    I'm short

    All you tall guys are complaining. I'm 5'4, I had my seat cut down a bit which helped a lot, but when you come to a stop just drop your left foot and keep your right foot on the peg. You will only be canted a few degrees. After you do it a few times it will become second nature and after awhile...

    Bluetooth headset

    I use a autocom to tie all my goodies together. (Zumo 550, radar, Bluetooth) works good. I like the ability to make phone calls while riding. The Zumo 550 is a good unit to have. Doc

    Simplest point for GPS-mount power?

    I have a Garmin Zumo 550, I just mounted mine directly to the battery. It has been a few years but if I remember correctly the mounting kit had a inline fuse. It was super easy and just took a short time to mount it. Be sure to use plenty of zip ties to clean up your wire job. Good Luck Doc

    My son ships out Tuesday

    I did my basic at FT. Benning too. Oh and by the way, the gas chamber will clear nasal passages out real good . Just remind him to shave close that day so he'll get a good seal on his gas mask. Good Luck to your son. Doc

    Aliens

    Which Helmet Shield?

    You can get this tint strip called speed tint from FogCity. It fits on the inside of your helmet visor and acts like an extra pair of sunglasses. At first I didn't like it, it seemed a bit too restrictive untill I rode into the sun, that with a pair of sunglasses worked great. Doc

    "Hard Wiring" a GPS Unit, Any Experience?

    I didn't read all the posts but I have Garmin Zumo 550. The instructions say to wire it to the battery. The GPS is a 12 volt system, it was pretty easy to do. I used zip ties to clean the wiring up. Good Luck Doc

    I'm at 42.5K, I do all the easy stuff myself. Oil, coolant and keep the chain clean and lubed. I've replaced brake pads and changed out the brake fluid. I also have a boat load of mods. This fathers day I'm going to get a gel pad to make the seat a bit more comfy. I had my seat shaved down...
