.
• Will need highway peg/boards to stretch the legs on.
• Driver's backrest, although I am in talks with Utopia for that piece. There's not one better IMHO.
• Any reflectors upgraded to LEDs. Would like to keep the reflector quality, just add lights.

I'll keep thinking about this one...

Accessories Desired

As you can see I like to play and generally do a lot of accessory installations. Haven't found a 12-step program for accessory addicts yet. I plan the first list and am thinking about the second.

Will do and really want
- HID headlights at a more reasonable price than BRP for the RT
- Top box LED interior light
- Front fender LED lights - running and turn (front and back)
- Back box high LED light bar with modulator compatible with CanBus
- 2 accessory outlets for the rider and passenger for heated clothing
- Integrated tire pressure monitoring system or will use TireGard
- Spot on dash area, by the current switches for one or two more of the marine swithes they are using that could be used for extra lights,
garage door openers, etc. (Electric Connection sells the switchs and face plate)
- CanBus connector for other accessories
- Handlebar mounting points for other accessories
- Highway pegs that utilize a set of the driver pegs

Thinking about or would like to have
- A dealer discount
- Muth Mirrors
- Modulator for the headlights or fog lights for day time visibility
- Electrical outlet in the trailer for charging on the road
- Outlet for the onboard compressor to use for filling tires if needed
- Trailer tow bar stand
- Maybe since it has reverse a set of low backup lights at the back end under the bags focused at an angle behind the bike
- Maybe a driver back rest
- Maybe dirver floorboards
- Bluetooth helmet headsets that really would work well with the comm system and GPS


Have fun fellow accessory addicts.:yes:

Oil dry, spare parts, a real lighting system, Whitworth toolset, road service contract......oh wait, that's my kind of Triumph, not these new upstarts. :roflblack:

Hopefully, I won't need any of those things... I did get an extended warranty, though. Another first model year bike.

Guess what I found out about my Trump? It has a Can-Bus system on it. :gaah:
