Hi all,

I have lost the old R1200RS forum - did it fold?

Anyway, I finally bit the bullet and sold my Triumph Explorer, and stumped up for a very low km Frozen Bronze Exclusive demonstrator. I hope to pick it up this Saturday and can't wait to get it home and cosied up to my R1200S i opted to keep.
There's a few things I want to add in time, particularly a set of Clearwater Darlas with a CanOpener and a Remus Hexacone.

I'm looking forward to contributing the the forum.

Gats,
I'd be interested to see your Clearwater lights on the bike. Are they fitted yet? I'm thinking of putting some running lights on my bike.

HI Michael. No, not as yet, as I have still to order them. I plan on having them set up as running lights as well. Seems an easy enough thing to do with the CanOpener 3.

The only thing I see the Clearwater doesn't do is extinguish the light on the indicator in use side, or both. I think the Denali version does but then it doesn't have the same flexibility and functions as the Clearwater.

Congrats on the new bike. I have Clearwater Kristas with the CanOpener along with the Billy light. Really love how that system integrates with the WonderWheel. I used MaMo Light Bars for the installation. https://machineartmoto.com/r1200r/2015-r...oled/light-bar/
I also have the Remus Hexacone slip-on and really love the enhanced sound. I'm running it with the dB killer installed and don't see a need to run without it.

Michael,

They finally arrived after around 2.5 weeks, 1.5 of it being here in Oz!

Stripped a majority of the right hand side to access the cable routing and the kit provided a long cable tie as a 'snake'. A few hours later and it was wired in for testing and worked straight off the bat! BTW, the mounts are MaMo.

One feature in the CanOpener 3 version supplied (2.2) is dimming to 3% when the indicators are activated. Nice! Still to adjust the DRL setting but have the low beam set to 20% and the horn to strobe. Will get out in darkness for an adjustment shortly, as well as photos in daylight.
