    Add on Radio/BT/MP3/USB.

    Well I put this on with little confidence how it will work considering the price $49.99. Well I can hear the radio up to around 65 MPH. The MP3 varies with the song that was converted. The Radio has an external wire antenna that gives marginal reception, but I attached a car antenna and it...

    Announcing the new Madstad Pad (stand) enlarger

    Would that foot bring the bike up more to center, increasing the ease of falling over? I say that because on a level ground standing on the left side you can make the bike fall to the right just by shaking the seat back an forth.

    Running light power source

    You can draw up to 7.5 amps (90 watts). But if you need you could probably put a 10 amp fuse in and get away with it... but thats is high as I'd go.

    What are your limits?

    Getting the highs and lows range I used to have no longer apply as I got older. I was 30-90 F but into my 70's my band has reduced to around 40 - mid 80s. I still have my mesh jacket for the summer and heated jacket, pants, gloves and heated grips. The grips are the only thing I still use...

    I hope to be working on my CTX soon

    I had to move my feet back and down with floor boards and 2" offsets to stop the back pain instead of changing the seat on my CTX. With my feet forward puts me sitting right on my spine.

    Won't start...#@*///

    Battery longevity can be attained by putting a tender on every time you put the bike away even if it's only 1 night. Sulfation occurs in batteries when voltage is below its max and lead acid batteries loose charge 1% a day.

    New and driving myself crazy trying to decide

    You can bring your feet back with floorboards and 2" offsets and or a different saddle and the 2014 was the worse with forward feet. Honda came out with a different saddle to bring the rider forward in 2015 which you should get for the $4995. And I agree $4995 is way overpriced for the 2014...

    Mixing tire brands?

    What I would do? As long as your not going into high speed turns and pushing the handling of the bike I would not change both tires because of manufacturer. Change the front, take the bike out for a spin and if you don't feel any handling problems leave the rear for another time. Why the front...

    Kick-stand Right?

    There's always the roof. Got a ladder? I got 8", all the roads melted but still all over the grass.

    Kick-stand Right?

    Mike, I have a "work around" for your mounting problem. Remember in the old cowboy movies when the good guy was tied up on the 2nd floor of a barn? He whistled and his horse came running and stopped under the barns 2nd floor door and he jumped out spreading his legs and landed on the horse and...
