RLETS First Ride

[CaptainChris_imp]

Finally figured out how to get my RLETS on so I celebrated by taking it for a ride. It's like a whole new bike! :biker:

Nice pic. Bike looks great. Where in "Central Wisconsin" are you? (I don't need your address or anything, just curious)

Thank you! I've been very happy with them so far.

That is definitely a nice looking set-up for touring.

Thanks! That's what I'm aiming for. 22 liters more storage than the new Goldwing in a much lighter package.

What rear rack and top box is that? Where did you get it? How much?

 

[KiowaEagle_imp]

You managed to figure out how to get all that other stuff installed before you figured out rlets? lol

Those are Hepco & Becker bags. Top case most likely is too, but IDK.

I cheated...
First RLET ripped along the leg.
*Idea* Make clean cut of leg and install knob easily!...
*Light bulb* Cut other RLET down first...
Install= 5 seconds.

Does ingenuity make me less of a Jedi?

I feel as if I didn't earn my light saber...

 

[the Ferret]

well the first statement says "I cheated....."

the Jedi code would never allow for that.

In your heart, I think you know the answer

 

[Retsel_imp]

I believe this will require deep discussion with those much more knowledgeable than I. However, at the least I would think your protection has been dimenished dramatically. Think of a profolactic, would you slit the back to ease installation? I can see some negative results if this was to become a trend!

Well ingenuity wasn't what killed the cat but no, no light saber for you.

I installed my new Honda RLETS on my 2017 EX about a week ago. To say they don't exactly install themselves is an understatement. The trick for me was a bit of slightly soapy water inside while keeping the outside dry enough to get a good grip.

Love your bike! The rlets add roughly 20hp
