I know for a fact a fellow that lives out that way that is dang good with these bikes. Currently he is helping a fellow in the Delphi forums sort out an engine problem.

Bring it on over I can do that. Congrats on the new to ya bike.

My 09 has developed a couple of hairline type cracks down by the screws. Its only a matter of time I suppose.

Whats wrong with it? Mine has a couple scratches and dinks in it, but heck. You might want to think about painting it with plasti dip. My gas cap kept shining back into my eyes. I didnt want the old cup up can cooler thing so I painted it.

As of now I'm in the sorting out mode. I like these headsets and I believe they would take care of the functions I want. but the flip side is, other than getting rid of the current wires I'm not really gaining anything. I still will have to run extra pieces of electronics to get radio to headsets, and I'm not for certain the intercom is going to be clear and un-noisy So many reviews say with a 3/4 it was noisy enough they had to shut it off with the jog button and reinitiate when they wanted to talk. Well heck I got the same thing now, but at least I have it fixed with a on/off inline mic mute. So I'm on hold basicly.

Well being as we like our extras, now we need to know what they are, where they came from and how much were they? I keep thinking of some way to mount some extra lights down like off the bolt that holds the leg cowell on. I have a couple ideas but kind of depends on what is available for brackets.

Good point on fuel level. One of first times I took mine off it had maybe 3/4 tank. Boy when I tilted it to sit down I thought it was going to jump out of my hands.

So if music is running thru BT and you want to talk you tap the button. For us right now thats kind of where I'm at with the OEM deal. The open all the time mic makes so much wind noise I had to put mic cut outs on it to keep me from going bonkers. $450+ for the other jobs is way outta range for me. Thats better than 1/2 years insurance premium.

I'm driving myself coo coo looking at videos. I saw one yesterday a fellow had a GPS, cell phone and mp3 player and intercom all working. There is a sequence he went thru so that the MP3 was stereo. I think he paired the GPS to SMH10, then the phone to the GPS, then MP# player via BT to headset. But did mention a step in there so the GPS connection was not stereo I think. . Bob do you see any reason a fellow couldn't connect the bike stereo thru a 3.5mm cable to the unit via its port if you have something like this wired up? I think it would be fine and save almost $200. (the wiring came from a GW site, but we all know its pin out is the same.)

Could install a ignition by-pass relay while he's in there too, to keep switch from possibly causing problems later.

Whatcha doin in there? 2012 bime cant be much wrong there.

I was surfing looking at vidieos on the SMH10 headset. One of them mentioned when connecting to like a GPS to do a certain sequence like hold the jog button or something. Anyways it allowed the unit to use a connection that would allow the pairing to the mp3 player to be stereo. Almost like ther is a limited number of " channels" that are stereo.

Hmm I have read some that say the 3/4 helmet is noisey and some say its fine. So far 50/50 I am thinking that to use the radio on the bike all I need is a BT dongle transmitter I think is what its called. I already have a 3.5mm out put from the intercom/radio as I use ear buds now. So I should be able to connect the dongle there and get music etc from that if I chose. But for the passenger to hear either say my phone I'm using for music or the bike via the dongle thing, wouldn't they just have to "pair" to it? We both currently have Bell Mag 8,so same as Mag 9 just the earlier version basicly and no special place for BT, so regular brackets.

Possibly with this? I dont know, CB is not a big deal to me. I think I have turned it one twice since I have owned the bike. Probably will have to investigate how to make the bike stereo operate over the wireless headset.

Watched and read a bit on the 5 vs 10. I could probable get by with the 5,truthbe told. But the 10 seemed to have a couple more features. But danged if I can remember what they are now, past the 5 having FM radio. Bob now your goning to make me think to hard. I will shoot you a PM or e-mail tomorrow maybe to see what you have.

So actually he has only lost what 35lb? Dan found the other 50.

You upset the gremlins by taking away thier music machine. Flashing fuel gauge in my experience is the gauge not getting either power or sending unit info. I kind of think maybe something got bumped disconnected etc.

I'm surprised the car filming didnt hit the bike. Awesome the guy had enough moxy to keep balance.

so I am kind of thinking maybe tossing the wired headsets. it all started when I was in Cycle Gear yesterday and the sales fellow showed me this pre installed BILT helmet with bluetooth. I forget now which manufacture he said it had in it maybe U-clear. I know it wasnt a Scala, Sena or big name I remember. Then this AM I have a sales flyer e-mail from another motorcycle supply company and they have the Bell Mag 9 that is set up for the Sena smh10 on sale. We like our mag 8 and the the 9 has the drop down inside shield. So I get to looking. $$$$$ then researching and you tube etc. To me it looks as though the Sena has good features, and not really much more than if you upgrade wired headsets. I had to wire in additional plug so I can run ear buds just so the sound quality is good enough on Ic and radio I dont have to ask the wife 'huh" about every 4 words with the J&M headsets. also we had alot of background woosh, so installed the button type mic mute things. So how are the Sena bluetooth headsets? How is sound quality from factory speakers? I am thinking I will get the mount that you can use earbuds for me and just by-bass the whole speaker route. How is the background noise from mic? How is the sound and volume from the units?

I thought mountian home afb was in Idaho. Thers another one.

Guess it depends on what YOU think its worth. Where it is from you and cost to get. Check your local craigslist and news papers and see where prices are at. Last week I saw an 02 with 50k for under 4000 about 100 or so miles from me.

I believe as long as there is enough gas to cover the pick up it will idle. Dont know as you can actually ride it as there wont be enough fuel supplied. If the fuel pump is ka-put heres an easy fix. OK well semi-easy. not much more than replacing the going to fail again points

So pretty much this thing is like the old "smog" pumps were back in the late 60's. just an added on piece to make the emissions read what they wanted them to.

++ on Tx idea there. Possibly the item your trying to remove, give a outward pull once all other hardware is out. Something to pull screw out so it starts to grip. I was thinking the head was gone.

Jackets? WOW must have a little coolness. I'm envious. We will get to go up that way in Oct.
