2014 Can Am RT Limited

[trikermutha]

2014 Can Am RT Limited.. Does Anyone have one and your thoughts on this trike?<br />
I test drove one and like it but the brake pedal was to high for my liking..<br />
<br />
HAs anyone else adjusted there brake pedal heights?

[trikermutha]

Turns out sitting a bit farther forward on the stock seat maybe the issue..
Went with the comfort seat and is 2 inches farther back seems to have helped with the cramping of my right leg when using the brake pedal..
Been getting easier to use the more I drive the new Bike..

Is this your subtle way of announcing that you went ahead and bought that RT you were considering?

[trikermutha]

Yes Sir and very Happy I went ahead and Traded the Tri glide for the Can Am..

We took a nice ride today and I can say I don't feel all beat up riding it like I did the Tri Glide..

Congratulations ~ we'll be looking forward to your pictures (natch') and experiences with your new toy. I'm especially interested on your impressions on the 1.3 liter ACE engine and SE6 transmission.

Congrats on your new RT. Best of luck with it!!

[trikermutha]

Keep you posted as I am trying to get use to the fancy new buttons on the bike..Gas mileage is very good too..

Good, anxious to see your analysis.

So far I like the low end torque and the semi automatic trans is so much nicer than using a clutch..The paddle shift is really impressive once you get the hang of it after a few rides. Nice not having to use hand brakes or a clutch.. It does have a lot of get up and go when shifting thru the gears..The suspension cushions the rodes very nice too..<br />
<br />
I find that there is a lot less wind blowing on me and the passenger..But did go with the optional vented windshield and adjustable side shields if I do want a bit more wind blowing on me..

We got our 2014 Cognac RT Limited on Aug. 30 and now have over 500 miles on her already. I'm switching over from a GL1800 trike and it is definitely different. I'm really liking the SE6 transmission. I also have the same issue with the brake pedal position and have not found a solution yet. I think some kind of extender pedal would do the trick, but haven't found one. However, I'm getting used to it as I ride more. The first add-on we got was armrests for my wife; we went with the Corbin rests. They are very well-made, but it takes a little time to install them. I'm waiting for my Utopia rider backrest to arrive this week, along with a set of ISO grips with a Throttle Boss.

The customizing is half the fun of a new bike.<br />

</div>One of the things I found was to get the Heated comfort seat/Backrest which moves you back 2 inches and seemed to help with the brake pedal position. But the more I ride the bike (Over 400 miles now) it is starting to become non noticeable as when I first rode the bike. Now keep in mind this is from someone who just traded in his Harley Triglide. But I will say the Can Am is like a Cadillac to me..<img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" />..I am not all beat up like I was after riding the Harley..<br />
<br />
Something else I tested out the heated seats and grips. Wow I say..Never had heated grips never thought they would work but they do.<br />
And my Gal says she can turn her seat/grips on from where she sits..<br />
<br />
What I did learn is that she likes to change the radio channels on me from her area..Drives me nuts as I thought my radio channels were going haywire only to learn she was changing the channels..<img src="images/smilies/laugh.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Laugh" class="inlineimg" /><br />
<br />
So far the more I ride the more I am glad I went with the Can Am..

I wear out my Road Smith, if that happens, I'm gonna take a look at the Spyder RT.
