Last week I got the '13 back on the road after a year off (I wasn't riding much so I stored the '13 and did what little riding on the 650L and '14).
Prepping it for the road (still need to install new front pads - they got some fork oil on them) I found the headlight bucket completely cracked. Replaced.
The blinkers were always slow to function and a DMV check seemed to indicate a faulty selenoid. Replaced.
Well that didn't fix it so I dived into the switch gear - again. Purged 99% of the grease and that seemed to cure it
It has lowered handle bars, lowered pegs and high K&H seat. A very different riding experience from the '14.
I found I really missed it! And it looks better than the '14.
A YouTuber has strongly suggested that a heated seat (he was reviewing a BMW) is simply wonderful. So now I have to decide if I have it added to my RDL. I have a couple weeks to decide.
