With Clearwater, that is a substantial savings. Thanks for the head's up.

Thanks for the heads up about the discount.
Earlier on this week I was in the market for auxiliary lights since the Tracer has none. I had intended to get Denali lights again so I put the package together and with about $100 in discounts it came up to just over $405 for the DR1 lights, brackets, dimming switch. Then I decided to do some due diligence and see how Clearwater compared. Stayed on their site for about 15 seconds after seeing the price for the comparable Krista crash bar kit - $744!
I'd need way more than 12%. The Clearwaters are nice lights but again (as in 2016 when I got the Denali D2s for the RS) they are too expensive for me.

If anyone is going to the MOA National Clearwater will be on site installing lights.
At the rally they will do 10% off plus labor to install.

Did you get a email with a code?
I emailed them and said I have not received any emails with discount codes.
They replied back and said they were short of staff due to COVID.

If anyone gets a code for the SW-Motech Quick-Lock Micro Pro tank bag post it in this thread.
I replaced my SW-Motech Engage tank bag with the Pro version.
I sold my 3 liter tank bag I use on day rides and may replace it with a Micro Pro.
I keep a tire pump, tire repair kit and faceshield cleaner in my little tank bag.

I see now. I thought you blanked out the code in your reply.
Turns out there's some faint text in that gap. Maybe it was yellow text. I can't see yellow on white.

Haha … no I de-emphasized the irrelevant Kaoko throttle stabilizers (who has an “unstable throttle”?! ) and kept only the bit relevant to our bikes.
I do like the MRA products but they are not cheap. I skipped buying the touring lip and saved $139 in the process. Hasn’t fallen off yet.

Looks like today's Twisted Throttle deal is 15% Off TechSpec, with same code BLACKFRIDAYPRESALE.
https://twistedthrottle.com/motorcycle-p...ice=0+1000
It also looks like TechSpec doesn't make anything specific to the 1250RS; they're all "universal fit."
Does anyone have any experience with these or similar products? I'm used to gripping the tank with my knees from my Bonnevilles, and added the rubber pads to my ScramblerXE, so buy into the concept of using the knee grip/core to help with stabilization and taking stress off the arms/wrists.
Is there a pre-cut version available for the RS anyone can recommend? Or not?

Yes, I have direct experience with the TechSpec (as well as another brand I used on the S1000R), and the TechSpec Gripster for the R1200RS will work on the R1250RS.

Very nice, and quite instructive, thank you very much! Definitely on the short list of mods to think about!
