I recently installed an HID kit that I bought from a company called DDM Tuning in my Scion xD. Nice kit, well made, very compact ballasts. Works great except for one quirk...the high beam indicator no longer works on the dash. The HID kit plugged into one headlight connector only (oem bulbs...

That would be you giving me the "*****-smack" I deserve. Decided to try it again, and by golly, you do have to push that sucker into the Power Commander until it actually 'clicks'. Heard the click, laptop made the little Windows "found new hardware" sound, and the rest is history. Amazing how...

Looks like an 8983 that's missing the bottom mount/ride height adjuster.

Definitely plugged in securely. Like I said, if I remove the mini end from the PCIII and plug it into my phone, it sees the phone right away, but sees nothing when plugged into the power commander. No 9v battery required if you're doing it with a laptop while the PCIII is connected to the...

I've put this off for quite awhile, because my daughter has had my laptop with her at college. Now that riding season is back (finally), I asked her to bring back my laptop over spring break so I could load a new map onto my PCIII USB. Well, doncha know that the PCIII doesn't appear to be...

And here's one more I learned back when I was always trailering my racebike to the track....put a short bungie cord between the two tie-downs. It helps keep tension on them at all times, so even if you hit a huge bump and the forks compress ALOT, there's still almost no chance of a tie-down...

+1. I tried Yami tall, VStream, and Cal-Sci before picking up an L/L for cheap from another forum member and putting it on the stock screen. Liked it better than any of the others, as it works well without being big as a barn door. I also can't imagine how anybody sitting behind a VStream can...

I once read something from a "wildlife expert" who claimed that deer alert type devices were a crapshoot, as deer tend to dart in whatever direction they're already facing when they're startled. So they're just as likely to run at you as away from you. I've never used them and am happy to say...

WOW! I think you need a new battery! My X1 will easily go 12 -13 hours with music coming through it all day and average amount of chatter between the wife and I. I haven't had a chance to try out my newer X1 Bluetooth on an all day ride yet, but I expect battery life to be a bit shorter...

Well, you don't give alot of info here especially regarding things like your location, riding skill level, expectations for the bike or its intended use for you, but I can touch on a few basics. If you plan on riding in any kind of inclement weather, the V-Strom handguards just might be the...

Well, I can't specifically address the model you're inquiring about, but I can comment on FRS in general. I upgraded from FRS to GMRS because there's just waaaaay too much crap chatter on FRS. I got tired of listening to moms telling their kids to come in for dinner coming through my helmet...

How ironic that I was just reading this thread when my phone notified me of an incoming e-mail. It was from XM asking me to complete a survey on why I canceled my subscription. Timely, eh? They killed off the only channel I liked well enough to pay for radio when they merged with Sirius. The...

Ok, I'm ready to concede. I got the HTC Touch Pro2 last week, played with it for about three days, then took it back to Verizon and got an HTC Droid. This thing is insane! I'm not sure I need my computer anymore. The Droid CRUSHES the Windows phone in both speed and capability. I'm...

Wow...you're gonna have to tell me how you did that. :lol:

Not trying to rain on your parade...honest. But frankly, you'd be hard pressed to find a dealer who'd freely tell you that you had a ticker. I've had two FJRs now and my first was a ticker. Finding a dealer who would acknowledge it and agree to fix it was a nightmare. On the lighter side, if...

It's all about surviving the prototype stage. ;)

THIS should take care of those damn left lane cruising, pokey-assed cagers!

So I'm at the Verizon store now and posting this from the TP2. First observation is that the "Opera" browser SUCKS! It became a completely different phone once I switched it to IE. Gonna play some more.

At my work, they frown HEAVILY on us using their PCs for personal use. You can in fact be fired for it. My Dare wasn't real easy to type acurately on until I recalibrated the touch-screen in landscape mode. Now I hardly ever have a mis-key. It's just the switching between the two keypads...

For typing?? My current phone is an LG Dare which is touch screen only. The touch screen is functionally excellent. My gripe comes from the fact that the virtual keyboard is only 4-row, not 5. If I want to type out an e-mail, it's an endless process if I actually want to use punctuation...
