Planning an all day ride from Mono Mills to Kitchener. We'll start at 9 am in Mono Mills, visit Thornbury at the far North and end at the Pioneer BBQ for dinner. I haven't got all the kinks out of the plan yet, but that is the basic idea. The country is picturesque, and the roads are great. If the suns shines we'll ride, if it rains, maybe we'll just join Swifty at the Pioneer for dinner. I'll post this on the calendar as well, so that we can get a count on numbers. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=146&day=2009-9-7&c=1

I recently mounted a Garmin 2720 GPS to my recently acquired 03 RSV and connected into the AUX input. Lots of background humming was solved with a Radio Shack ground loop isolator. I then split the audio out from the 2720 and my Satellite radio with standard 1/8" splitters. The 2720 is mono out and is cutting out one channel from the satellite radio when both are on. Just being connected and not on, the 2720 is messing up the satallite badly. I had hoped to share the AUX input as I did on my prior ride with an aftermarket audio system. I see many expensive solutions talked about here. I also picked up on a few inexpensive idea (thx guys). But after speaking with an engineering type friend of mine, he came up with an easy plug and play affordable solution. It was simple and it works: - Simply put a Ground Loop Isolator on the output of both devices that will share the AUX input of the factory radio. A number of adapters are required to make the transitions from headphone type jacks to the RCA types of the Ground Loop Isolator and back to headphone jack of the AUX input. Everything is Radio Shack available. Wall Mart has the Isolators for $13.50 by me ($18 @ Radio Shack). - In my case, since the Garmin 2720 is mono out, I also had to get a 1/32" mono - 1/8" stereo adapter. - In all I spent ~$40 for the connection hardware, no soldering, just plugs and wire ties. Hows it work? - Adjust the bike volume to a comfortable level and the device output volumes of both units so that the GPS is comfortably louder than the other device, in my case the satellite radio. - Although I have to crank up the bikes volume slightly more than I used to, it sounds just as good as it did before and when it GPS time, she chimes in nicely. Hope it helps... _______________

Greetings all. I've done a search on the site in relation to leaking mono shocks, and am amazed at the result. My mono has just started to drip oil (at 27,000kms) and from my reading of other posts and threads in relation to the same subject I gather that there is a general problem with the unit. Some of you had them replaced by Yammie - both in and out of warranty? Any idea what the problem would be, and what is involved in fixing it? Is it just a seal that needs replacing, or am I up for an entire new unit? Any idea what they're worth? Thanks guys (and gals) - looking forward to your replies. Cheers.
