Nolan N90 no problem with prescription glasses or sunglasses. It's a modular, comes with internal flip down sun visor and pinlock shield.

Reply to my own post. Took her out his morning. Temp in the low 40's. Tourmaster Heated vest (on low), Tourmaster Heated Gloves (on medium) and OEM grip warmers on about medium. I couldn't believe the draw from the grip warmers! I was in the green even when idling with gloves and vest but...

This is to be used for heads up monitoring. I believe any "ignition on" circuit will do. It will work also if I hook it up to the battery but If I hook it up directly to the battery it will drain the battery when the bike is turned off. I actually ended up hooking it up to Randy's horn...

Thanks for the tip. I'll patch into the the purple wire, which i guess is the +. I suppose the ground can go to any - or the frame. I just have to figure out how to remove the panel. I'm going at it tomorrow! Really appreciate you taking the time to assist me! Fred

Got stranded a couple of times this winter with a dead battery so I'm trying to install a Signal Dynamics LED voltmeter. Should be simple right? I'm trying to find an easy access point to a switched or ignition on circuit. I have removed the small panel behind the glove box o the left to get...

Why park it? Enough dry days in the NE to ride on thru the winter. My rule of thumb.... wet icy really cold (<15 degrees F) leave her home. Otherwise with heated, vest, gloves or grips you're good to go. If parking only use sidestand for the briefest stops!

Do :rolleyes: a search on You Tube for "pick up Motorcycle". You'll see several videos on there showing the technique. One man or woman job. Easy!!

I feel your pain. Dropped my 3 days owned '07 AE showing it off to my barber. Was rocking off the center stand, had the front wheel slightly akimbo and in a sec both me and my baby were on the ground. Only the slightest scratch on the bike, very large dent in my pride. Regained that as I...
