    Clearwater Lights Glenda / Krista Group Buy

    I also would love to grab a set of the Krista's w/brackets. I won't be able to make the purchase until Sept 1 however, gotta close on my house first... Tom thanks for setting this up, glad I didn't buy them last month like I was planning to! Thomas

    Looking to Buy a WheelDock

    I own a wheeldock and have had nothing but good luck with it. It's very easy to use and worked perfectly trailering the FJR from NC to Daytona beach in a 20' enclosed trailer behind a motorhome and also in the back of a 40' moving truck from NC to Tampa when I recently moved. It's one of those...

    Tampa Bay and surrounding areas

    I am on the list for the 2/26 ride. I will see you guys there, looking forward to it. Also kf4zra I have not done the install, but if you want any help, let me know. I am sure between the two of us and some documentation on this site we can get it done. I have had most of the components...

    Indy at Homestead

    I'm sure ISC did some advertising, but given how hard a time we have had filling seats for NASCAR races, low attendance at an IRL event doesn't surprise me. If you notice HMS is not on the 2011 IRL schedule... actually if you look at the 2011 schedule, ISC is not hosting any IRL events....

    windshield issue

    I had the same issue, also using the Yamaha Touring screen. I had most of the plastics off to repair a hole in the header (thanks to a rouge rock) and decided to pull the nose piece off to investigate. I tried lithium grease and everything else I could find but it still was an issue, until I...

    Need suggestions on wiring loom, wrap or tape material

    I have 4 cable runs from the rear of the bike to the front in split loom. 2 power runs on the right side of the frame and 2 audio runs on the left. Both run through the engine "compartment". I taped the loom closed with a round or two of electrical tape every 4-6 inches and have had no issues...

    WTF is wrong with Verizon??

    Phone companies are the worst to deal with. We have to order 2 or 3 regular phone (POTS) lines and 2 ISDN lines at every event location we go to which winds up being about 25 orders a year and every provider imaginable. It's a good thing that another engineer here loves yelling at phone company...

    Mounting a 2-way radio in the front fairing pocket

    Jon, I am wondering if the unit would fit under the seat, but I can't seem to find dimensions without the control head attached. There isn't great ventilation there but if you mount it in the glove box I would think heat would be a bigger issue there then under the seat because of the proximity...

    Hero of the Greatest Generation

    Great video, thanks for posting. The P-51 is such an amazing aircraft, as are the pilots who fly them especially those who flew combat. I would truly love to take a flight in one. I work in the NASCAR industry, so every once in a while we will get to a track to setup for our broadcasts and Jack...

    Scorpion EXO 900 Helmet

    My main helmet is the EXO 900. Overall I enjoy it, especially the ability to open the face shield for extra air at a stop light during the warmer summer months. I will say there is more wind noise from this helmet then my other two Scorpions (3/4 and standard full face). I always wear ear plugs...

    Windshield Issue

    Thanks for the help guys! Even with the new grease it was still chattering until I realized that there might be a reason for the top bracket. So I put that on and tightened everything up with the plastics still off and everything worked well. I guess that top bracket keeps the outer runners from...
