twstm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 OK, now that I have bonded with my RT, what are some of the most popular improvements? Mine is an '02 and I have ordered the Booster plug to help with the surging. Is there a better windshield than the OEM? Seat? I have a set of PIAA 1100X lights I want to mount but need a bracket. I plan on hard wiring for my GPS and Gerbings heated clothing. Link to comment

BriSco Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I agree with additional lighting. The 1150 RT needs more. I upgraded the wiring to my headlight with the Eastern Beaver relay kit, then Osram Rally 65W bulbs, then added Motolights. On the rear, Skene P3 LEDs. On the seat, I prefer the Russell Day-Long. Butts vary, but most everyone who has one loves it. I've had Corbins, Sergeant, Mustang, etc, but none has compared. I roll with the stock windscreen. I think this winter though I may try a Cee Bailey Euro cut in +2. Link to comment

I have a set of PIAA 1100X lights, I just need to find a mounting bracket for the 1150RT. Link to comment

Kathy R Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 A pair of GS stalk mirrors. The added mirrors cover the lanes to your side and the stock mirrors show the road behind you. Link to comment

I guess I should be more specific...A mount for my Garmin 2820, A flip up type tank bag, reflective decals for the side and top cases. These are some of the things I am looking for. Link to comment
