FYI, I just noticed that the Sena 3S is now $89 from Revzilla. So an even lower cost, firmware upgradeable, quality product that makes it pretty tough to look in other directions.
Thanks man, I almost bought it! But then I started reading reviews and started wondering about how speakers are going to fit and sound in my helmet - and long story short - I'm going to now buy a Shoei Qwest helmet, which has speaker cutouts and by all accounts is much quieter. I am returning the HJC I bought anyway as it was too small, so now will just spend an extra $200 lol. Can I blame you for that? ;-)
Anyway, I'm may try that Sena, true, hard to beat the price! But my budget is getting blown and I haven't even hit the road yet.
Took the bike to mechanic today and he liked it overall. Needs a new front tire and doing oil/filter change, he said oil looked pretty dirty so recommended another change fairly soon. There's a bit of a starting issue, doesn't fire right up and needs that idle lever on for a good 5-10 minutes from cold, then idles a bit low maybe. He wondered about a clogged fuel injector if I heard him right.
Does anyone have feedback on this tankbag and whether it will fit my R1150RT? Looking at handlebars they seem close to the tank.. I'm thinking I will remove the bar risers as I have long arms anyway, and that might help push the bars forward again, but will also lower them at the same time, so not sure. Love this bags waterproof and backpack design though, even without clear map pocket, which I don't think i need.
