Added my dash toys

[roy]

Cut loose from work today at 1/2 day. Went and picked up my license tag $$$, Mississippi has to be the highest in the nation for this. Went straight home and added my old ZUMO 550 and Valentine 1 radar detector. Very easy install on both with this bike mostly due to the battery location and that cool right side cover where all the electrics hide. I use a Marc Parnes LED light alert on my V1 so you can see it nicely located above instrument cluster. I am robbing my power off the OEM accessory plug on the Tenere, excellent set up. No drilling no carving it all just went right on. I have had this stuff on my most recent bike a Bandit 1250. My ZUMO 550 is getting a little long in the tooth so a ZUMO 665 is in my future. Anyway here is another crappy iphone pic (damn I hate this phone why does everyone like it and this is the 4:). A nice new point and shoot camera is in my future.

Nice radar detector and GPS

Well now you won't get lost and you won't get caught by the feds for not getting lost at excessive speed. ???

Excessive speed is what the S10 does well, feels like you doing 40 when really your doing 75mph. Was not going to add the V1 on this bike but after only one day riding I decided it was needed.

The OEM plug is a cigarette-lighter type, right? I have a BMW plug on my GPS, I'll either have to switch it or get an adapter... I had a cigarette-lighter plug in the past, but found it male part wiggled out on rough roads. I hope the OEM one doesn't do this, might have to get switched out if it does.

No wiggle and yes it's a cig type plug same as in my truck. It's working fine for this application.

Yes it is. I'm planning on switching mine out for a Powerlet socket.

I have both. Never know when either will come in handy
