I was going to do the fairing mount. I think I would rather have the best overall performance and placement of the unit. I don't plan on sharing it with the cage to much and I'll probably use it for XM and MP3's all the time regardless of whether or not I need Navigation that day. So I think it will be more of a semi permanent fixture on the bike for me.
Your right about the weather. It is pretty nice right now. It is weird though. It was 90 the other day and I thought it was like a perfect 70. It will get downright cold as hell at night though. You know how fast the temperature drops in the desert. With all the gear and weight you still sweat and once your wet under the armor and the sun drops you freeze. I prefer it to the heat though. The wrenches in the motor pool are liking it for sure. Soon the rain though and the mud. Love this place.
Purdue school of Engineering (Indy) for me and I live real close to Indy. Lots of the guys with me live close to Chicago. Bears fans. whata do?
Part of the BN is from Northern IN and the other part is down south of Indianapolis.
Remember the 07 super bowl Colts vs. Bears? My unit was working on the border in CA and watched the game at a sports bar in San Diego and nearly got thrown out. Nobody there before us seemed to care too much about the game, but all the guys who came in together on the big bus nearly wanted to kill each other before the night was over.
Good times.
