Jumping back here from Mohawk's 5th Gen single-nut topic. Around April this year I decided to get serious about my own 848 wheel mod - I'd had all the parts sitting around for two years or so, as is usual with me. I took the 848 rim, an aftermarket aluminium one-piece 848 wheel nut, the Triumph spindle and my single sided swingarm stand pin down to my machinist and for $60 he cut down and re-threaded the spindle to take the wheel and nut (he's a bike guy himself), and turned down the stand pin so it would fit nicely into the spindle. Then took it all home and bolted it together. Result: I haven't fitted the Triumph rear brake bracket, or checked the chain alignment, so that is next. Might need to make spacers etc. as you've been doing.

My buddy just bought a new Indian, so naturally we had to go for a ride. 1800cc V Twin. I know it isn't for most on here, but it is a beautiful piece of machinery.

OK then, I bought into that offering by putting down a $50 deposit towards the special full kit $199 offer before you guys went public and before that national parts distributor support came in ($199 pricing did include the full kit) so at time of production runs next year I should be receive the full kit w/F7. That is what I was looking for, but all that info & offerings disappeared after you went public. Thanks Ryan Hey BR - if you placed a $50 deposit to lock in the $199 promotional pricing, then you should have received an email with your own special checkout link. We couldn't list that offer on the Indiegogo page, otherwise it would have been available to the general public. Simply click the custom link we sent and it will take you straight to a custom contribution page. Once you pay the $149 balance, your order will be complete. If you need us to resend the link, shoot an email to sales@fusar.com and we'll send it over right away. Yes, we're definitely going to aggregate the purchases! The easiest way to do it would be if you guys were to pool your money and have one person go through with the transaction, but we can handle individual payments also. Once we know how many are ordered, we'll process refunds to everyone for the difference in price. The external battery is a lot more likely than a replaceable battery at this juncture. Our current concept is that it will mount directly to the helmet surface using either hook and loop or a quick-release clip similar to, but smaller than the GoPro mount. Am in for a group purchase. Sounds great! Perhaps we can keep a running tally? In for group buy 1. adeyren

Didn't take any of it negatively - this is all great input! I agree that black box is a vital feature, and I know I will always have mine turned on. If you're happy with your Sena, you can still use it with our system. We'll just unlock some other features that it doesn't have out of the box, like our cloud-based comms. What are your thoughts on the modular battery solution we're now proposing? If this is well received, we're definitely going to move forward with it. Would this clip-on battery be in addition to an internally mounted one or is it the sole source of power? How heavy is the combined unit? And what is the likely running time of the comms/emergency features with this setup? Thanks for discussing this on the site. Yes, the clip-on would be in addition to the internal battery. We're still investigating different battery sizes, so I'll have to get back to you on the weight of the combined unit sometime in the next week or so. The likely run-time with every single feature enabled is at least 2.5 hours, but it's important to note that there aren't many use cases where you'll be using every single feature at the same time :)

Photos from Sunday's St. Andrews-Kinglake-Healesvile ride: Grum's red VFR with an IXIL Pipe. Sounds throaty! And behind that, Cam's black VFR sporting a Two Brothers S1R, Ventura rack, and other mods. Nice Mustang, but I'd still take a Gen-8 VFR any day. Gonna have to have a word to my photographer. :-) Anyone get the feeling we're up to mischief? Also, someone please remind Cam that if he's going any further off-road, he's gonna need to switch to the DR-Z. What's better than one VFR? Two of course. Attracted more than a few onlookers.
