    HID Continuous Run Time

    DC, Last May I left Wilson, OK. on hwy 70 bound for Grants, NM. at 3:00am. Ran the Solteks for 2+ hrs before reaching Davidson, OK. on this lonely stretch on hwy. and don't remember meeting one car. :dribble: I installed these units primarily for my trip out to MS. and back last spring...

    Autocom AVi

    Craig, I placed mine under the seat with a Kenwood radio as noted in the photo attached. Once the volume is adjusted, you don't need to mess with it after that. I made a simple mount out of Plexiglass and velcroed in place. Hasn't moved in two years. Autocom and radio installed: Plexiglass...

    Second Gen Headlight Modulator Recommendations

    Dave, I use the Kisan on my '06 and am glad I have it. A very easy install. It modulates on the high beam during daylight hours and has a light sensor to defeat it during dark hours. I don't use it all the time as it does annoy <_< other riders when riding in groups. :rolleyes: It...

    Boostaroo Amplifier

    Hi Don, I use the Autocom and tied the Zumo 550 through it. I was happy with the sound quality and level until I used the bluetooth feature for my cel phone. The volume was lower and quality poor. I installed the Boostaroo and had to turn the Zumo volume down to 50%. The Boostaroo works and...

    Nor-Cal Ride Oct. 17th, 18th and 20th

    I hadn't planned on making this ride but decided to play hooky :whistle: from work Friday and at least ride as far as I could. I'm really sorry I couldn't make the entire ride but I promised the grand kids not to miss their soccer games. I had waited on the overpass in Oroville to catch a...

    NORCAL: Lunch in Grass Valley 12/15

    Thanks Steve but the boss says I can play all day :yahoo: and I haven't been out riding for awhile so I'm going to get in as many fun miles as I can. I think I will head on over to the Starbucks to join in on the morning ride to Ikedas. After lunch I'll hang in with the group to Grass Valley...

    HJC Helmet with Sunshield

    Jagermeister, As shuswaper noted, you install just above the line of sight. It shades the eyes when riding into the sun and when the sun is on the horizon, just tilt your helmet forward a bit to block out glare. The Sunblocker is just a tinted (you can easily see through it), "decal like"...

    braking distance

    A "deal breaker"? <_< You gotta be kidin' me! :blink: Dude. Just hit the brakes 0.262238679 seconds sooner and you'll be stopped at the same spot as the Honda, Kawi or BMW. and I'll bet you're just the guy that can do it. :rolleyes: You asked. ;)

    HJC Helmet with Sunshield

    I use the "Sunblocker". Easy to install and remove and very affective. At $16.00 it's a cheap fix. :good: You can find it at: https://www.helmetheadcyclegear.com/cgi-bin...=%20Sunblockers

    We Lost a Friend

    I am deeply saddened by this news. Last February I had the good fortune to meet and ride with Andrew and Sherri on a group ride to Hopland for lunch. Andrew and I had an opportunity to visit after lunch as Sherri was not feeling well and resting before continuing the ride that day. Andrew was...

    G2 Ergo Throttle or Spring Unwind or both?

    I use the G2 and let one twist off the throttle spring on my '06. Throttle on response, (smoothness) is greatly improved and less spring tension still allows quick throttle shutdown with much reduced wrist fatigue. :fan_1: This is a cheap fix for a couple of problems. I later installed an...

    Wiring in my new Soltek HID's

    Sorry DC, Didn't think any of you ol' guys might actually try to read this Schematic. :blind: Actually did the drawing in AutoCad, in which, I use a black background. :poster_oops: I found a way to invert the colors....see if this helps. Rob Edit: Geeezzz I'm not sure that is any...

    Wiring in my new Soltek HID's

    I just received my HID mounts from Skyway and will be hookin' em up this weekend. I decided I would like to have the option of using my Highbeam switch to operate the HID's when I'm in the boonies but not necessarily when I'm in traffic. So I installed a miniature 3-position, toggle switch...

    Fortuna for Salmon Oct 19th, 20th and 21st

    Dang Steve, I'd love to join in on this one as I've been dyin' to ride this area for a long time now but this is the same weekend I commit each year to an annual fishing trip to Eagle Lake with my work mates. I would like to have a copy of your MapSource route as it sounds like a good ride and...

    Skyway Motorcycle Accessories

    OV, Thanks for the update, hope one of the bracket sets you stuff this weekend are mine. If I wasn't up to my arm pits in my own 12/7 schedule, I'd be there to help also. Glad to hear things are getting back on track. Hang in there Ian! :clapping: Rob
