    WOW with the way liabilty and litagation things ae I'm suprised they even let you in the back of the shop. Its allways nice to learna little bit about what your riding aint it? Did you lube the drive pins while you had it apart?

    Which cord do you need exactly. The one from the bike connection to the part at the helmet?

    A second less expensive option is to use a simple "P" clamp from the hardware store. 2 clamps run under $3, once bags are back on you cant tell the difference. For the front clamp on mine I simply used a stainless steel worm type hose clamp.

    Welcome aboard. I sent some links in the other thread you had listed.

    Theres been few posts on guys adding fairings. I would for least expense and hassle of finding brackets etc look towards Memphis shades. If he wants more of a full on faring try reckless motorcycle farings. Mutazu makes some nice looking pieces. These hardstreet look interesting. I would stay away from Viking. I have not heard good things about them. Thin materials and flimsy lock systems. I thought there was a company called Tsukayu or something like that but I cant find my link right now. Mutazu has a very nice selection of styles and sizes, bags, trunks if you wish and even have a faring. (found link for tsukayu)

    Looks as though it is a cam lock or duz fastener. But without seeing the other receptical side its hard to tell.

    I was there in 2010. Most of the freeway stuff was done where I had to go. I say MOST. But it still took over an hour I think to go from one side of Huston to I 10 heading to Lousiana. That place, well all major cities like that are a PIA. If it wouldnt have been for the GPS I was using having lane assist I'm pretty sure I would have been going around in circles for awhile.

    I have 2 covers also. One I use when bike is at airport while I am out of town. The other is a light weight cover sort of a "dust" cover so to speak. It isnt really water proof but will keep the dew off. Usually that is the one I use while travleing. Packs pretty small. Smaller than what my tourmaster jacket will roll up. The other is a Nelson Rigg. I gave around $35-40 for it and its a nice heavy cover.

    I think a momentary flash like up to 6 then steady on is OK in rear. But a continous blink is probably a no no.

    Like the ohter ones cat didnt eat it or anything right? That would be a whole nother deal. LOL One way a guy helped his heat out on his voyager was he installed a bilge fan. He got the idea from the brake blowers used in NASCAR to cool brakes. They come in all sizes and cfm.

    Like I said, aint nothing "free" Its going to cost us some way. Belive me some folks down this way take this "land of the free" WAY to literal.

    Hmm yea the "traffic" cable has a aprox 1"x3" black box sort of thing on it, but it hasne caused me any grief. I use velcro cable ties and wrap the cable and excess around the bars out of the way. I think they also make a regular cable without the traffic update. Either way I dont think your loosing much without the traffic update. I so far havent had it save me anything. But I know if the battery is low and I plug into the PC at home with mini usb it will usually tell me that to chagre faster use the car plug. I wouldnt think the mini usb would be the prefered way.

    Let us know how that "potato cooker" is in the summer time in Texas. Most of the guys I have talked to here in Fl say they have alot of heat of them things. Congrats though, it was one of my finalists also.

    Your payin Don. Somewhere along the line. I've got a couple of friends north of the boarder. He pays like $500-600 or something stupid to licence his bike every year. And can only ride maybe 5 months if that. Smokes (which I dont care) are like what $6 a pack. MAkes sense though, if your gonna smoke sooner or later they WILL catch up to ya. But I asure you nothing is FREE. I just wish these do gooder policticians would quit using that word. Us working folks aint gettin nothing for free.

    ragtop-free version. When you "save as" you select what format. You can also save directly to your GPS device. tim-once in awhile its a little hard to see. There is a brightness you can adjust. Last trip I took in the cage I had some portion of the day I had a hard time seeing it also.

    Nope it creates GPX files that go straight into the Garmin. Atleast mine it does.

    You aint lie'n there brother. I'm not sure a rocket scientist could make that thing work. I use a free progam called TYRE. Will plot your course on goggle maps also so you can see your route. Works well.

    Yes will hit switchgaurd or whatever its called. I had to pull the clip things off the handlebars that hold cables. I think I had to sort of reroute the cables some but dont remember right now for sure. You may have to give them a little tug to get a bit more out of the frame for slack.

    Back in the late 80 early 90 we had some pretty cool trailers guys had made in Ok TEx area. One fellow took the old ice chest style Dr Pepper cooler and made a trailer after repainting it etc. Now I saw one in a coke motife but they are fiberglass. Still looks cool. Lot of hot rods pull those types too.

    Barry the 765 workes fine. No difference in car operation or on the bike. You can change the Icon on it to be a motorcycle if you want. If you have a program you can make your own routes up and install in GPS.

    Hi-Vis safety vest

    djh3 replied to djh3's topic in Riding Gear

    I picked up a bright red firsgear jacket with liner for nothing. I am having a zipper put in it thus why the good price. lol But I think when it get to be in the high 80-90's no way I'm gonna find it very easy to wear it. I might wear my Tourmaster mesh jacket. but the 2 vests I have tried on in the store felt warmish.

    I have seen them around. We stayed on an Air Force Base last fall and when we got to the gate the SP told us we had to have hi-vis clothing. Best I could do was dig rain gear jacket out, they are brite yellow.
