The new beauty!  She gets washed once a month, whether she needs it or not ;-)

The BMA airBag tank bag is visible here, as well as the new location of the GPS just under the windshield.  Since this is an R1100RTS, the saddlebag and top box are color matched in Graphite Metallic.

 

More pics of the new RT.  I've had it for 6 weeks and these are the first pictures of the whole bike I've taken!  Lots of detail shots for installations, etc. - but never any of the whole bike.  My 1999 Grand Prix GTP Coupe is in the background - 240HP, 280 lb-ft torque, supercharged V6... and the RT will eat it for breakfast :-)

My first motorcycle - a 1986 R80 - traded in March 2000 for the R1100RT.

I bought this bike from the original owner, Dick Hathaway, in 1993 for $2,500 - What a steal!  Dick knew what he had; he was doing me a HUGE favor as I could never have afforded such a bike at that time.  It had about 13K on it when I got it; around 45K when I traded it in.  I added a Corbin seat, heated grips, and Plexifairing shield, and rode this bike in Arizona, through the Smokies, and around Michigan.

 

 
My riding buddy Roger, with his Cambridge Blue 1993 Gold Wing Interstate.  His teddy bear must have blown off before this picture was taken - he needs stronger Bungee cords ;-)
The new R1100RT's dashboard, Version 1.2 - Lots of changes since this picture was taken.  Still in place:  V1 to the right; I have put the remote audio underneath the shelf over the tach, so I can adjust the volume without removing the seat - helpful for runs around town without earplugs.  TireAlert is the little box between the tach and the RID (fuel/oil gauges on the right).  The GPS is now on the left side of the shelf, sharing it with the V1.  The cell phone is on a SAENG/TA mount on the left control pod.  Garage door opener (keychain size) is now velcroed above the accessory socket on the left.  FRS?  I haven't figured out where it's going to go yet... maybe in the map pocket on the tank bag.  For now I swap it out with the cell phone when necessary.
Looking back into the tail of the RT:
  1. Tulsa Accessories auxiliary fuse panel.  This offers 6 fused outlets, one of which is blocked in my installation by part of the frame. 
  2. 30A relay, so that the auxiliary fuse panel is only powered when the bike is on.
  3. TireAlert control box
  4. Eurocom intercom system
  5. Valentine 1 radar detector remote audio (since moved to the dash area, so that I can adjust it more easily)
  6. Cigarette lighter socket, powering cell phone adapter (Removed since I switched to the Navigator, which is now hard-wired)
