Good news for my bike !
My antennas will stay not long time on my desk.
Previously, the delivery date was April 2007.
Yesterday, my dealer says me that the jester is started since 9th January and will arrive in two weeks. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]
But the problem for a european MAP for A/C and exhausts without flaps is not solved.
I speak with my dealer about the TM with AT and I hope to convince him that it's a good way for his customers (and of course for the maintain of the warranty with him).
News in the next days ......

Best regards
Jacques

Good news, Jacques, congratulations!  [smiley=pepper.gif]

Jacques,
Outstanding!!! [smiley=bigok.gif] That's always the best news when the something is coming earlier than they quote you.  I know you're concerned about the European emission stuff, but that's something you can address after the bike arrives.  The big thing is your baby is almost delivered.

Sure Red, the best is the delivery.
Without bike, no problem concerning the emissions.
The emissions are not the most important, the essential it's to ride with this jewel.
Probably I've more chance when I read the problems concerning the strike...

Now in my head :

Finally got to measure my swr today:

channel  1  1.4 : 1
channel 22 2.4 : 1
channel 40 3.1 :  1

Never use anything above channel 22 whici is what our HOG club uses on rides.  So think this will be OK.  Out of range for channel 40 but I'll never go up that high.

Ultra,
You're good to go.  You're like me so you're not going to use channel 40.  You won't damage the radio at 2.4:1.  Just your power will be down, but if you use it, like I do, only when riding in groups, you will have plenty of juice to cover those situations.  How's your "by-the-ear" reaction to the antennas?  Do you hear a noticeable difference in performance?  You can tune the whips if you desire, but at those readings, I'd probably just leave them alone.  That's better than the stock whips will give you.   Thanks for the report.
Cheers ,
Red

Agree, it is much better than stock.  Haven't ridden it yet, tied up all day Sat, and yesterday being Super Bowl Sunday and temps in the 20s did not riding possible.  Just listening in my garage though, sounds fine.

A final note on this; after the hassle with trying to get these from the very unhelpful Sierra Electronics, I ordered them from J&M themselves.  The people there were a complete contrast to Sierra, and could not have been more helpful.  You may save a couple of bucks by going to Sierra, but I've seen what customer service is like from both them and J&M, and the extra couple of bucks is well spent.  If you have a problem later, you might come to appreciate spending the extra at purchase time!

Jim,
Glad to see you ordered your antennas...will be anxious to hear how they work for you.  I know you've gotten the parts to make the cables, so let us know what kind of results you get.

I will Charlie - though it'll be March before I get the bike outdoors to try it!

Jim,
That's gotta suck, but at least you're in the right place to sit down in front of the fire with a nice single malt and get all toasty inside...that would definitely make me forget about the cold (and a few other things )

AND I get to look at my bike while I'm doing it!  (Well, only in the house is warm enough for my baby....)

Jim,
Here's an idea for you during the winter months...put a wheel chock on the floor in front of your big screen and park the SEUC in it so it faces the TV.  Put on a nice scenic video taken from a helmet cam cruising the back roads of Scotland during the summer.  Consume a couple of nice single malts, get on the SEUC and make "potato, potato" sounds, and it'll almost be like riding.  (Gad, that sounds like something I may have done.  )

ROFL!!!!   

Great idea, Charlie - can get the wife on the back to nag me if the video looks too fast!  Actually it's just about feasible, though not quite - we have a 70" screen, but the bike has to stay as a centrepiece in the hall (BIG hall!!) because it wouldn't get through the door into where the TV is!
