    Speed cameras and radar in Arizona

    This stuff only spreads & gets worse. Yes in some cases safety is improved; but in many, if not most, it becomes all about the $$. I don't know anything about the laws or polices in AZ but personally I would be working with the opponent of any polititian who pushes this type of big brother...

    Gen II Front Cowl removal?

    It sounds like the info in the Pdf bulletin would be valuable information. Is there anyway to convey a simplified or similar information document that does not cause issues? It sounds like perfect Bin of Facts type data that many would benefit from. I seem to recall that one of our more...

    Laser on or off

    Laser on-at least one known save by it. 1/4 mile behind several cars being checked & the beam happened to sweep across the X50 which went off. On my 05 I had several false alarms until I aimed it slightly away from the LCD display. No more falses after that. Might have had something to do...

    Alarm advice please.

    Scorpio here have had no issues & would install it again. Only comment I have is that there is a minimum of control buttons which do several functions, if not used regularily some of the less used functions are easy to forget how. Best of luck

    Any Audio/Videos Experts out there?

    A wild guess on my part. Something heating up & then going out of spec. in the receiver. You might call DirectV. I had their service for several years & then the receiver (I had bought elsewhere) died. I called DirectV & they sent me a new one. I didn't even have to sign up for an extended...

    What is your favorite folding knife?

    Swiss Army Knife-Deluxe Tinker Model for MANY years Always handy & I've fixed LOTS of stuff with them............Been called MacGyver more than once after using it. Serves lots of purposes in one tool on the FJR with limited space. Not as big & Heavy as some of the more complex Swiss Army...

    Datel

    Think red hot wire inside tupperware without the fuse if it shorts out-Also think small fuse if all that is on the circuit is the Datel. I would probably go with either AWG #16 or #18 wire with perhaps a 1 amp fuse. The wire size is more than adequate for the Datel load alone and voltage drop...

    CB Antenna Mounts and Trunks

    I used Aluminum barstock from Lowes & put in longer screws to hold it from the Givi mount. Different CB antenna but the same method should work for you. Best of luck & Happy Holidays.

    AM/FM radio

    This has been discussed from time to time over the years. Personally I tried several different portable radios including Sony, Radio Shack & others. I tried attaching antennas to them. Generally the results for FM are ok within 40-60 miles of the transmitting station. Beyond that it gets...
