- Eastern Beaver 3 circuit fusebox
- Cyclops LED headlights

- two hardwired mini USB adapters
- GPS mount (Garmin Drive 60)
- Cobra DSP9200BT bluetooth radar detector - plays through my SENA headset via iPhone. Awesome. Will do a separate writeup.
- Mitas EO7 Dakars front and rear

Dang Mark! You was busy.

Be mindful of the usb adapters as they are parasitic and should be on a switched circuit. I'm sure you know that, but does not hurt to share 'learned' stuffs.

Just peeked at her this morning, but yesterday I picked her up from the dealer and put the first 20 miles on. Also wired up the bike for heated gear, Battery tender, GPS and another Power Outlet. Also added a tail bag for now. The big money changes will soon follow.

Took her for a putt in the Texas hill country today. 67 degrees, clear and sunshine. Retirement is good!

 

[Checkswrecks]

Pretty photo.
It's a whopping 24 degrees here with snow.

 

[VRODE]

Glad somebody's riding! 17 deg. here. Hooked up the battery tender. Making plans for a RDL saddle.

16* in kentucky headed down to 9* tonight and I've signed on to run a 5K at 8:00 tomorrow morning.

4°F here, and managed to avoid an injury this morning in a 38 car pileup in heavy freezing drifting fog, but did write off the car, doh! ::010::


.............. make that 50 car pile, just been updated.

Ouch, glad you're ok. Car accidents suck!

Thanks AV, kids were in the back, we were sooo lucky, waited 4 hours for police to finally get to us for a report then take us off highway and the waited at a local fire station for assessment.
The girls made me proud, not a squeal, a whine or a whinge all that time., watched the rescue helicopters come and go.

 

[EricV]

Glad you & the girls are ok Dogdaze. Sounds like an ugly one.

A mild 22F here this morning. Small snow storm last night. Glad I took the Super Ten to the dealer last night instead of this morning! Valve check/adjust at 108k. First time since the CCT failure/rebuild. Should be interesting.

Spaced out the grab handles by 30mm - my wife was complaining about them digging in her legs - and trust me she is a small frame.

30mm spacers and new M10X1.25 X 80mm bolts.

Looks fine.

In the 30's and dropping. Even down here on the Gulf Of Mexico. Seems Canada blew hard this time.

Miserable and wet too. I don't like it. :-[

I decided I wanted to install a Garmin GPS and Cell phone mount on my bike. I sat on my bike for a few minutes and really thought about if it was worth it to install the GPS on the wind screen mount. I found that for me personally I had to lean over fairly to press the screen. This would make It hard to operate while moving. I decided to install on the left handle bar using a U bolt mount from RAM coupled to a medium ball joint. A wide range of possibilities in position and close to the left hand, almost just a finger distance away.

I also installed the Garmin USB power supply using the USB power wire that can be wired directly to a power source. I decided to wire mine into the 3 prong connection under the right Fender. I wired it to the black wire and the brown wire so it powers up when the ignition is on, and off when the key is off.

In addition I also like to use my phone for music so I installed another ubolt but this one had to be a little larger as the diameter of the handlebars differs in the middle versus the grips. It's connected using a short ball joint and x grip. It all works great, hopefully if anyone is looking for mounting solutions this can help.

You guys have wimpy weather.
-1 * F here this morning.

So I took some pictures of the girls.

 

[Bigbore4]

Ordered a valve cover gasket. It's time for valve check again. As soon as the FJR comes off the lift (valve check also) the Super Tenere goes on. I also have to decide what to do with my suspension.

Thanks for the heads up. I put these on a switched fuse form the EB fusebox. As I did the LED light bar. Had thought about putting the light on a switch and separate relay, but it only draws 2-1/2 amps, so is a light load on the 30A EB fusebox.

Am impressed with the Mictuning light bar. Very bright for about $25, and mounted right up. Used a dremel to notch out the brackets that came with it where they would interfere with the small areas near the mounting holes under the headlight. Very easy install.

Glad you and your family are safe. We had a snow squall come off Lake Ontario and caused a 100+ pile up. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/highway-401-reopens-in-bowmanville-after-multiple-crashes-involving-more-than-100-vehicles-1.3926177
