Hello, my name is Eric. My wife/riding partner of 30 years is Melanie. I'm originally from Wisconsin, she from Colorado, but we have lived all over the place until finally settling in northern Alabama for the past 11 years.
Back in the day (early 90's) I rode a K100LT, then inherited a GL1800 Goldwing in '04 from my father-in-law so gave the LT to a friend. Loved both those bikes. Sold the 'Wing in 2018 and have been bike-less until last week when I ran across a very gently used and well maintained and kept '99 K1200LT at a price that I could not pass up. So we're back in the game!
A couple of things I want to do to the LT include 1) finding the best way to mount and power my iPhone which will be my GPS and primary audio device, and 2) removing the stock radio (it hasn't aged well) and either replacing it with something modern that I can also connect my iPhone to, or just ditching it altogether and reclaiming the top storage space. We have the Shoei/Sena radio/intercom helmets, so we will primarily using that for audio, but every once in a while I like to blast the speakers for some open-air sound.
If anyone has any recommendations along those lines, please let me know!
