I got about a half a days work in on the RT today. I installed the Kewlmetal run,turn,brake light today and cleaned up some more wiring and mounted my ram mount in the middle of the bars. I need to get some shorter screws but I just about have the front where I like it now. I can use my cup holder on long trips or mount my iphone in the same location for checking radar on the road.

Kewlmetal & ESI HMT Brake Light

Really like the looks of that light, but I've already installed the ESI HMT brake light, could a person install both without overloading the electrical system?

Nice work. EXACTLY my thinking on the iPhone. I'll try to get some cloeups of the quick change mount I used and put them with my other mods.

From the angle of the pic, it looks like your RAM cup mount is plugged in! Heated ?!
I admire you guys that do the long haul trips!

On a related subject.... has anyone had any success with an iPhone RAM mount that will work with the hard cover installed over the phone? I have a 3G with a hard cover and thought that maybe the RAM mount meant for the 2G iPhone might work since it was a little thicker to begin with. Thoughts?? :chat:

Very nice! :thumbup: I never thought about using the iPhone while on the run for radar although I'll check it at gas stops. :2thumbs:

I do the same thing and I'm not sure how it's going to work as far using it going down the road but I'm going to give it a try. I mounted the ram mount to the stock BRP GPS mount so it looks really nice on there. :doorag:

Phil would be the guy to ask about that.

The cup holder is not heated, what you're seeing is the cord I use to connect my earbuds.

I think Deb (dtang) has a Aquabox for her phone.

I use a mount for my I-Phone that is a universal. Purchased it at Wally World. Had to modify the back of it so I could mount the holder on my bars.
I have a "Case Mate" cover and holster on my I-Phone

I have my EVO mounted on my bars that I use for listening to Pandora. At the same time I have Weatherbug map up on the screen so I can track any activity in the area I am riding in. Works great. :2thumbs:

Got my iphone mount on now.

Not a great pic but I like the location.

This is the Navigon GPS app.

I pretty well doubt you'll overload it. LEDs are REALLY low drain. There IS a limit to what the bike can handle (someone on the forum did some math on that point) but with LEDs, that's a lot of physical fixtures. NOT the case with halogen or even HID lights.
