Greetings from Fletcher, NC - pej7445 - 10-02-2023
Hello - I'm a new RS owner, just bought a used 2020 1250RS with about 10k miles. After mostly riding Yamaha FJRs for 20 years, I'm excited to learn more about this amazing bike!
I'm looking for some accessories if anyone is selling them or has any recommendations.
Engine Guards
Better Horn
Fog Lights
Phone mount

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.
MachineartMoto head guards are popular to prevent damage from parking lot tip overs.
The Mudsling from the same company is also popular to protect the rear shock.

For extra lights we have Clearwater Darlas and the MachineartMoto mount.

Denali is another popular company for lights.

Welcome to the Forum Community and to RS ownership. Looking forward to your thoughts on the comparison between the two sport tourers you have owned, as I am sure there is a huge difference between the two, not the least of which is the engine.

Welcome to the family. We all believe in the great benefits of "wind therapy" and the RS is an excellent delivery system.

Welcome! I was just down in your area (Bat Cave) 2 weeks ago (With my KTM 890 Duke R, not my 2020 RS). You are in the middle of some of the best riding on the globe, and you are going to love your RS!
