Well, after three years of bugging the shit out of everyone,

Off to pick up the new steed of righteousness next weekend lol

I went to LC after the 07 failed. I had it from new, did 88000 miles in all weathers but ECU failure finally prompted the need for change. Tried different makes/models but the GS was the choice again

For me the riding position is the biggest difference between the 1200 hex and LC bikes and why I don’t like riding the LC. I suspect the rallye version is different - maybe you’re changing to a 1250?
Either way health to enjoy.
 
I had a LC it wasn't good.....

I found the current triumph 1200 explorer is remarkably similar in character and riding position to the old air cooled bikes, only issue was massive heat bubble that you sit in all the time.... the screen is a revelation... no noise or turbulence at all
 
Nippy Normans supply Touratech, Wunderlich, Desert Fox and many other makes of accessories.
