RE has published this colorful catalogue for all the gimmicks they sell for their bikes. Title slogan "make it truly yours".
Well, let's see what goes into the new 440 that wasn't in the "on the road" price:
what WILL be added:
done - upgrade 5 year insurance to full cover for all 5 years (normal is 1 year full, then 3rd party only)
Not that I doubt my driving skills but I do lend my bikes to friends who struggle to pay for damage they incur
and I usually end up covering for them.
done- lamination of the tank - it scratches really fast with those magnetic tank bags
done- seat changed to saddle type (like on all my Himas)
done- OEM carrier (onto which I will attach my own panniers - taken from the Hima I sold)
done- massive crash guard (same as Hima)
done- 2 x 60 watt fog lights
done - Barkbuster clones
done- 2 good mobile holders with usb - one for nav, one for cam
done - foam hand grips
done- Bluetooth OBD2 adapter (with torque app)
done- oil cooler protection
done - rear brake fluid protection
done- voltmeter
done - rear carrier from BS6 Hima
What MAY be added
- tacho, if I can find one that doesnt break the bank and works
- Fuelx Pro Plus for riding high up to have some control over the air fuel mixture
done - Bosch horns if the stock is too flimsy
- tyre hugger if test rides show throwing of mud up onto the luggage
- I really hope RE has fixed the endemic "battery runs empty when parked for a week" problem, if not a cut off switch goes under the seat
- later if I want some improvement in torque (its already much better that the 411) I may up the engine to 477.
I kinda owe it to my company to at least give it a a shot
done - Oil thermometer - if upgraded to 477.
done - I was kinda happy with the seating position but I may still opt for a higher handle bar later.
- "better" exhaust - in terms of sound only as I will not take out the cat (lousy experience with the Hima, lots of popping)
this list WILL be updated, I am sure I have forgotten some
