Even my '13 FJR let you change from mph to kph.

Yes it does.  No need to ever touch my FOB.

I meant actually opening and closing the bags while the alarm is set.

  Surely with the ignition off even with your fod in your pocket all the controls on the bars are dead. I know on mine nothing works until I turn  the key and I'm nearly sure they didn't on my keyless 1600. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Sorry but you are wrong about this part.&...

Yes but the ignition has to be on to use the bar button, so its switch on ignition , push button to unlock pannier, switch off ignition. Very straight forward.  As for the alarm .  I would not use the default setting as it's a pain to unset it if you don't need to use it.&nbsp...

Don't think my V does that.  If I leave a saved route for any reason it will attempt to recalculate back onto that route.  If however you have missed a waypoint on your detour the recalculation will take you back to that waypoint in the first instance. Yes the Nav V, Zumo 350 &...

Those are really cool.  I always have the pannier (saddlebags) on my bike because it looks much cooler with than without, so the nets would be really useful for me. Are they a specific kit or did you make them yourself? The nets were generic ones available at most motorcycle dealerships.&a...

Congratulations on the new RT. I use nets on the saddlebag doors to keep things organized.  Raingear, gloves & other useful items are always easily accessed. https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8612/27865922503_2b1d41407d_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8068/27865059704_5475a786f3_z.jpg

Ride safe,

If you come up with a better idea please let me see it.  Thanks.

Thanks to the rest of you for the nice compliments. 

CB pix. First one is the original bracket that just cleared the rack.  Looked good but cannot mount a top case with it.  It did not require drilling the rack.  The bent piece was on top and the other sandwiched the rack from the bottom.  https://farm8.staticflickr...

Nice pics! Would you mind posting a close up pic of your CB antenna mount and base? Also, what brand and where did you purchase? Thanks! I'll have to take some pics this weekend.  CB is a J&M 2003 that I removed from my FJR.   CB mount is modified from a C14 Concourse mounted ...

Just want to say hello.  I bought a '16 R1200RT about a month ago.  I picked it up the day before leaving on a 7 day cruise.  Boy was that a long cruise. http://forums.bmwmoa.org/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif I had an new '06 until '09 but my wife did not really care for ...
