Definitely wait until a good rain washes out the salt. Also allow time for potholes to be filled a bit and watch out for loose gravel and cages who will not be looking out for you. We are still in the middle of a 2 day ice storm here in the maritimes, this after a 40cm blizzard lest week.....when will it ever end???:snow2:

1st gens had cassettes too......????????? :confused24:

Did not need to remove foam from helmets for mine, but could not use the pads provided with the speakers, just inserted the the speaker behind mesh.

Nice scoot there bud:thumbsup:

I think it has to do with quality of the unit. I have the economy model that is quoted at $67. Works great for intercom, but for music it is marginal at best. The performance and elite series whould have better speakers and improved microphone.

That does not sound right. When you go on their site it comes up to $60 for a single and $120 for a double kit. When i bought mine in January, they were on sale at $50 for one and $100 for 2, I took the double kit so I had spares and also shipping was the same price for either option. Just noticed that mine are 1800lm and the ones he lists now are 2800lm, that may explain the raise in price.

I actually bought a complete kit that had 2 bulbs, 2 fans, and 2 ballasts for about $100 from them. That way I have spare parts. So, it came to $50 for each set. The prices you quote above are for individual replacement parts. Glad you liked our neck of the woods. There is some great riding in our area. Will look up your article.

Sorry, realize that we have highjacked thread a bit, but here is a good write-up on the h4-led cree headlight. Hope its helpful. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/76766-led-headlight-install-5th-gen/

No, never been. Have been looking for reviews on it but not much luck. Do you have a link?

Yup same one I was talking about:canada:

Where getting a >^#%$-|¦$`#:snow2:

Will do, but it will be on the weekend. Mine was on the left side though:confused24:

Man those look and sound great. I have been looking for those on ebay but they are alway,s auctionned for about $600 or more when they are in good shape. Even the ones that are all scratched up fetch about $300-$400. New seem to be about $700:mo money::mo money:

Here is an angry french canadian who has had it with snow. Watch it till the end as it gets better:snow2:

Sorry to jump in the conversation. My wife and I have been using HJC modulars and we love them. We both wear glasses and there is enough space around the ears for glasses and speakers without any pressure. Placed J&M open face headsets with booms in them and they fit perfectly. Ours also have the internal sun visor that works very well. On the neg side, they can get warm in summer and are noiser than standard fulfaces. Hope this helps!

Honnestly, I would need a new pair of underwear after the first 30 seconds...:shock3::shock3: WOW!

''Did you locate the reason it got chaffed?'' Yes, it got pinched in the travel stop on the left side and it is one of the wires for the driving lamps:mad: Lucky I caught it in time as the damage is only in the missing plastic coating. I will be relocating it when I split the fairing to finish my overall LED lamps / switch / relay install this weekend (weather permitting ). Thanks for the suggestions all,

I have wire that got shaffed with about 1\4 inch of it being bare. Asside from taping it with electrical tape or cutting and splicing it, are there other way's to repair. Its in the neck area of the front forks so i want to keep it as skinny as possible. Thanks:confused24:

Like the concept. I ride with a full face but rarely have the visor down, so would not work for me.

That is too coool.... Wonder if it is expensive:mo money:
