Installing the meter so that it's hanging off the "dashboard" I installed. Having wiring issues though. Orange to an ignition controlled power source, red to hot, black to ground (duh). Anyway...unit stays on all the time and handgrips don't get warm......may go right to battery....really didn't...

Installing heated grips and digital temp/time/volts gauge on my '05. Saw the picts with the install on the '03. Different color wires? What's the best ignition controlled hot lead to tap into? Has anyone else installed Show Chrome Accessories' digital 5 function volt meter? Any help/advice is...

Got picts??

Thanks for your informative inputs.....I've been using this particular helmet since '04 and am extremely pleased with it. Mine's the "older" R05 that doesn't have the nice venting - actually, it has no venting at all. Next step will be the V. The VA state trooper that was on the scene when I...

Good thing you're up and about! As for your gear - sure beats having the paramedics cut it all off of you! I lost a real nice armored tourmaster jacket ta a pair of scissors. My real mistake was in trusting USAA to do the only inspection insead of having my shop do theirs. USAA shorted me by...

Looks cool - can't believe Yammie couldn't bother with helmet locks!

From what I'd gleaned in my research...and someone more spooled up than I may balk at this, the European testing is done at higher speeds than DOT or Snell. Given the varied reasons for having a modular helmet was another consideration - easier to take a drink from squeeze...

Anyone else wear this helmet? The newer (07) model seems improved with ventilation that mine didn't come with. Despite the fact that it doesn't have the DOT and Snell approval, mine performed impressively when I took out bambi on the interstate doing 65 on my FZ1. My insurance company (USAA)...

I am able to use mine with my dash. Have minor issues of them contacting the dash if the bars are turned sharply. They do look at home on my '05, though. Saved my knuckles on more than 1 occasion from debris. If I remember correctly, I was shocked at the price for the two mount bolts...$40?

Thanks all...just can't pack heavy (in typical fashion for me) :rolleyes:

I know yamaha recommends that if you use the rear trunk, you should remove the saddlebags, so as to not overload the bike. Debating getting ther rear trunk. I weigh about 180 with all my riding gear on. Usually I'd go on a long trip alone, but was considering a longer (reunion) trip going 2 up...

I agree, the heat on my 05 is bad - sometimes.....haven't done the heatshield mod - yet. Glad I'm not a guy...."Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....." I'm very pleased with my non-ticker, non-ABS GEN-1!...less BS to break. I recommend getting whatever your butt and wallet are happiest with...

Wondering if anyone has a rear tire hugger on their bike...and if so, where'd you get it? Thanks Sherpagirl....pounding sand in Iraq for 3 more months. :yahoo: A shout-out for Coleman Powersports in Woodbridge, VA with thanks for taking care of me and my baby (05) while I'm gone. Edit: who...

Or maybe add a 20mm cannon.....rocket tubes...and sell it to the military for $10 mil a piece...they'd buy

Am I the only one still in shock as to the number of panels you have to remove just to get to the battery? Finally got a battery charger with permanent quick connect wires. Another romantic Christmas present!!!

That's what was nice about the Fizz...looked like you'd be leaning, but you weren't. Kinda still miss mine, but not in the cold weather. :D

Been searching for a rear hugger, any pictures? Who to buy from?

This thread is useless without pictures!! :D :D :D :lol: :lol:

:P :P :P :P :D :D :D
