    Default Lamonster RTW Project- Chrome..GPS...more lights!

    Got a bunch done on the RT today. Got all the chrome on and moved my GPS and got the fender lights installed. I'm really happy with the way this thing turned out. Just waiting on my Corbin seat and it will pretty much be done.

    Lamont, outstanding Setup. Most Rad!
    Would it be too much to ask for the RAM list of parts you used to mount the 665.
    Thanks again for all your help. You Rock!

    I've got to agree with Dan...
    Don't you know by now that these projects are NEVER done?

    I see you decided to go with the LED Front Mud Flap Replacement Kit. You had mentioned in an earlier post that you weren't sure about adding them because of video issues with them. Looks great!

    I'm not sure about hooking them up into the triple play because of the video. I think I'll set them up as turn signals but not brake lights this time.

    How about just putting a switch on the mudflap lights, so you can kill them when you video?

    That is an option I thought about. Last time I just put some black tape over the lights when I was shooting with the BRP road crew. I may just do that though seeing I'm running out of things to do.

    Why not pick up another RS and start improving it then?

    I"m sure it's to early to ask for a true assessment, but how is your 665 working? There had been some concerns about the first models not working well with the SAT Weather or XM.
    Being winter I'm sure you'll need some go summer ryding to get some miles with it.
    Thanks for the answers for the RAM mounts.

    Default Mouting GPS to Dash

    How did you mount the GPS to the dash? I saw the same question but didn't see a reply and that is probably I am not versed in blogging. Did you have to take the dash apart.? I want to do this MOD. I think the only variation I am going to do is add a sun shield that goes from the dash to over the GPS to give better viewing in the sun and to hide the mount as you look from the frunk thru the windscreen. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
