my two penneth
I have used an Autocom on my RT, and had problems hearing music clearly over the windnoise, I got an adaptor and used ear buds, problem solved, until I took my wife away..... she could never get over the delay from the Vox grrrrr, although the Autocom used with a phone wired in was a great success (she could butt in as much as she liked, but only I could hear her )
later on we tried some bluetooth headsets, chat was fine although she kept complaining that wind noise was transmitted from mine to hers, I found music was not really useable over 50-60mph. on the other hand the ability to talk whilst parking was worth having.
last year we didn't even bother fitting them, so probably not a great success.
move on a while and I have bought a K1200 with Autocom, 2820 already fitted, so I am in the same position as Brian, although to date I haven't even got around to seeing if my old leads fit, this bike has a PTT switch fitted so that might make the old Vox problem go away so we will see.
I like the idea of bluetooth, I don't much like the price, I have never bothered with listening to a satnav, i just include the screen in my instrument sweep, you rarely need to spend more than a second reading it, and I have found voice commands have a habit of occurring after the fact
has anyone managed to fit a headset so that the supplied speakers were audible at speed?

Plymouth to Roscoff two years ago with a KTM 990 Adventure - I decided that the crew didn't ratchet the bike tight enough and gave it a few more goes ... bent the side stand and side stand fixing bolt ...the side stand fell off at Carnac    We stopped at a garage and lawnmower centre and a lawnmower mechanic fixed it in a few minutes at at no cost (he was a KTM fan and all round nice man). The KTM parked at a jaunty angle for the rest of the trip. The moral of this story? I am rambling (age) but it may be something to do with the channel ferry folks knowing what they are about and don't over tighten the ratchet when riding springy 'adventure' bikes.

last year I started to think my RT was looking a little bit more "relaxed" than usual, then outside a restaurant in the Vosges the side stand snapped ! oops looks like the weld had been slowly breaking, looking back on it probably for the last 2 or 3 continental trips

I rang both of them when I thought it was just a couple of pieces of plastic, no one had the adjuster as a part, and whole lamp assemblies (especially Xenon) were few and far between.
apparently an almost (if not exactly) identical part is fitted to the RT1200 so if I was a dealer, I would be cannibalising units with broken lenses etc, knowing franchises, they probably throw them in the bin so they can sell full units
fortunately my dealer took the hit,not me, nice to see someone with a bit of honour in this day and age, no quibble just sorted.

I am happy as to how to adjust the light, my question is "what is the parked position for the lever?" left.right up,down or pointing outwards?

haven't used a ferry for a couple of years, have used the tunnel for the last few trips, however every time I sailed to France the ships tiedowns have been perfectly OK, they have even thrown in a sponge pad.

I have stayed in this Hotel several times over the last 10 years or so, its run by a Dutch couple and 95% of its guests are bikers, the roads in this part of France are perfect for biking and are a days ride from blighty (well for an RT anyway it remains to see if my old bones can bend into a GT's shape for that long )
