    Garmin Mobile 10

    Anyone out there have experience with using the Garmin Mobile 10x with a Treo or other smart phone? I'm thinking the GPS receiver can just go in my pocket or in a tank bag. Thoughts?

    Cannot Get GIVI V46 to Close

    I think you're experiencing operator error. I'm an expert, because I went through the same thing with mine when I first got it. Fortunately, my wife was around to bail me out. :dribble: This is hard to explain with words, but I'll try. The red button is for "open"; the black bar right...

    FJR Discomfort

    I had the same problem until I got risers...no problems at all now.

    any ideas?

    You guys are freakin' awesome. It's running like a top now. I charged the battery a while and the fault code went away (that was obviously an artifact of a marginal battery). Then after four or five sessions of cranking with the throttle wide open, it finally coughed and started. I let it run up...

    any ideas?

    Well, it cranks fine and it exhibits no sign of a low battery, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to top it off. I did do a few minutes of testing with the headlight and grips on with the engine off, but have cranked it a number of times since. I'll put the charger on it just to be sure. Thanks.

    any ideas?

    05 ABS. I just installed some heated grips, and now have a non-starting bike. I had checked my grip wiring and everything was fine (grips working and bike running), and then I started dressing and cable-tieing my wires. When that was done, I tried to start the bike and that's when the problem...

    Portugal GP *SPOILER!*

    Who knows what will happen in the last race? How careful do you think Dani will be if he gets a chance to pass Rossi? Or how carefully will he slam the door if Rossi tries to pass him? If I'm Valentino, I give Pedrosa a VERY wide berth...

    Rick Mayer Seat

    I bought a seat from Rick earlier this summer and have been extremely happy with it. I did a 3000 mile trip shortly after receiving it and was very comfortable the entire time. I never would have made it on the stock seat. Admittedly, I wasn't doing IBA-type mileage; but for my purposes, I can't...

    Was That You In Cooke City Montana?

    Missed you by a day or two. There were two of us (05's) there on the 4th.

    My butt has a new hero

    Add me to the list of happy Rick Mayer customers. Got my saddle on Friday, put about four hours on it today, and what a difference! No more tailbone hot spot. My buddy, also with an 05, likes it so much he's already placed an order for one of his own.

    Givi brake light option, or ... ?

    I recently installed the GIVI light kit and am mostly pleased with it. The installation is a little more tedious than it needs to be, but I am quite a ham-fisted mechanic and I managed OK; so I don't think most folks will have too much trouble. The lights look good at night, but are pretty dim...

    Help on Give V46 install

    OK, mission accomplished. Thanks for your confidence-inspiring replies. It just took more pushing and less caution than I was using before. I'm happy with the finished product...the color-matching panel sure makes it look better. And I followed Geezer's advice and ditched the document...

    Help on Give V46 install

    Just got the Givi V46. Installation a breeze except for swapping out the lid for the colored one to match my 05...scary little pieces of plastic that I feel like are going to snap off at any moment (the edge of the reflector, especially). Their directions on that part of the operation are...
