Another RX3 on the Road
It took longer than I thought to have the RX3 delivered. But I suppose with the CSC guys at the Long Beach show, and the Thanksgiving holiday, two+ weeks isn't bad.
First discovery is that the kickstand needs a larger "foot". It sinks onto the FL sand pretty quickly. jb

Finally getting around to uploading my photos of the delivery of my RX3 in October. I had the trucker deliver to the company that I used to own and they loaded it into my trailer.
Taking the cardboard off Decided that the trailer was too high to try to roll it off that pallet, so I decided to slide the pallet out of the trailer. Wasn't easy by myself, but I did it. Mission accomplished. I got about 330 miles on it before winter set in. Snow on the roads, high temps in the 30s. I did ride it to the Saturday morning breakfast m/c gathering and got a lot of positive comments and interest.

Thanks for posting the great photos. You ordered a lot of nice accessories. How do you like the tall saddle,and the auxiliary lights?

I have aux lights on all of my bikes for two reasons; conspicuity and more light on the road. I ride with the aux lights on day and night and have them aimed as low beams. I knew from my other aux lights that I did not need stronger lights for night riding. I do not do nighttime woods or high speed riding. These aux lights provide adequate light although I plan to change the 35W headlight blub to a 55/60W. For conspicuity from the rear I added a Volo Light. This light is in a license plate frame and uses an accelerometer to activate the bright LEDs. When you let off the gas the taillights in the frame flash, and when you apply the brakes more than gently it flashes faster. It only needs power and ground (from the license plate light).

Thanks for the good review.

I just ordered some 10 degree spot lights to supplement the headlight for pavement riding after dark, and additional conspicuity. https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...rk-light/1699/ Quote:
