Re: The Pelican Box... how do you change channels?
Its easy to change the channels with my gloves on, just lifting the cover and pressing one of the preset channels. If I had the remote, I could change the channels that way also.
Ok, I get it now... It's hinged at the top...

Did you drill holes for the audio, power, and antenna wires?

I always wondered how you could hear the radar detector or if you relied on visibility of the lights. Obviously I'm a rookie with these devices. This would be perfect if I could find something similar to that that allowed me to talk on the cell phone also.
It's called an Autocom intercom. Baehr also make a nice unit, but it is a bit more pricey. I have reviews of both units posted here:

petey,
You might want to tell us how you have it hooked up...
Well, I installed a switched power terminal under the seat. The roady is mounted on the break reservoir, and I've got an "Autocom" Pro 7 as the amplifire. I had a roady hooked up on my '03 ( now I have an '06 ) with a J&M-2003 CB and didn't have any problem with ignition noise at all. The radio works fine other than the ignition noise.

 
Once I got the FJR Goodies ECM shelf, I was set. The bike's been relatively the same since the 2003 IBR. I did add the Sirius antenna to the left this past year. But that's about it.

I pipe the audio of the V1 and Sirius (or MP3) into a MixIt that then feeds either straight to my ear monitors or into the aux audio input of the Honda/Clarion CB/Intercom.

The Mp3 and/or Sirius receiver reside in the tank bag which is powered through Jastek bulkhead fittings.

My FJR cockpit - Escort 8500 X50 radar mounted on left spare mirror hold, Lowrance I500C GPS/MP3 player combo mounted on stem ram mount; not obvious is an Autocom Intercom mounted under seat with the push to talk button on left thumb position.

Rogue,
How did you mount the cruise control switch? I'm looking for a way to mount mine with the J+M CB2003.

Thanks!

I cut a piece of sheet metal and use longer bolts to mount my cell phone and CC.

Howdy all . . .sorry for intruding on your board but I received an e-mail inviting me to check out how our Littlite products are being used on cycles.

First of all, thank you to all of you who use our products. We know our products are pricey (more on that later) and we always appreciate it when someone trusts us with their hard-earned dollars.

Although our lights were not designed for cycling use, we realize that a lot of them find their way in the cockpit of many motorcycles so we’re always interested in feedback from these users.

I would like to address a couple of comments if I could:

Our products are not sealed for protection against water. We are not aware of any problems caused by Littlite use on a cycle but it’s something we always like to mention.

Littlite LED lampsets do not include a dimmer. There are a few reasons for this but the primary one is the fact that we could not source a suitable dimmer in time to meet our product launch deadline. We are in design stages of a new model, which will include a dimmer. It’s still a ways off but we’re on it!

Yes our products are expensive. We still design and build our products in the good old USA and source as many of our components as possible from US suppliers. This impacts the cost of our products since we aren’t dragging in boatloads of trinkets from other countries.

Please keep in mind that we do not build disposable products. Littlite products are protected by a generous warranty. If your Littlite fails under normal use, we fix it. LED arrays have a two-year warranty; all mechanicals (dimmers, switches, goosenecks, etc.) have a lifetime warranty.

Thanks again!
