Greetings,

I am a new member. I ride a Honda Shadow 650.

Does anyone have any experience with the helmet "Heads Up Display?" I'd loved to try it. I don't know which bikes are compatible.

Thanks

Well it worked pretty good back when I flew Phantoms in the 'Nam... Haven't tried the civvie version yet. I rented an Olds once that had a windshield speedometer, I thought it was distracting plus it didn't have altitude heading or weapons configurations so what's the use?.......

Best just to look at the ol' speed-o-meter once in a while bud...

LONG LIVE THE HUD!

ET,

Forget the HUD. There is WAY too much information for your eyes as it is.

That, and why complicate things unecessarily?

Get a faster bike and pay no mind to the speedo. When you see the flashing lights, gun it...

Most riders have advanced to the SPUD display. Tater Tots, Crispy Crowns, you get the whole enchilada. I mean potato cake.

Potato cakes are pretty durn good there pardner, a good way to use up left over mashed potatos. Fry up some bacon, use the grease to fry some mushrooms and tomatos then make mashed potato patties and fry them up....

It's what them Olympic Athletes have before an event

Especially tasty when smothered in boiled carb rubber gravy!

Soak fully cooked potato patties in warm salt water overnight. Drain water. Discard potato patties.

I actually have it (a well meaning gift from the in-laws). It's not dependent on bike brand but it's also not a great deal of use unless you need instant access to your current speed and spend a lot of time in a position where you can't see the speedo.

 

[vermicious]

Oh, and if you're not careful it creates a terrifying blind spot on one side or the other while turning.

Boy, that makes me want to run out and get one!

Actually, I'm saving my coin to buy an electrically heated codpiece.

Y'know, for those rides when it drops below 60...

I'm still waiting for the seat chiller system. It's getting hotter by the day now...bleah.

Yeah, after the obligatory "thank you but wtf is this" smiles I looked up the pricing on the internet... definitely pass this one over.

 

[seruzawa]

Dang, LR. You beat me to it. It's another one of those idiots from that same company, isn't it?

 

[longride]

Yes it was. Same BS, different day.
