Unfortunately yes, missed opportunity I think. Spoked tubeless seem to be a very expensive option from a lot of manufacturers. I always wondered whether a cast rim could be laced to a traditional hub?

I just read up on it a bit. Surprised to learn that it now comes standard with cruise control, and it already included heated grips. Plus, it has those rubber things to kill the front brake squeal. New instruments, new engine maps, supposedly better fuel mileage. Fifteen lbs lighter, too, nearly all of it from the wheels.

Pretty well dialed now, I'd say.

I'm perfectly good with the no-RLETs thing.

I so far had no desire to put RLET's on my bike . Does that make me less of a "complete " motor cyclist ? Should I see a shrink ?

No.

However, it does sustain a disturbance in the force.

I still contend that RLETS saved my Bonneville from certain doom last year.

Hard to argue the outcome without them. Compelling, really.
