I'm thinking about adding this in my hog.......

You have become significantly gayer since the four stroke purchase......

It happens.....

1. I want to know total mileage and speed for the bike.... not just a trip meter

2. I dont want to ride around like a doosh with my blinkers on

3. Looks oem (Its from a XR650L)

You need to go worry about your flat tires and failed wheel bearings...

I've been running this on the CR500 for a while now:

Works quite well. I can actually see at what speed I leave my buddies behind at.

Are you going to have that cable going down to your front wheel aswell?

I already do, for the trip meter.

they make a nice holder for the trail tec that has turn signal indcaters on it for street use rpm and motor temp on the vapor also

I like OEM

This is what I ran back when..............
now I dont have turns , brake, running, or low bean, horn or any of that other crap.

I just run a 200w stator & a Baja 125w 8" light but thats just me.
and this is my trail bike

I plan on raising heck around town on mine. I keep seeing this dude on a KaTooM that needs a ass whoopin'.

Well then you better plan on putting some coin into that stock bike. a stock 650r sucks ass, that KTM will eat your bike up

Its a lttle one.... Like a SXC400

Then your fine

What you will need is a Garmin 60 CSX. I use one on my 650L and my CR500. It will tell you your
current speed,
average speed
time stopped
fastest speed
moving time
E.T.A
elevation
temperature
tun by turn directions

It also marks a bread crumb trail as you ride that is stored in your GPS. so you can track back. or save on your computer.

But what I like about it most is that when I want to ride Some where I have never been, I can google search for GPS. tracks in the area. Download the tracks and go ride. I don't have to follow anyone, I can ride as fast or as slow as I want, just follow the line.



Here is some links to a GPS threads wiht some info.

Ironically (to me) I am currently searching for a viable way to adapt my Garmin Nuvi for my CR500. I see the bicycle handlebar mounts are available. but IDK if I trust it.

I agree with Hammer, just pony up for a GPS unit and a RAM mount. This will fit all of your needs. Get a good GPS and you can lead the rides or a crappy one will fill your trip/speed/dist info. Let me know if you need some suggestions.

Something I forgot mention is to get a hard wire kit for your GPS.
The batteries vibrate and don't always get a good connection, and by using the back light during the day you can see the screen much better.

I use the Ram mount with a Zip Tie, to secure the GPS. It is also a good idea to use a screen saver. I broke and bent a few things on my bike in this crash,(first time on the trail, I missed a turn, and went over the bars.) but my GPS. survived.

Not to mention he needs to hit the moto track once a week for about a year. That ought to shed the gay image. Only then will he be ready.

Course my asshole has an Opinion. What is learned out on the track can translate to a life saved out on the road.
