Title: Considering pimping my '95 K11LT a little (got the fever)
Post by: ICBMW on May 21, 2015, 02:25:38 PM
I got my bike serviced and asked Khanh from EUBMW to replace my "saggy" rear spring with a progressive shock. Turns out, it was broken. Thank God, I thought the squirreliness was due to tires.

Anyway, now that I am sure-footed again and back in love, I have been admiring the tricked-out bikes I see, but I want your help.  I would like a long-distance set up, including mounts for phones, GPS, charging, suggestions for Bluetooth solution for a helmet (can I take calls at speed?), and suggestions for running lights/fog lamps, any other sort of upgrade or farkle that would aim towards comfort and function above any semblance of form.

The bike's sort of a beater, but I want the internals to be as nice as possible and I want to make my long trips as delightful as possible.

Or, should I just leave it be.

I don't know how much money I would spend on fixing up the body as I love the idea of having an awesome, optimized, performance bike wrapped up in a Derelict body, like they've been doing at ICON.

Anyway, any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good boots.  I have a Cardo bluetooth setup.  Works very nice.  I run it two ways: the in helmet speakers and ear plugs or in-ear headphones.   The in-ear headphones have to plugged into the helmet.  Music source is the phone (Pandora or files on the SD card).  Receiving calls is fine, just press a button.  Making calls would require I have the phone mounted to the bike in so way that would allow me to use it without running into something.  No problem hearing and being heard on the phone
