The latest additions to the bike.

Well I have 250 miles on the C50.  It has been so much fun to ride this bike.  I can feel the gears getting smoother during shifting and working our the break-in period.  I still have not had the bike over 60 mph yet.  I added lowers to the front forks to cut down the wind buffering.  They made an immediate difference.  I purchased them here.  They took about 20 minutes to install.  
















The next item that I added was the interphone F5 bluetooth wireless head set to my helmet.  I purchased them from here.  These guys had the best price on the unit.  The set up was very easy.  I called some friends from the road and they did not know I was driving on the bike until I let them in on the secret!  Now we can conference calls on the road!  The very cool thing was the streaming of music to the head set and the turn by turn directions that I can hear from the gps.  
The Bluetooth unit.

I used the tape to mount to the outside of the helmet.  The unit comes with another hard mount as well.

Mounted with the Bluetooth unit.



Wires have been tucked under the padding.
The unit comes with two different mic/head set combinations.  I have a convertible helmet that can change from a full face to 3/4.  This mic will work with 3/4 helmets.
Installing the head set in the helmet was simple.  I used the adhesive tape to mount the unit on the side of the helmet.  Then I ran the wires under the padding keeping them out of the way.  The paring to the iPhone was simple and straight forward.  I highly recommend this head set.  The sound was great and the phone calls were clear.  I have yet to hook up the additional unit to conduct a conference but as soon as I do I will update the blog.
