  1. Bump still available! Also forgot to mention to that has an additional Rev'it CE back protector as well. Taking reasonable offers!
  2. Decided to move onto a different bike, and my practically new jacket isn't really setup for the cruiser life. Purchased barely a year ago, and only worn a handful of times! Comes in the silver/white color and comes with CE 2 armor in shoulders and elbows. Link below is for pics and full description. I'm 6'4" 45inch chest, so I got a 2XL, fit is great for me. https://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/jackets_jerseys_and_vests/accessory_jacket_liners/revit/sand_3_jacket.html Looking for $350 shipped from FL.
  3. This definitely checks the box right now, but maybe one day I'll get to add to the stable.
  4. I'm really loving it! I've heard that about the network as well. Fingers crossed I won't need it, but it's a nice thing to have!
  5. I ended up grabbing two pairs of the A.R.C. Battle born gloves from Rocky Mountain ATV MC. They reviewed well and the price was definitely nice. I grabbed the "Air" and regular models, since FL weather is so finicky and heat/cold/rain make appearances at the worst times. The fit was pretty good. I usually wear a LG, but need some extra love in the fingers because mine are a bit longer. After using them for two years, I've had no complaints. They ride well, fit pretty good and the D30 armor/leather combo works well for me. Review of the gloves
  6. Yeah...that's my only gripe about the whole thing. I don't want to be that guy who becomes an HD billboard. That being said, some of the new whiz bang features of the police model are pretty nifty! I'm trying to take it slowly and upgrade the essentials, like LED lights all over and maybe some not so offensive slip-ons.
  7. Ended up falling into a heck of a deal during this year's bike week, and found myself getting a bike I've always wanted and checked off a big bucket list item! If anyone is ever looking for a steal on HD touring bikes, that have a lot of features, try looking at some new unsold Harley Police bikes. The seat alone makes it lazy-boy comfy! I'm pretty tall and it's been a night and day difference in comfort compared to my 2020 900 GT. Now to find a way to limit myself to buying ALL the accessories and toys....
  8. When I got back into riding, I learned that I had been wearing the wrong helmets for the last decade. Apparently I'm a long oval and that would explain why I had constant red/hot spots on my forehead after every ride. Decided to change things up, and spend a little extra on a "nice" helmet with some bells and whistles that was also a long oval design. Ended up finding the LS2 Challenger GT and am in love with it. The size was great, the built in full sunshield is too cool and useful. They make a special add-on bluetooth audio by Sena too. I ended up getting a Cardo Freecom 4+ to go with it. Took a little bit of modding to fit it, but it works like a charm now. https://www.ls2usa.com/challenger-gt https://www.amazon.com/LS2-Helmets-Linkin-Ridepal-Bluetooth/dp/B06XBZ1ZZ7
  9. Unfortunately not an alum, just a fan of any and all things aviation. Have a special affection for Convair and their incredible creations though!
  10. Can't say enough good things about the Blaster-X. Super easy installation and VERY noticeable. Fixed the blinker issue with the TST Industries LED Flasher relay, works like a charm!
  11. I just grabbed a Cardo Freecom 4+, as my first bluetooth headset. Previously I just had a plug in pair of helmet speakers, so this is my first experience. I specifically wanted the JBL sound that the 4+ and above offers, and didn't want to buy the lower Freecom offerings and then pay extra to get the JBL speakers. I ride solo, so intercom wasn't a concern either. Got the unit quickly and it went in pretty easily in my LS2 Challenger GT helmet. After some messing around with the speaker placement and updating the firmware - it works great! The voice commands are a cool "feature" but only work half of the time and honestly it's not that big of a deal to me. Phone calls seems to be pretty simple and from what I'm told, I sound good at highway speeds. Overall, can't complain! I'm waiting on my Ram mount to get here, so I can control some of the features via the Cardo app, but for now I'm happy!
  12. Just got back into riding after a few years hiatus - so I needed the full kit again. Turns out I'm a long oval and finding those isn't easy (and explains why my old helmets always left that beautiful red mark on my forehead.) I ended up looking through some reviews and found lots of mentions of LS2 helmets being LO sized and having a pretty good rep too. I ended up going with their Challenger GT one and LOVE it. The optics are fantastic, the built in sun visor is the best I've ever seen and ventilation is great in FL heat. So far I got one little hotspot on the forehead, and had to slightly adjust the foam but it's great now. Added a Cardo Freecom 4+ and I'm set! Only other complaint so far is it's kinda noisy, but I'm tall so unless I get huge windshield, noise will always be an issue. https://ls2helmets.com/uk/road/challenger-hpfc
  13. That's exactly my thoughts. Gotta protect it, so I can enjoy it. Thanks for the info, I'm tall so a seat and windshield are top of the list.
  14. Getting back into riding after a few years without. This is my first true sport touring bike, but had some time with a Bandit 1200, and a C50 and VS700 when cruising suited me. Can't wait to get into some fun with my GT, looking to do some tweaking and making it mine but looks like the GT comes really well equipped compared to my previous rides.
  15. First post. I was looking for a leftover 19 GT and according to my local sales guy, the Yamaha Rep said there's only two left in the US. I spoke with one dealer in TX - they didn't want to come off their price. Ended up finding an incredible deal with Big St. Charles in MO. Still in the crate 2020 GT for $11,500 OTD tax/tag. I'm in FL, so delivery was around $475. Heck of a deal.
