welcome to the forum ::008::

great write up and thanks for sharing. we have dash cams in both cars and I use a Roadhawk bullet cam on my crash helmet but having to keep recharging the battery is a pain so seriously thinking about just such an install.

i actually fitted a couple of these units to my boat last year. found several different suppliers and even different versions with different lighting etc. you can mix n match to suit and I've found they work very well so far

by your response, I'm guessing that 2013 is the last year of the Gen1 bikes ? is it possible that the US had the Gen2 earlier then we did in the UK ? I know over here a bike can sit in the showroom for months maybe even a year or more and only when a customer buys it does the dealer get it...

just checked the log book (registration) and it was first registered on 4th December 2015. seem to remember being told the bike had been mapped or chipped or something like that so not sure if this makes a difference to the figures. 62-64 is impressive!! now I have a target lol

Interesting, I didn't realise our petrol was of a different quality to the US! I tend to cruise about 80 - 90 on the motorway or dual carriageway but have found that at 90 (or above) the average mpg starts dropping. At low 80's it stays fairly constant but at slower speeds the figure starts to...

Apologies if this has already come up several times but was just wondering what sort of everage most others are getting. I've not had the bike long and still taking it fairly easy and riding quite smooth and the average MPH has risen as high as 54.8mpg My daily commute is a mix of town riding...

if any one else wants the same 'P' clips they are here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00X2Y30Z8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm hoping to get my box this week and will try to get if fixed in place. I spent weeks trying to decide on which size and finally opted for the 42litre over the 58 as I really only use the bike for commuting...

must admit I did worry about that but as they are so simple and so cheap I figured it worth trying. I did buy some better quality ones and also hoping the rubber insert will help. I guess only time will tell but in the meantime I have some spares ::008::

Actually I wouldn't call them running lights either! I'd probably call them spots but that is their official name from the supplier so that's what I called them lol

Thanks, I looked at both plugs on the loom and the lighting one is already in use for the fogs albeit you have to wire in a relay as the cables on those plugs are very small. I could have used the plug for the grips as my grips are wired direct but again it involves wiring in a relay etc so...

Just did a search on fleabay for 22mm stainless steel p clips and there were loads to choose from. Not expensive and so far seem to do the job perfectly. I cheated a little when I wired mine in as I tapped into the low beam circuit which is only live once the engine is running. As the lights are...
