That sucks. I did buy mine at a bad time here tho. Its hard to deal when the weather is still nice and the new 2018s are just being unloaded off the trucks. This was the only dealer that would even bite on working out a deal. All the rest wouldn't budge with this bike. So it really helps to shop around like I did even if it means buying the bike from a dealer further away.

Yeah the back seat is shaped on a downward angle so it makes the passenger slide backwards. Just found that out the other day when going up a hill. Almost lost my passenger. Lol.. It does look good tho flowing with the shape of the fender and the seat is so comfy.

Found this on bay and I wonder if this will fit the '17 & '18 RKS?
Probably a knockoff imitation, but I can't seem to find this in the P&A catalog...

Prices aren't any better on an island when you can ride 365 days a year like here either.

I bought mine tonight. '18 in Industrial Gray Denim. I had to pay MSRP but they threw in a Daymaker and some service credits. I also bought the chopped engine guard.
Here it is in the sunset which makes it look less gray to my phone's camera. I'm picking it up tomorrow because I didn't have any of my gear with me and wasn't really expecting to buy it, but I had my checkbook in the car from buying the Ducati yesterday and had to have it..

Did a little research and found a product that can replCe the rear reflector with a red strobe wired into the brake circuit.
I have noted that when I have had strobeing brake lights the caters tend to not follow or stop so close adding a margin of safety.
Product cost is $18
