Hello all. I thought I'd say hi before I started posting. I came across this site in search of some information on a particular part number. I currently have a 01 SERG. Of all my bikes this is my favorite. A few add ons make it mine such as Legends Air, RC Components Royale 18" wheels, Pioneer AVIC-N2 Navigation/GPS/DVD/MP3/CD player with rear view camera. I'm considering adding a little more umph to the Geezer Glide. I already have the heads of choice. I've been reading up on my possible cam choices. Well that's it for now.

Nice looking bike, so I know what the DVD is for, the kids for the long trips, But what the hell is the
rear view camera for?

Puzzled,
Welcome to the site. Your bike looks awesome! From your post looks like you're not new to this game of tricking out bikes, but I'm sure you will find some things here that will grab your eye. On that note you better hold on to your wallet many have known to been bitten by the "OCD/SEO" once joining this site.

Thank you all for the welcome and compliments.

In reference to the seat, I agree 100%. I don't care for the passenger section but I truly enjoy the rider section. I'm leary of changing it and loosing my comfort. Since this is my trip bike I HAVE to be comfortable. I'm no Iron Butt by any means but I do make the Pa to Daytona run each year non-stop, 16 hours straight through.

The rear camera...

It serves no purpose. It will never replace the mirrors. It does work nice when riding with a group or in slow traffic.

While in Daytona a few weeks back was the first time I used the navigation. I used it for the map function. I hit some heavy traffic coming over from Orlando and pulled up my location to see how I could get around it all. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

No problem let me go and get them.

I don't have any problems spending the coin. I just finished a project called "Budget Build" and I already started acquiring parts for another build. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]I'm addicted,

Welcome to the site Puzzled [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Nice looking ride you have there. I've had thoughts about installing the same head unit...but it's pretty pricey. How is the screen in daylight?
I see you already have the CVO/OCD sickness! You've joined the right support group!!

Take Care,

I picked the complete assembly up for $1200.00. When I started pricing a new radio with MP3 capabilities along with a navigation system of some sort the total cost was competitive. One of the deciding factors was the MoCo stuff was all add ons and it would be either on my bars or fairing. This was of no interest to me.

As far as the screen goes it is visible during the day. Of course sun glare makes it tough to see. This is where the voice over comes in handy. As I use it more I find more features that make it more enjoyable. One such thing is the screen angle adjustment. Since it's in a RG the screen angle is off to begin with. With the adjustment I'm able to set the screen upright or tilt it forward some to combat the sun.

The only downside to the entire system to me is the clock. Yep the clock. With the screen closed I can not see the clock at all while the sun is out. If it were in a bat wing fairing I feel this wouldn't be an issue. Trivial but annoying nonetheless.

A picture before I learned how to use the screen adjustment. Notice the cars behind me in the screen?

Hey, don't pay any attention to me..........I'm just one more guy here that will help you spend your money. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] I mean, after all, you could end up just like me.....with a garage wall covered with seats. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

As for the long hauls and the solo, I think I've finally found the seat in the Corbin Classic. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] I do have the HD Comfort Stitch for two up riding but it's not comfortable on the long hauls.........surprisingly, that would be the Corbin. Very firm to the touch.......almost hard feeling but very, very comfortable on the distance. At the end of the day, my mind is not on my butt or my tailbone like it is with all the other seats. Can't explain it, but it works.

If you ride two up, here's a seat (it's a 4 second slide show) that Corbin made for me that you may be interested in.....it's called the Dual Tourer with heaters.....

The camera's pretty cool. It would be nice in certain situations. Did you retain hand controls for stereo? What do you use to cover head unit in the event of a rain storm? I'm in the market for a gps & am not too fond of the stock head unit. So I might check into the pioneer unit a little further. With the portable gps it would be nice to take in the vehicle while traveling. So I'll have to weigh out the options.

Thanks for the info [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Welcome to the site. Ya got a beautiful scoot. Just what we need more goodies for our scoots. Sounds like you have turned the wrenches a time or two. We look forward to you joining in on the discussions and sharing some of your ideas with the group.

Biketronics makes a retro fit box that retains most of the hand control functions.

A cover would be nice. However I don't cover it. I rode home in six hours of rain from Virginia up to PA. The face of the unit got some moisture in it but it cleared up within a day or so. No different than my gauges! I did stop at a few marina type shops in search of a removable cover. Everything I found was a permanent mount which I'm not after. I believe I could chuck one of the permanent ones up in the mill and cut it to where it would do what I want it to. For now I'll keep searching for a ready made one.

If they don't make what you need make it or modify it yourself.That is the true wrench mantra.It seems you got that part down.That is what seperates us from the suit and tie bikers.Nice ride and welcome.Later,Q

Bigdaddy "suit and tie bikers" that's like an oxymoron or something right? the politically correct term is "motorcycle enthusiast" or sometimes they like to be called "scooter trash" LOL!!!! [smiley=pumpkin.gif]

Lew, it wasn't Mike that reinvigorated this thread it was me. I was bored and it was probably late. So I grabbed the very oldest/earliest/prettiest introductory thread I could find in this section and responded to it like it was new.
