I would love to see someone do this with a 7th Gen...

Hold off for now...

See this thread:

Bummer, I think it might be time for us on VFRD to help this guy out. Maybe if we all sent emails to the above address and expressed our disappointment with them maybe he could get some resolution... Squeaky wheel...

Is this the first one of this kind to happen?? I haven't heard of any others...

Here was mine.

I second the symtec's. I too have had some issues with the rocker switch but when I called them about the problem, they sent me two replacement switches for free! Have used them on four different bikes with great success and easy to install. I see that you live in San Jose, you can ride on up to California Sport Touring in Rodeo and pick them up (in stock).

Just curious, what was wrong with the Donor Bike? Why not just make the '06 your new Bike and ride it?

Well I finally sprung for a GSP (Garmin Nuvi 550, for 279 CAN$), and RAM mounting kits.

The Nuvi 550 comes with the cigaretter lighter charger cable, but I didn't what to jury rig that on the bike, and besides, I wanted to keep it for car use. Of course it also come with a suction cup style mount which needless to say is not ideal for a bike. I found a RAM mount and power cables at GPSCITY.CA. I ordered the RAM-B-149Z-GA32U (28$CAN) mount kit and the 010-11143-07 (21$CAN) power cable kit. Odd thing is that the cable kit only comes E/W a mounting cradle. Turns out it was a blessing because the cradle with the cable kit is much better thought out.

It has a dummy plug for the USB cable plug when the GPS unit in not in the cradle,

it has a backing plate to keep the connector from coming loose when the GPS unit is installed,

you can install the GPS into the cradle with the USB plug already in place,

and the locking mechanism is a neat cammed lever, so you don't have to fight with bending plastic.

The cradle that came with the mount kit did not have any of those features.

The power cable is equipped with the charger, a fuse, and the USB plug (and a noise suppression inductor). It was exactly the right length to reach the mount.

Here are a few photos to illustrated.

Too bad it's raining now, well I guess that goes without saying 'cuz I'm sitting here writing this stuff...just as well, I have to figure out how to upload routes anyway.

I have the exact same setup... No kidding, same bike too :lobby:

My wife has the GPS in her car right now, so no pic's of it... I prefer the tank-bolt mount over the stem-mount, much more secure. I had the stem-mount before but it moved around to much.

I actually removed all the PAIR equip without any issues all the hoses and the solenoid valve too. No problems with 25000 miles on her. Just go to your local Napa autoparts store and get some rubber plugs and one cap for the airbox. I also got the block-off plates from Ebay... (not as nice as Toro's) So I would buy his if I had to do it over again. P.S. No FI errors after unplugging the solenoid.

That looks superb! To me, the TwoBros VALE is the finest looking exhaust out there.

Will your kid seat mod be facing forward or back then?

Funny, I didn't realize that those pic's were in there. :biggrin:

Just thought I'd post some pic's of my Honda OEM bags with aftermarket exhaust (2Bros. VALE). Yes it can be done, I've heard alot of people say that you can't use the Honda OEM bags with any aftermarket exhaust. Well yes you can, when I don't have the bags on I don't have the stock rear fender on. I usually have my license plate between the pipes, but you can't have it there with the brackets installed (not enough room between the pipes). So what I do is put the stock rear fender with the bags & pipes fit perfectly. Here are a few pic's.

Here are Dallas's Decals installed on my Black Beauty. What do you guy's think?

Hey Warren, I'd love to get a copy of your custom map.

Thanks in advance.
