druggrepp Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just got '01 RTP1100 I like the look of the cop bike and the radio box is great for storage. How much trouble is it to just take radio box off, hook up rear seat so she can ride, then put the box back on? It has city saddlebags, kinda small, the radio box helps w room. Link to comment
CarlosB Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Not really hard to do the switch, but not something you'll be wanting to be doing for the weekends. Carlos Link to comment
Boffin Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The RTP uses a different rear subframe to the RT. You will need to buy the bits to convert (some dealers sell these as a kit). It is not just a case of switching the box for a seat and vice-versa. Andy Link to comment
AndyS Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Changing the back end is a big job and something you won't want to be switching back and forth. Link to comment
Phil50 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What would you tell your insurer? "I'd like to modify my bike for the weekend". A complete minefield, I'd stick to one or the other. Link to comment
druggrepp Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks guys, I was afraid of that. She was with me when I bought the bike and she pointed to the radiobox, she asked, is that where i sit? Of course I committed to changing it. Starting to gather parts now. I DO like the cop final drive over stock ratio. Big boxer is quicker off the line. Link to comment
