Man...I would do that...but...I forgot your address...yea...that's it...forgot your address.
-
So there is an adapter for using the XM in the car? Also, I notice that the Zumo has an XM antenna jack on the back of it. Is that not used with the bike mount?
-
Thanks...now that is what I was looking for. I hope it will work.
-
I agree that the XM is better equipment. BUT....none of that helps me in using the unit back and forth between my car and bike. I hate paying for two subscriptions when I just use one of those at a time.
-
Yea, got that one fixed. Also found that the link at the bottom showing members in chat was also not working. Got it figured out also. There were some other small things that I found why you folks weren't looking. Probably still some things but nothing that I have found yet. There are also some small new features. I think I'll wait and see if anybody notices them though. Nothing major.

OK....this new Zumo 550 has really complicated my life. It has caused me to have to make more decisions and I'm tired of making decisions. So here is the latest dilemma. I presently have a Sirius radio. I actually have three of them. One in the house, one in my wife's car and one that I move back and forth between the bike and my work car. It makes no sense to me to pay for a fourth subscription to have different ones on the bike and my work car as I only use one of them at a time. I like the idea though of having the GPS, MP3 and Satellite radio in one unit and therefore not having my IPOD, Sirius AND the GPS until all cluttering up my handlebars. I've already found out that even though Sirius and XM are now the same company, they will not let you add an XM subscription to your Sirius account and therefore get it at the reduced rate. So...I would have to get a new XM account to use the XM for the Garmin. Then I would want to cancel the Sirius account for my car/bike but then would not have a unit for my work car. So..after all this...I guess my question is has anybody tried using the Zumo with the XM receiver in a car? Will the antenna pick up the stations if it is on the dash or somewhere in the car? This is ALL so dang confusing.

We have some equipment in a room in the basement. I can tell you though, it hardly EVER gets used.
-
Part of the software upgrade. I am still working on a LOT of little issues.
-
Looks like this might be a nice option for anybody without a stereo that wishes to add one. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-radio/jensen-jhd910-radio/

I think I would just steal the one I had already cleaned off.
-
It is absolutely OK. I think you have my address already. For what it's worth, I've had the Samsons and the Khromewerks. Noise level was similar but the Samsons may have been a little louder. I do think that the finish and workmanship was better on the Khromewerks though. Also, the tips on the Khromewerks can be turned down, out or at a 45 degree angle. The MAJOR part is done. Files are updated and new version is installed. Now I just have a LOT of templates to update.
-
OK folks....as bad as I hate to tackle it....I am getting ready to upgrade our software again. This is a bigger upgrade than the last couple and you WILL find some things missing until I get it all worked out. The functionality as far as posting and etc. should be fine but some of the custom changes I have made over time will take some sorting out. So....I'm going to get started. Hopefully there will be no MAJOR problems.
-
No problem. Just let me know when you are ready.
-
These folks have a lot of stuff. I've dealt with them and they are very good. Not always as cheap as finding parts from an individual but much cheaper than new. http://stores.ebay.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc

Yes, that is YOU Spear.
-
Yes, that link in the first post is working for me now. I made some changes that will hopefully solve this.
-
If you'll just order 2 or more, I think the $3.00 each should cover it.
-
WOW...that is REALLY cool. Took me about 5 minutes to get it then about another 5 to STOP getting it. Really works well thoug.
-
I have plenty of small patches. They are listed in the VentureRider Merchandise forum area.
-
hmmm....both of those links work for me. I did make a change in the programming code before I did that though. I don't think it would help with the existing links but maybe will work from now on.
-
Trying it both ways: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycles___1988-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-XVZ13-White-Biege_W0QQitemZ270327347841QQddnZMotorcyclesQQddiZ2283QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_motorcycles?hash=item270327347841&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A727|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1308 and a link to the same one: Venture
-
It seems to have something to do with the way the links are being added. For some reason, if you just enter the URL, they work fine. If you enter a text or button and link it to the URL, it is causing a problem. I'll try to figure out why.
-
He is supposed to get a price and let me know. It probably won't be too long.
-
OK folks...I spoke with Eddie and he has two large patches left. His email had changed so he probably never got the emails from those who tried. You can send him a PM. His username is Eddie. He is also checking on what it would cost to have some more made. He has two available, first come first served.
-
It was Eddie who had those patches made. It has been a while since I talked to him about it but I think he was about out and probably wasn't going to do it again. If there is enough interest, I can see about having some more made but the minimum is usually about 100-150 to get a decent price and I would need to know that there is enough demand for them. I pay for this type of thing out of my pocket and it's sometimes hard to sit on several hundred dollars worth of bells, patches, etc. I currently have plenty of VentureRider Guardian bells and the small patches. Would be happy to get large patches if the demand is there.
