Not to drag up an old post...but I just drove through Atlanta at 5pm yesterday from Rome GA to Charlotte NC. It reminded me of that game Frogger!

Full leathers huh? How much weight did you lose? lol I had to go out to GA yesterday for work, so I thought it would be more economical to take the FJR, especially since I get paid for mileage :yahoo: It was 650 miles roundtrip, 5.5-6 hours each way. The best part was 5pm traffic in...

Aasland Yeah, right on about the amplification. I might have to do a separate amplifier to handle it. +1 on the passenger training Enn!

Yesterday I did a 650mi roundtrip from NC to GA. The heat wasn't as bad as the humidity but later in the evening I could really feel the heat coming up around the tank. It felt like sitting on a radiator..... so I just kept my speed up to help disperse the heat :rolleyes: The temps were...

I have the SENA unit also. I think the sound quality is crappola. So I'm trying to find a headphone set that I can cannibalize the speakers out of. I bought the Sena accesory unit that allowes you to plug earbuds in and I will use that 3.5mm port for my speakers, once I find some. Then if it...

Are you into your trip yet? I didn't think about this before, but this time of year it's monsoon season (as they call it in AZ)out here in NC. Doesn't really matter what you're wearing to stay cool. Because once you have to put rain gear on then you're hot and wet.... but you'll dry off in an...

When bringiong the bike down off the center stand were you sitting on it or standing off to the side? I use the center stand alot, and when I take it off the center stand I'm sitting on the bike and just roll it forward. I also use the front brake to ease it off the stand so I can control my...

I thought he was slow on the draw.... I think its Urban camo

But can he do this?Clicky

FWIW- I was thinking of putting on a "captive" washer on the back of the bolt that holds the black cap over the resevoir top. By captive washer, I mean a thin washer that will keep the bolt from coming off the black cover. This way you could loosen the bolt and remove the cover without fear of...

I've got a feeling that most major components are on backorder. I just went through the same thing trying to find a oil pan gasket. On backorder until Sept! Nobody keeps inventory anymore, it's too expensive to have parts laying around taking up space showing up as a negative balance on the...

Most definitely a good thing! I enjoy some of the more rural areas in Eastern NC, as well as throughout the US where everybody waves. Doesn't matter what you're driving! I really got a kick out of a young boy maybe 5 or younger that walked by the bike and said "look mom, a motorcycle!" then he...

I did a loop up in the TN/NC mountains last weekend and noticed that pretty much all of the other bikers I passed, Harley riders included, either waved or waved back. I was a little surprised that even a couple of large cruiser groups either initiated or waved back. I even had a couple of...

Now that I think about it, I believe I did use the GPS on the way home Monday until I got to I-85. And it was in the glovebox. I'll have to try that again to make sure.

You can buy a 12vdc to 5vdc dc regulator for a couple of bucks from Radio Shack to get the proper stepdown voltage. I also sourced a panel mount usb, but I like that little unit that Tree Doc posted up since it's already made up and it costs the same as building it.

I just did a weekend trip out on the Cherahola Skyway, the Dragon and Moonshiners 28, yeah it was awesome! But I regress... Yesterday on the way home I got caught in a gully washer but I had time to stash the Droid in my glovebox so it was fine. During the beginning of my trip I found that I...

Yep, exactly as described! I appreciate your feedback. The job is complete. It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks all!

I was able to use the old gasket and its working great. I had to wait until this morning to get a new coolant drain crush washer, but other than that she's 100%. Due to family sickness and the work on the bike I postponed my trip to RI. Instead I packed up and went to the mountains instead. So...

Me and Jack (Daniels) are having a serious discussion right now... I got the pan on, the bolts snugged up and thought I would just check my smaller torque wrench before I screwed something up. Good thing I did, it's locked up tighter than dicks head band. My other wrench is too big so it looks...

Very nice! That was one of my beefs with the home screen on my Droid while in "car" mode. I couldn't configure the nifty shortcuts they had on there. Maybe there is a way, but I haven't found it yet.
