  1. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 3 Mar 2013 18:47 None noted. Someone around here did the 3m on the heat shields over the mufflers. That's where I got the idea from. They reported that a few months later, they still saw no change in the wrap. Here she is ATM...and a…
  2. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 3 Mar 2013 17:02 Both sets of pegs are now blacked out. That chromed heat shield over the exhaust on the right side is CF wrapped. I have no idea what possessed Honda to put chrome on that one piece and the muffler heat shields. I…
  3. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 2 Mar 2013 09:23 Exactly what I'm talking about. Excellent job on the mufflers and shields. I wrapped the vertical heat shield there in CF 3M wrap. Planning it for the muffler shields as well. Are you going to take the next step and get…
  4. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 1 Mar 2013 18:39 Better!
  5. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 28 Feb 2013 23:01 Not a downer at all. I'm seeing that I like the look and then considering powder coat. The paint is well applied. Degrease, sand, heat, paint, etc. But I don't expect it to be as good as powdercoat. That'll be the next…
  6. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 28 Feb 2013 22:26 I'm in Europe. Being able to see me better means they can hit me more easily. :-) I always assume I am invisible on a streetbike. But I will look for eye contact from a driver at an intersection. I wiggle the bike so…
  7. Blacking Out The Shiney Parts 28 Feb 2013 21:36 It just seems silly to me for the bike to be asphalt colored and have shiney parts. I painted the pillion pegs satin black, but the finish wasn't quite right. So, I went back with high heat black. It has a greyish…
  8. Sena SMH10 Intercom system...anybody have one? 23 Feb 2013 19:50 Just took mine to England to pick up a new CBR1100XX. Kept the SMH10 connected to my tablet to feed me GPS instructions and provide music. Drove from Swindon, Uk to Casteau, Belgium 375 miles. Kept the electronics on…
  9. Tablet Mount 19 Feb 2013 19:39 No offense taken. I like the larger screen on the tablet so I can just glance at it if I need to. I don't like my eyes off the road. And the tablet was only $150, so I have less at risk than a phone. Plus, I am in…
  10. Helmet Light 14 Feb 2013 18:41 Yeah, EDC?
  11. Helmet Light 13 Feb 2013 19:29 I'm not sure there is an intended use. But if I have to get off the bike and check something, they are handy and leave my hands free. For them to be pointed at oncoming traffic, I would have to be looking at that…
  12. Helmet Light 10 Feb 2013 20:57 I used the Inova Micro Light because I already had one on my keyring and knew they were bright. You can get them on ebay, but you have to pay shipping. I can get them for the same price without shipping at the PX. I…
  13. Helmet Light 9 Feb 2013 14:45 Long ago, a buddy of mine convinced me of the value of a flashlight being handy. I keep one on my keyring, in the pocket of my uniform and such. So, at the risk of getting too gadgety with my bike, I added a couple of…
  14. Tablet Mount 7 Feb 2013 19:01 I think it will work out. I like that it is bigger than most GPSs so I don't have to do more than glance at it. I like it high so I don't have to take my eyes far off the road. I might like it just a bit higher for that…
  15. Tablet Mount 5 Feb 2013 21:42 The RAMmount set *should* have come with both SAE and Metric botls. There were in both items I bought..... It did. No issues with the mount and hardware. The bolts are just too long. I'll have to cut them or find some…
  16. Tablet Mount 5 Feb 2013 21:24 A seven inch sail doesn't appeal to me. That's why I only want it to peek over the screen. The camera is in the upper left corner of the backside from the rider's view. So, only about an inch would be in the wind. I do…
  17. Tablet Mount 2 Feb 2013 17:34 So, I wanted to be able to have GPS on my bike. I also thought it would be nice to have music. And, sometimes, I might want to take video of my rides. So, I looked for a way to mount my tablet. I have it paired to my…
  18. Sena SMH10 Intercom system...anybody have one? 2 Feb 2013 17:12 Got my pair from ebay for 240. Finally got to play today. Really great having music while I ride and hearing the GPS.
  19. Sena SMH10 Intercom system...anybody have one? 1 Feb 2013 21:51 Just got mine. The weather has kept me from riding, but it seems to work as advertised. Hooked up to my tablet without an issue. I can listen to music and it sounds great. I can send voice commands just fine. Hope to…
  20. Sena Smh10 18 Jan 2013 14:19 Just received my pair yesterday. First impression is that it is quality merchandise. Came well packaged with two USB cords for charging, two auto type chargers, extra mic noise reducing foam, wind screen for mics, hex…
  21. 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl , CAME OUT GREAT!!! 7 Jan 2013 17:28 The chrome on my asphalt colored bike has always seemed out of place to me. I ordered the 3M. It is in. Shields turned out to be a pain to get off the bike, but I'm doing this same thing to my exhaust. Thanks for…
