1. A storage solution that doesn't look but *** ugly for times I need it.
2. An Iphone mount that doesn't look like an appendage on my bars.
3. an in helmet Iphone compatible headset with phone and audio capability.
4. LED rear tail light that fits between fender and tire with integrated turn signals

Thats all for now

Do they make one for an 03 Wide Glide? I have already done the side mount license plate with LED's. but that tailight still sticks out there like a sore thumb. I chopped off all the bracket that held the license plate, but would really like a flush mount tail light like that.

Also would like to have a speedo replacement that would make it more flush with the tank and low profile.

I'm sorry but #2... why? Stick it in your pocket and ride. If missing that big call is so important don't ride.

#3...WHY? you wouldn't be any better than those people in cages talking on the phone. Bad bad idea.

One thing I would like about a decent Iphone mount is that my Iphone also has an Ipod and satellite radio. Great for tunes. Goes well with JRK's 300 watt fork stereo. Having it mounted would allow more usability.

I'm gonna say tunes while riding wouldn't be nice sometimes but for the most part the wind, and my bike are enough music for me.

I'm just glad that someone in this forum has enough sense and knowledge to talk all of us out of CUSTOMIZING our bikes! Thank you so much.

Sorry Zwide...I just don't see a reason to have iphone mounts and in -helmet iphone capabilities. Nothing wrong with me voicing that to someone who is suggesting that. A motorcycle is usually a way to leave the technology behind and just ride. Why do we need all that tech stuff anyway? We really don't. Like I mentioned in another thread a few weeks back, our forefathers crossed the world and this country without gps. Why do we need it so badly? Why can't you just carry a map and who knows, reference it once in a while. Isn't part of the ride the fun of maybe getting lost and finding a really cool place off the beaten path? It's happened to me more than I can remember and I love it every time.

Especially the iphone deal when just a few threads away there was someone talking about the cager who cut him off while talking on a cellphone.

If missing that big call is all that important, stay home and don't ride.

Sorry SC no harm intended. More messing with you than anything. We each have our own opinions on how to get from A to B but, I actually agree about the maps and no cell phone on the bike. At 28, I've always had the technology on hand, and I use a GPS in my truck to tell me how long i'm going to have to keep driving. But I always use a map to plot my trip/miles/stops etc before I leave and then force the GPS to take the route I want instead of their "fastest" or "shortest route".
I actually try to leave technology behind in many aspects of my life. For example, I bought a straight razor with some of my Birthday cash this year. One of the coolest investments I think I've ever made.
Again, no offense meant with my last post.

Same here man. Sometimes I think people need to be reminded why they ride. All you need is you, a full tank of gas, and no place in particular to be.
