All 29- Nj Supreme Court Approves Police Can Search Vehicles Without A Warrant Abit off topic, but still confined to the NE. The NJ Supreme Court recently voted that Police can search a vehicle without a warrant, so long as they have probable cause. And the one who decides if they have probably…
- Leaning Blind At Night You joke with that, but there are HID setups worn on your helmet. Granted, they are meant for off roaders who love to ride trails at night, but they provide plenty of light in the direction you look. More complicated…
- Vfr 800 Led Auxiliary Lighting I thought about those when i was working in central jersey next to farm land but couldnt accept having lights hanging off the bike. What about hid's with projectors? It gives more light, around the same draw & all fits…
- Rim Stripes, Need Some Advice! Always used Tapeworks Rimstripes. They are very flexible and can stretch abit, so having it follow the curve of the rim in a nice smooth manor is very doable. Even by hand and just the naked eye, the finished install…
- Hid Headlight Kit Recomendations? Do it correctly, or don't do it at all. http://www.theretrof...products_id=237
- 6th Gen low beam mod, i've thinking about this... You're not going to get far at all if you don't want to remove the plastics or modify any wires. :tongue: That being said, the "fix" isn't that difficult. Just adding on a relay(s), extra wire and prongs and you should…
- Asphalt Black (Flat Black Textured) paint - Touch up? Any ideas if there is touch up paint for the Asphalt Black VFRs that will retain the flat black textured look? Preferably something in a spray can since it not something that needs a high gloss to begin with.
- Radians custom ear plugs (self-made)... My own $2 (adjusted for inflation...) I've tried custom molded ear plugs before, and while they did work pretty well at attenuating loud noises while letting sounds like voice through very well, the material the pair I…
- Any bright ideas? Make some weird projects with them? A catapult with other scrap metal you have laying around? Have you tried ebay just to see if there is any interest? I think turning them in for scrap metal (and $) would probably be…
- What is this? Looks like a camera mount, though it must be a small camera (bullet video cam?) since it appears to mount on the underside.
- Quarter of a day @ JFK...... Dunno if its the norm, since you are connecting flights, but most people tend to arrive at the airport check-in 3-4 hours before the flight, just to make sure they get to it on time. You step out the airport, you may…
- Tightwad HID kit One thing about reflector based light housings, it that by design they will have some light above the cutoff line, unlike (most) HID projector based lights, which have a very sharp cutoff. Some reflectors fair better…
- Tightwad HID kit The problem isn't good night shots. The problem is getting comparative before and after shots that truly show the light pattern so one can see just how much light is showing above what is supposed to be the cutoff line…
- Tightwad HID kit Photos should be taken with manual settings, and with the same exact settings, for a true comparison between the two. Most cameras take some tweaking to the settings to get a view as close to what our eyes would…
- Gyro Camera (mount)?? Search for gyro camera stabilizers for model helicopters and airplanes. There are some DIY plans using a helicopter gyro circuit to run a servo, and even complete systems. I was looking into this myself as I was…
- Fifth Gen HID lights! I'd also like to add (in case my last post wasn't clear enough about it), by design, most halogen reflectors are made to have light above the cutoff line. It just isn't that apparent with a halogen bulb because, well,…
- Fifth Gen HID lights! If you stuck the camera on Auto, the pictures will never show the true light pattern and intensity, as the shutter time, possibly F stop and ISO will be different. You'll need to take the pictures with the same exact…
- Fifth Gen HID lights! I sure hope its a retrofit, and not a plug'n'blind.
- HID Light Scatter - Explination and Solution Nearly the same kit available in the US: http://www.theretrof...products_id=237
- Laptop as a do it all on a moto? I've been looking for something of an upgrade to my current Garmin nuvi, but haven't found anything I like so far. After just doing some browsing, I realized how cheap the price of MS Streets & Trips with the GPS module…
- How to install LED turn signal on '06 and newer. You could also just buy a aftermarket flasher already made for low loads such as LED lights, as well as the same type/pin out of your stock flasher. http://autolumination.com/ There are a few other places to source such…

- Breathing Life back into the machine I've been away from riding, and these forums, for a number of years, and my bike has sat around for that period of time unused. I've finally decided to bring it back to life and just want some advice on what are some…
- Helmet Cams - Spydereye I seriously want the Chase Cam for the mere fact that it does seemless loop recording. I'm looking for something small, shock resistant, and "looks" where I look, for those inattentive "drivers" (aka, retards) on the…
- Hid installation I finally get vacation next month. I was going to just bum around the US and put some serious mileage on the ViFfeR, but I dont think my wallet would survive the trip. So instead, I'm just going to mod the hell out of…
- Hid installation gscott I believe the reflector construction is unique for HID vs quartz bulbs. ?Dropping a HID bulb into a reflector setup made for quartz will not make it a HID light. Whole light assembly replacements are available…
- Hid installation Nomad HID conversion [aka drop-in kits] are illegal Where did this come from? ?Why? Its always been. Its just that now because of 30,000+ complaints, the law is finally being enforced.
- Hid installation Just a little correction. Phillips only makes 4100K and 6000k bulbs. Any other Kelvin rating and your more then likely getting a cheap asian knockoff that will burn out/die prematurely. And 5200K, 6000K is not the…
