For those OCD bike clean types

Ed, what model of light is that you have on the bottom of the fork?

I'll chime in for Ed the lights are Motolights https://motolight.com/ I had a set on my 02R1150RT, they where get lights for the time and the Mom Pop company are wonderful folks to work with.

Can any of you OCD types recommend a good, lightweight cover for a '16 RT? Getting ready to go on an extended trip in a few weeks (unfortunately not to Utah).

E-Z Touring makes good half covers that pack up very small.

I quit trying to get it back in that little pouch after my first trip. A quick roll and a few folds then press the air out and it can go on top of whatever is in the top case with no problems.

OSI's a nice cover w/ a 3y warranty, is waterproof, and it has a soft fabric interior windscreen protection section. It's stuff pouch is attached and the cover is easy to replace in its stuff sac. I put a couple of grommets and used some stretch cord and plastic hooks so I could attach it easily just in front of my 28L trunk as in the photo below. It's a half cover, fits taut over my '16 RT's nose, the top of the side case, and of course the trunk. I would by it again.



Ebay sells them.

The half cover was 1/2 off so I only paid $30 for it. Worth a try so no big loss if it doesn't work well. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry been on the road headed to Salt Lake but that is correct. Motolights powder coated black. But today I would go with an LED light for sure. Either Denali D2's or Clearwater Darlas
