    Air conditioned helmet?

    Yeah, I wound up playing with some Peltier CPU coolers attached to a fluid cooling block to see just what effect you could get with a small cooler. Never went anywhere with it though.

    Air conditioned helmet?

    Interesting idea. I've played around with some piezo-electric cooling projects as a hobby, but this seems pretty neat. If only it came in a modular. https://feherhelmets.com/collections/helmets/products/ach-1-gun-metal

    X-creen windshield extender

    I'm using the China knockoff (equivalent to the larger XScreen) on a touring screen. It really makes a difference. I had tried the small XScreen before and it wasn't nearly as good for me. The only downside to the China clone is the hinges seem weaker than the original, so if you want it to stay...

    FJR Has Gotten Too Heavy. What To Buy?

    I actually like it. But I'm also partial to things that are a little off the beaten path.

    sena crap

    My phone is my goto device for all maps, tunes (Spotify/TuneIn Radio/XM Mobile), etc. I use a 20S, and I'm tempted by the PackTalk Bold due to the new JBL speakers, but haven't made the leap. Also, in my experience, Waze and Google Maps will only have issues when there is no signal if you didn't...

    The Hog Phenomenon

    I rented an Electra Glide Ultra Classic for a few days in Florida last October. It was a very nice bike, but there were a few idiosyncrasies that kept me from loving it. Engine-wise, I thought it was very good. Not my FJR, but then again it was probably 300 pounds heavier. But the seat, while it...

    Phone App for an "All-in-One" use

    For Android I was using something called DriveMode. It's an alternative to Android Auto and works pretty well. I'm back on an iPhone now and tend to use Waze and voice commands a lot. I never really found cell reception to be an issue since I keep HereMaps installed with offline copies of all of...

    Echo in Sena 20s

    Finally got around to checking this and didn't see a setting for microphone sensitivity. According to Apple, the noise cancellation setting on the phone is for ambient noise when the phone is held to your ear, not for Bluetooth connections. I'll keep trying different things. Even if it means...

    Echo in Sena 20s

    I'll check that. Mine runs pretty much at full volume to get through the ear plugs and the wind noise.

    Echo in Sena 20s

    My wife frequently reports that she gets severe echo when talking to me during phone calls on the 20s. This hasn't always been the case, but I can't track it to anything obvious. To me, callers sound just fine. But she (and others) gets echo of the conversation on their end). My setup is: 20s in...

    New smart helmet

    Has anybody seen this? At the price point it certainly seems too good to be true, but I might be tempted to get one just to see it. https://www.rejoicebuy.com/product-p731930.html

    GYTR slip on

    Well if Scooter decides he doesn't like them, I'd be happy to take them off of his hands. :)

    GYTR slip on

    3rd. Although that may be a statement made in vain. :)

    No helmet lock?

    Hud, try putting the helmet in the right case facing backwards. My Neotec with a Sena 20S attached fits. I used to run a Sena 5FM and it fit as well. The left case is a little tougher even for my wife's smaller helmet since the helmet likes to slide a little before I can get it closed.
