• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I get a Leg pain after riding the RT for more than half an hour - anyone else? Any solutions?

Agree with you. I'm 6'2" as well, and at first, I experienced the same issues.

What I have found that helped me to enjoy more riding time was installing foot pegs that extended my feet a bit further forward, and swapping out the OEM seat for a Comfort Seat. Huge riding and comfort difference. At times, being taller definitely has it's disadvantages.
I'm 6'3"+ so I bought the Comfort Seat as part of the OTD deal; was the best, most economical approach to getting an extra couple of inches of leg room. The only time in my life I've ever considered my height a disadvantage was when I was getting shot at.

I was 6'4" when I was younger, and too skinny to get shot.

IIRC, the BRP supplied optional 'Comfort Seats' for the RT models from 2010 until 2019 provided a 2"/50mm further 'set-back' for the lumbar support bulge, effectively reducing the space available on the pillion seat by that much, but by doing so, allowing the rider to slide back a bit further on the seat and gain a bit of extra leg stretch space - space which helped many of us! (y)

By then adding a/mkt Highway pegs, you'll get even more leg room. :sneaky:

However, none of this ^ 'Comfort Seat' info applies to the 2020+ RT models (the Highway pegs bit does, tho! 😋) all of the later RT's came with separate seats for the rider and the pillion from the factory, altho some of the upmarket A/mkt alternatives still provide seats for them on a single seat pan... :rolleyes:

Maybe this won't help @olegeezer, but for anyone looking for something to suit the older model RT's, I don't know if you can still purchase the BRP supplied 'Comfort Seats' for these models from dealers, but they might be available from one or more of the various parts houses? Just be warned tho, if you're looking to get one of those, many of the 'other' seat variants, OEM/Original fittings, A/mkt alternatives, and others, were called 'Comfort Seats' despite not having that extra room, so you need to check that the seat you are looking at actually does have the smaller 'lumbar support' bulge that shows there's more space for the rider - it's very easy to get the caught out by these 'Comfort Seat' labels that don't always mean the same thing! 😖

Just Sayin' ;)
I have a factory Brown BRP comfort seat in great shape for my 14 RTL sitting on a shelf in my garage in Central Texas that I'll sell for $200 if anyone cares to come pick it up. Shipping makes it not cost effective. I found a Corbin with the gas door and I'm happy with it. DM me for deets.
