Thanks guys! I appreciate the info. If I can't get this to work over the weekend, it's going back and I'll look at the Skene. Have a great weekend!

Turns out, the yellow wire i was after doesn't quite work for my needs. The yellow wire on Gen 3 LED bikes is +12 Volts when OFF and 0 Volts when the high beams are on. The controller I have doesn't work like that. My next question; is the Low Beam wire the same? Does it have +12 volts when...

Thank you Steve! That should help a lot!

I'm trying to install a couple LED driving lights with a dimmer and high beam bypass. I can't seem to find the "Yellow Wire" i'm supposed to connect the dimmer controller to. I've searched this forum, as well as Google. I'm finding plenty of posts saying to "connect to the yellow wire", but I...

I had been using a Zumo 550 for the last 10-12 years. It's starting to show its age a bit. And, it didn't work great with my new Cardo Packtalk Slim. My phone is a Samsung S9+, so it's got a decent size screen, and it's waterproof. I modified my gloves by placing a small slit in the pad area...

For anyone in the Orange County, CA area that is in the market for a new helmet, Mission Motorsports in Irvine has quite a few on clearance. I was looking for a new Shoei RF-1200 and they had 4 or 5 on clearance for 50% off! Yeah, under $300 for a brand new Shoei helmet. They said they were...

I've got my phone mount all setup and it works great. Easy on, easy off. Currently, I'm using Android Auto as my "all-in-one" app, but it's not really designed for motorcycle use. What apps are you using if your mounted phone is your go to gadget for GPS, Music, Phone, etc.? Thanks! Rick

Thanks for all the great input. While I try to charge away from the bike when I can, sometimes charging on the bike is more convient. I think I'll try installing a USB, always hot plug. That will give me the option of charging on the bike when necessary. I could also charge and ride if...

Yes, that was why I was hesitant to purchase from that site. Thanks Brian. But, I don't need the ram bone. My phone mount has a 1" ball, so I'm looking for the 1" ball on the center nut to connect the two.

Good to know, thanks John. I guess my next option would be wiring a USB charge port into my FuzeBlock. Knowing the unit should stop pulling power when it hits 100%, and being the battery is small in the Cardo unit, I would assume I should be fine leaving it charge on the bike for days at a time.

I'm using a Cardo Packtalk Slim and had a question about "On Bike Charging". Can you, should you??? I've got an '18ES. Can I plug the headset into the charging port in the glovebox and charge the unit overnight? Or, leave it plugged in for several days at a time? Will the bike's battery be...

Thanks for the link Raesewell! Do they happen to have a USA distributor?

Just reading several other posts, they say Larry is not around anymore and the site is seldom checked and products are frequently never shipped. Email and Phone contact attempts are also not returned. How long ago did you order from them?

I'm in search of this part (Triple Tree Nut Ram Ball), or something similar. I've seen a few ram ball mounts like this, but much taller. I'm trying to keep this to a low profile as my ram connector is a little long. I'm trying to mount a RAM-X for my phone on the triple tree nut, but I don't...

Thanks again for all the great replys. Jayke, I ended up taking your advice and stuck with Olympia. My last one lasted 10 years, and that says a lot. I ended up with the Olympia Richmond. Very nice jacket with nice armor. Fits great and is very comfortable. I like the adventure style...
