Use on Motorcycle: Recommendations?

George, check out Garmin.com for details on waterproof capability. Garmin claims the Nuvi is not waterproof. The Zumo, being built for motorcycles, is waterproof; there are different levels of "waterproofness", and there is a scale/code used to describe the different levels. Garmin's Zumos meet this spec: "Units that are waterproof meet the IPX7 standards, which means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The depth of one meter refers to the pressure at this depth. If you fall into water with your GPS unit with force, your unit may hit the water at a pressure equivalent to a pressure found at depths lower than one meter. This could cause water damage." Have fun!

If the Ninja does not use a cartridge filter then this won't work. Use a good quality motorcycle oil. Using the wrong oil can make the clutch slip.

I installed this on my motorcycle, Altho the kit says its not for a motorcycle as it could melt the throttle, Ive only used it on LOW and have had no issues and LOW gets pretty hot. Works good.

There is a GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount that might be better. We used that one on a motorcycle ride and it worked great and it wasn't behind a windscreen.

The mount is for a mask strap the you use to go under water with. I would not recomend mounting to a motorcycle. The vibrations would cause funny distortion in the video. I would use a head strap or something like that to mount it on. Although I do not ride motorcyles nor have I ever ridden a goldwing. Good luck.

I use my bike pump to inflate my pickup tires so it should work fine for motorcycles. It's a bit of a workout but in a pinch it's better than driving around with flat tires.

I specifically use them on motorcycles. I wrap them around the handlebar and then hook my tie downs into the soft straps. It prevents damage to the handlebars and makes for quick and easy connect and disconnect. Hope this helps.

You're better off using a portable powered inflator with a gauge for your motorcycle. I have one of these:http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/compact-air-compressor-with-lightit's got a built in LED on it too, i've used this thing countless times on my bike. If I ride with people I encourage them to check their pressure and adjust prior to us taking off. This thing is great, just attaches to the SAE adaptor affixed to your battery.

I saw recommendations for the suction cup mount but be very careful where you put it on the bike and make sure to tether it to either yourself or the bike somehow. I lost a brand new hero2 on my first ride out using the suction cup mount so I don't trust it on a motorcycle, but I've seen it on others. Your call. But like I said, tether system is HIGHLY recommended.

Sorry, used on a bush hog, in a dusty horse arena, and in windy places. You'd be much safer going to the motorcycle shop.

If you're talking about just a regular bicycle, yeah. But I couldn't say whether or not they would stay on nicely on while riding a motorcycle. But I can say they stay on pretty well when I drive 'enthoustically.'

You should be using motorcycle specific motor oil, and Mobil and Castrol, Kendall etc. provide specific types for specific models . As you have identified most motorcycles have combined engine and transmission plus a wet clutch, so you should not use auto oils. Try Mobil motorcycle oils and you can choose your weight and whether you want for a V twin or high performance bike etc.

As of right now I'm using the stock radio and it works well. I do have a nice Sony I've been thinking about mounting and if you look around you can find an adapter so you can still control the radio from the handlebar. I would suggest also getting the small tweeters from Hogtunes that mount around the Road Glide gauges.

My KTM EXCR 450 worked great. I drove over 1200 miles and no issues at all.

I use it on my motorcycle a harley electra glide and it's perfect. The electra is a bit notorious for having hard to reach stems and this makes it easy. The bleeder is nice too. This was a great purchase for my bike.

In short, yes. I paired mine with Tokiko Blues and the setup/ride height was great. There was still the stiff bounce of a sleeve setup. Not too bad on the highway, but the back roads could be harsh. I switched to F&F; coilovers after a few months.

I have only ridden a mountain bike with this. I read another review where they suggested they used it with a motor bike. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
