I have a Scorpion exo-750. I think I've reversed them by accident once, but I still looped them around. It would probably work. The problem with normal earbuds not over the ear is invariably I pull on the cable a bit and pull them loose.

I use Sure SE215's. They lock into your ear and the cable goes over your ear, so they are perfect for the helmet. They are comfortable and they don't come loose. The only issue is they aren't as easy to just put in your ears and go. I bought some of these noise isolation tips for them, but...

?? The accident was beginning of last year, or maybe the year before. I drove the bike home. No tow. Took about two weeks to get all the parts and get it back on the road, so not long. I've been running with just basic gauges since. Just something I hacked together so I could see fuel...

So, I managed to destroy the top half of the nose of the bike, which includes the nose bodywork, windshield, and the gauge cluster. Everything replaced pretty cheap except for the gauge cluster. These things are like $300 used. So I started to make up my own. I've been riding with just a GPS...

Not that it's used a lot around here, but main advantage is it can be used to join differing metals without the problems you get with MIG or TIG. Regular welding usually beats brazing if done well, but it sounds like your father just did it wrong. Some people try to braze like it's welding...

Brazing is better for certain things, mostly where there is overlapping pieces. I rented bottles for a few years. The place I rented from closed and sold to Linde. It doesn't take much to get into it and a welding place will have a starters kit with gloves, goggles, and the hose/gun with...

Clearance limited means you can't increase lean angle so I'm not certain what you mean. As awesome as you are on the vmax really stretching for it, I'm not certain what you would look like stretching to get a knee down on the goldwing. Though if it can be done I'm sure you can do it.

There are plenty of people that don't know about the high rate of theft in Condo parking lots. Write a note and put it on his saran wrap cover. Suggest a chain.

The girls improved better than the boys, but I found that with a lot of motorsports training. I think guys have a tougher time unlearning doing it wrong. I definitely had a tough time reverting back to habits I'm used to after many years of riding. Yes, they had special pucks you could strap...

If the taxi wasn't there it looks like the bike would have landed and kept going. Ultimate stunt if someone can perfect that trick.

I've taken Racer5 (4 days) and Total Control (both levels) and I took them in the wrong order. Absolutely, take the Total Control school first. Total Control is much more oriented to daily driving, obstacle and emergency situation avoidance, but most importantly they are meticulous in showing...

Damn, you even have Kawi green tools. That's some dedication.

Just the strips with no controller are just current limited with a resistors built into the strip. Your 12V ones can handle a certain amount of overvoltage and they will dim/brighten with voltage changes, but it's not all that noticeable. Just hook them up as is. If you don't like how they...

Don't be afraid of the paragraph either. This is a new one to me. People tend to freak out in cross winds, but normal wind in your face doesn't scare most people. Does the bike feel unstable at speed or is it just 'wind' that's scaring you? If it's just wind than just get up to speed. Tip...

I conformal coat the bottom just to make sure there are no shorts. The rest of it does not need epoxy as long as it's not put in a place where it will be submerged or directly rained on. The relay is waterproof and the metal in the fuse holder is tin/nickel plated for corrosion resistance...

I made up a few of these and they are relatively easy to source so I thought I'd put out how it's done and give the info to make your own. I doubt many of you would try this, but here's all the info. The only problem is because of the PCB ordering process you get 10 PCB's at a time. If you...

When I was working on a bluetooth datalogger to an Android phone I thought of and quickly discarded the idea of a starter from it. Starting from the phone is just too inconvenient except as a backup for your key. Somebody else might be able to think of something better, but to truly replace...

WTF? But they wouldn't do that for any other items. I mean a Scorpion helmet can't be that tough to restock. You can't see it, but I have a righteous fist raised in anger at this first world injustice.

Is that the Emmoco board you are using? I'm assuming this is just a prototype and you aren't going to put that mess in your bike. If you need help designing something with a proper protection circuit, let me know. I wouldn't care so much with just an accessory, but just a regular LDO isn't...

Yes, also just got a refund. Both items out of stock. Scorpion helmet and pair of jeans. It's still available for ordering on the website, though.
