My primary comm system is the one on my FJR. I have a pro-avi mounted under the seat. BUT, I now need a setup that's portable for mounting in a powered tankbag that I can move from bike to bike. It will get tested this summer on an ST-3 during an Edelweiss trip through Spain. The buddy I'm going...

Very interesting. I've been a satisfied autocom user for some time, but am getting ready for an Edelweiss trip this summer and need a portable unit I can install in a tankbag and use to integrate Garmin 550 and Kenwood GMRS. Suggestions on what gear? P.S. I noticed you have a Pegaso... I'm...

Put 15k on one. Self-installed on an '05. No trouble whatsoever. Not a simple install, but went fine do to the great instructions on this site. Did however blow an injector seal shortly after install. OOOOPS. Didn't properly lubricate and seat the seal when reassembling the fuel system. Operator...

I just saw this thread and want a set. Any chance I can piggyback on this group buy?? Mogan

I put a set of the PHIDs on my steed two years ago and love them. But on my trip through Nova Scotia one of them got slammed by a stray stone. The glass lens is broken but the lamp is fine. Any ideas on where I can source a replacement lens? Thanks in advance!!!

In a moment of weakness I caved to pressure from the wife who said three bikes was too many. I've committed to the sale with a good buyer so I'll go through with it. I'm taking a bath on 10k in upgrades, but that's expected. If she balks at my going back to three bikes I'll trade her in instead...

I hope I didn't post my address, but HARLEY'S SUCK. Hey, if ya want to spend your hard earned money on technically inferior products, lousy performance, marginal build quality and premium pricing...GO FOR IT!

To the extent I can fold my body in half and then tilt my neck at a 130 degree angle I LOVE it. I've ridden quite a few bikes. The MV is no panacea, but its style in unmatched in my view. It really is beautiful. Getting down to nuts and bolts, the engine is smoother than ice cream, tranny is...

The frame. My local riding buddy said, ah... sporting, sportier, and sportiest. He suggested a gold wing for the left side of the lineup. I'm not ready for that. Perhaps a Brutale 910R...

I've seen the base model and the tri-color. I have to confess that this is a very special looking bike. It also seems that Duc is using some top quality components. For a bike at this price point, they're cleaning up in the premium sport bike segment. The sales manager at a nearby dealer told me...

Here are my three steeds for now. Beemer is sold :-( Not sure what the next one will be!

Okay, I wanted to bring this issue to a head for me... either buy a GT or marry my FJR. So I went for a test ride last week on a GT. The results were a surprise for me. The beemer didn't seem to "win" in any performance categories except perhaps braking ability. The absence of fork dive was...

+1... a great product. Have had it on three different bikes. Heard they aren't making them anymore for motorcycles but there's inventory still out there. Whatever system you go with remember, IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PERIODICALLY CHECKING YOUR TIRE PRESSURE MANUALLY. Be safe!

I'm surprised. I thought all of those units were older/inferior from a functionality perspective in relation to the 2830 and Zumo 550. And I don't need water nav stuff. What am I missing?

I just sold my Garmin 2730 with my beemer and will need to replace it for use on the FJR. I had no complaints about the 2730 and got heavy use out of the satellite radio and MP3 player. My only real beef was the memory limitation for MP3s and the fact you had to move through multiple screens to...

I didn't have the GT, just the S. The latter is AWESOME for short trips but not cross country marathons. The ergos are good, but too aggressive for that (at least for me). It also lacks important farkles like cruise control. I'm already regretting the sale of the S, but my wife went BALLISTIC...

Being the owner of an '05 FJR and an '05 K1200S I also have the perspective of a dual owner. I've recently added an MV to the stable and have sold the beemer. But, I've thought about the K1200GT as a possible successor to my FJR. I agree with most of the prior comments but also find the...

I did a trip from NJ to Savannah last week to visit some friends. On the return I was cruising on 95 at about 95 mph through the Carolinas when I was passed by another two wheeled vehicle. It wasn't a cop. Not a motorcycle. Not a jet with gear down. IT WAS A FRIGGIN SCOOTER! The guy was from...

I'm a very BAD boy. I've had my F4 for a few weeks now. I love it. It's so "planted" and very smooth. Easy to control. For whatever reason, I have the bug and have committed to a customizing project with Fast by Ferracci. I'll be installing the same front end and brakes (front and rear) that the...

Is it too late to get on board with this GB? I was asleep at the switch... My bike ran great before I spent $15,000 on farkles, but now it goes backward when I put it in first gear. I'd love a copy!
