RE: Retrofit Hill Start - 2

Thanks for the pictures Yoda and Gaucho.

That is where my Heated Grips icon shows up.

Do your bikes have the Heated Grips too?

Does the Heated Grips icon use the same space on your bikes?

Thanks

Oops, my mistake. Getting confused in my old age.

Thanks guys.

I've just had the Hill Start Assist upgrade on my 2015 RS at Cotswold Motorrad in Cheltenham. Cost was £206 UK and it took an hour. Wasn't quite sure if it would be worthwhile but on the trip home via the Cotswolds I decided it was money very well spent. It's effectively a handbrake for your bike and makes not only hill starts a doddle but will also hold the bike on an enforced downhill stop (or at any time for that matter) and allow you to sit without having to hold the brake lever.

I have it also in my new bike, and for me it worths the money. When I have to enter into the garage, I have to stop in a downhill, and put my hand into my pocket for taking the key to open the garage. It's wonderfull having both feet on the floor and both hands free while doing it
