One the many lessons passed down from my father. "When you screw up, man up." I've had some experiences that has drilled that into me more than ever, on both sides of the coin. Karma is a real thing. Kudos.

Doesn't matter what anyone here thinks. If the peace of mind is worth the money to you, that's all that matters. I would take the same course of action (except the whole doing the maintenance myself in the first place ). Consider it penance for being careless and part of the cost of learning...

That sucks. Heal fast pal.

GPS charger you can accomplish for way less than $55. Hide a 12V outlet under the seat, run a car charger with a right angle mini-B cable. Hidden, easy, and cheap. Factory glove box outlet is easy to wire up to constant 12V. Little wire, little solder (or crimp connector if you prefer), run it...

Congratulations pants, well deserved. I still remember the day I let pants ride mine at the first NHF rally. He asked a thousand questions the night before about a bike he'd never heard of. The day of, he was so nervous that he pulled over after 2 miles. Said he didn't want me to feel like he...

Buddy of mine just rode off with a '14 still in the crate for $12,500 out the door. The guy was very clear that he would not lose a sale on price. He said find the best deal you can and I'll beat it. There are deals to be had with dealers that haven't been able to move the 14's. If Gary didn't...

Finally got my tires to my door today. Motorcycle Superstore was very helpful. UPS, not so much. But there's not enough rubber on the current set to get to me Tech Day XI, so I'll just have to go to the same place I usually do.

Made it home about 8:15 and still had a little daylight left still. I didn't see any Goldwing parts along the highway, so I'm assuming Dad made it home OK. A Pay It Forward day for me. Nothing done to my bike, just me and my soldering iron. Got 2 bikes wired with ignition switch Centechs and...

Firstgear carries tall sizes, which is how I ended up wearing them. Been pretty happy with their stuff. Glad to hear they stand behind it.

Have a friend that just bought a Gen3. It is a bit on the tall side for him, so this strikes my interest. Anyway you could do a comparison photo between the two seats?

Figure we have to get from the battery to wherever you plan on mounting the Centech. I like to stick with the red and black color scheme usually. I have miles of 22 gauge. 12-14 gauge will be the most helpful. Needs to get us from the battery to wherever you want to mount the Centech. Plus...

Alright, looks like 1 out of the 3 tires arrived at Bust's house today. Plans are in the works to try and intercept the other 2. So the 1 that arrived is the Goldwing front tire and we'll be bringing the rear tire with us. If somehow I can get my tires there by Saturday, great. If not, I'm...

A relay would be required if you wanted it to be a power source turned on with ignition. The AP-1 does not have a relay, it is pretty much just terminal screws connected to fuse sockets. If you want the power to be hot all the time, we can hook it right to battery. But with the AP-1, circuits...

Well ****! Checked the tracking number on the tires. They've now been moved back to Monday.

I did last week Thursday. UPS says they should be there by this Thursday.

I'm confused. The weather forecast is 62 and sunny for Saturday. I thought rain with chance of snow was a prerequisite for Tech Day.

Just helped a buddy of mine buy a brand new 2014 FJR yesterday. Dealer offered him 15% off accessories for a year, so he opted to not buy a top case then. Figured he'd scour ebay and the forums to see what he could find. Sent him the link. He just clicked Buy It Now, so this worked out perfect!

Sure. Just have to get in line behind Wayne and pista. Unless you're planning on having everything run off from battery, you'll need a relay. You can get a socket harness if you want, or I can solder directly to the relay. Depends on what have to run to it. I'll double check and see how much 14...

My son's pick.

It only works if you have the tinted visor at night apparently. Runs on two AA batteries. The eyesore of a switch is on the right side of the helmet, which I think is why they shot it from the left. I would much rather see something that doesn't look so big on the side of my helmet. I'd rather...
