Thanks, Mike! Yeah, it sucks ... but it's for a very good reason (not bad - extremely good work related stuff). -
Bad news, Mike .... I have to cancel out at this time. Something came up. I figure it's easier to re-join later if things change and gives lots of time for you to fill the space. :(

Saddlemen Seat Kits Anyone Have Experience With Em?
JNBarrett replied to v13's topic in Seventh Generation VFR's
I love mine ... let me know if you want to stop in and see it. -
Right? ;) ... that said ... entirely possible this week here in the middle of Canuckistan. It's -30F with the Windchill tonight. :(

What the literal fawk is that??? I'd just replace the whole damn thing and hope the pump itself is OK. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Honda/Motorcycle/2000/VFR800FI+A/FUEL+TANK/parts.html

I have! It's great - I know a guy who has one. After some thought though, I like my camera mounted stationary to the bike. After watching a lot of videos with a head mounted cam, I find it irritating all the bobbing about and and looking around. I know another guy with a Sena Backpack for the GoPro. We used it on our trip last summer around Michigan's UP and Wisconsin Alphabets. It works fantastic.

For me it's about the camera mostly - I like to record video of my trips. I can do without the rest of it, although it is nice to have communication in a group - when I'm not, I'm listening to music and enjoying the ride.

... and rightly so. Unless there's an actual 'ready to ship' product, you run the risk of losing your money. Crowd Funding is an investment, and like investors, you are taking on risk with many crowd funded projects. The reward is usually to be amongst the first to have it and at a considerably reduced price from retail. Just do a Google Search for "crowd funding failures". Some have raised a lot of coin, had prototypes, and nothing was ever produced. :( The only Kickstarter project that I've been 100% satisfied and happy with (and that actually made it to market) is the Atlas Throttle Lock. I love it! All that said, I've been patiently watching and monitoring this product in development: http://www.ridenuviz.com/

This is something I keep going back and forth on as well ... I'm not sure I want to add the extra weight on the helmet. I was going to try and get in on the Fusar but then what am I really accomplishing? I already have a GoPro and I can buy a headset at any time ... I rarely use GPS and prefer the clear top map pocket along with some real maps (easier to find adventure at stops vs. a tiny screen).
-
LOL .... I just bought a Gerbing heated jacket liner. :P
-
I'll say .... feel bad for everyone who funded the Kickstarter. I've been burnt on crowd funding twice ... I won't be burnt a 3rd time. I also refuse to be an early adopter anymore. Too many bad experiences. All this happened in the past few weeks (one of the course of a year now)
-
True enough, but it would seem the same would go for the Fusar Mohawk and Skully. Has anyone seen either of those?
-
Ah yes, the headlamp is also in my gear list and really handy - though I typically don't ride through the night. For more space, use giant ZipLock Spacesaver bags. You'll be amazed at how tightly your pillow, sleeping bag, and clothing compress without any air in them!!!
