    The New Shoei Hornet X2

    I have been using my X2 for a couple of months. Huge improvements over my DS. Fits way better! Love the helmet! Beware that the Sena 20S speakers do not fit in the cutouts. I had to modify.

    Modular, Full Face, or Dual-Sport helmet?

    Well, thanks everyone for sharing. I ended up purchasing a new Shoei Hornet X2. I liked my old Hornet but it did not accommodate my Sena 20S. I have been using the new helmet for a couple of months now and really like it. It fits like a glove and has some wonderful improvements over the old...

    Aux light plug?

    I have a Garmin Montana that is mounted to the AMPS Rugged Mount. I have been reading on here and it looks like tapping into the Auxiliary Light Plug will give me a switched GPS. I am about to order the connector from Eastern Beaver as many seem to have done. I am also wondering about a couple...

    Switched or not switched?

    I'm not an electrician and only no enough to get myself in trouble. Do I need to worry about amps coming of of the aux lights connection to run my GPS unit? Does a fuse need to be added or will the inline fuse on the Rugged Mount take care of it? I have seen these http://www.easternbeaver.com...

    Modular, Full Face, or Dual-Sport helmet?

    Fitted? Have you actually had an actual fitting session with someone? It's really lucky to even have decent higher end helmet choices at the dealer let alone have someone there that truly knows more that fit than I do. Buying online is risky of course but some places allow free returns. That can...

    Switched or not switched?

    I think running it to the aux lights connector would do the trick. I am assuming that I will just need to find some connectors to mate with the ones on the bike. I have a red and a black wire coming from the Garmin Rugged Mount. Hoping it's that simple. I'd like to save the heated grips...

    Switched or not switched?

    The Montana will prompt if you want to leave on or turn off. If you do not choose, I think if will shut off after a certain amount of time. I just got the GPS and only used it this weekend so far.

    Modular, Full Face, or Dual-Sport helmet?

    Thanks for the Arai/Shoei review. I have owned a couple Arai's and many Shoei's over the years. I have always likes these helmets over other brands. I will definitely be considering both of these helmets in my search. I do like the dual sport/adv style and really like the new features these...

    Modular, Full Face, or Dual-Sport helmet?

    I actually have the older Hornet. There is not a recessed speaker placement with this helmet. I had to place my speakers directly on the inner shell wall and could not utilize the speaker pads and still had lots of pressure on the ears. It's not like I have Dumbo ears either. There is no way I...

    Switched or not switched?

    For this weekend I temporarily hardwired it directly to my battery via the Garmin Rugged Mount wiring just to try everything out. I really didn't like the GPS running while stopped or having to remove it. I am planning to look for the auxiliary light socket and just choose to leave the Montana...

    Modular, Full Face, or Dual-Sport helmet?

    I am currently using a Shoei Hornet which I have had a few years more for dual sport usage before purchasing my Super Tenere. It has been a decent helmet until I installed a Sena 20S this weekend. The install would not allow the speakers a fit without putting pressure on the ears. So bad it will...

    Switched or not switched?

    I just purchased a Garmin Montana 600 and a Rugged Mount which will be used with the Touratech Adjustable Windscreen and Locking Mount. I'm just getting into how i want to set this up on my '13 ST. I am thinking that wiring the Rugged Mount red wire to a hot lead after the ignition key so it...

    Givi Trekker Outback side cases

    Thank you. Very good to know. I'll have to look into this Motostorm for when I am not in a hurry. I just ordered my 58L Trekker Outback topcase from eBay. The black version is on backorder from Givi until at least mid June and they are out of stock everywhere else I checked in the States, so...

    Givi Trekker Outback side cases

    I am curious about the matching lock set for 3. My dealer ordered me the 37L and 48L from Givi. I received those with two separate keys. When I asked Givi about the 2 keys, they said it's because they were ordered separately. I will be ordering a topcase and will most likely get a 3rd key. Is...

    Givi Trekker Outback 58L or 42L topcase?

    I have the Givi Trekker Outback 48L/37L combo side cases. I am wanting the top case to go with it but trying to decide between the 58L or 42L. I primary will be doing road touring to light adventure touring and often with my wife as a passenger. Having plenty of room will make my wife happy but...

    What GPS do you use and why?

    GPS Choice and Mounting I am new here and new to adventure bikes, although I have many years riding off road. I am currently in the market for a GPS (Garmin) to be primarily used on my new Super T for touring as well as some backcountry (gravel) excursions. I might also like this unit to be...

    What GPS do you use and why?

    I'm looking too. I recently lost my 60csx this year snowmobiling. I used this unit on my Honda 650XRL which I just sold to purchase the Super T. I also have a 2015 KTM 500XC-W which I will want a GPS for. It would be nice to have a unit I can switch back and forth between the KTM and Super T. So...
