This bike is the bee's knees! There are only 2 little quibbling things: 1-coming from an FJR, the gear indicator is a bit disappointing. I've read a few threads about it, it seems it is one less thing to go wrong since there is no sensor in the gearbox. OK. I have just gone back to keeping track of what gear I'm in for myself, like I did before I bought my FJR. No biggie.
The second thing is...wait.....I can't remember :
Must not have been important!
I bought my first GPS, a Zumo 660 LM which comes with a mounting cradle, I think I'm going to ask a machinist friend to cobble a direct mount to the bar rather than use the Ram Ball mount. Having never used a GPS before, I am trying to learn the ins and outs, I hope it proves to be worth the effort. Yes, they do have Basecamp for Mac now, naysayers notwithstanding, I am determined to make Basecamp work for me. Yes, I know how to use my iPhone, this just seems way cooler! 8)
Ordered Bumot cases, rack, and tool box, should be here Tuesday ::015:: I wanted black, it was a "pre-order" item, so I ordered silver with a black toolbox, got a message the toolbox wasn't going to be keyed the same if it wasn't the same color, so I said just make it a silver toolbox, too. OK. Then the invoice that was emailed to me said the cases and toolbox are black, which is what I wanted in the first place, so now I'm wondering if they are sending me black or silver. Wait, don't tell me, I want to be surprised! I'll be OK with either color, but black will please me more (I think!).
I will post pictures when I get the cases mounted.
Looking forward to getting this set up. Then I'm going to ride the Triple Nickel in SW Ohio, for a shake down.
Later.... ::022::
