    Re: Winter is close, and I'm wanting to ride??!??! Hello All :)

    Welcome, I tinker as well, I've got a 2015 S1000RR. I've got a heard jacket, heated seat, phone mount and charger, additional brake light, HID projector retrofit, and some other stuff.

    I run an Escort radar detector suction cupped to my gas tank, and I've got red LED's mounted below the top of the windscreen that activate on alarm. It works decent, however I can't read the detector so I end up slowing down for false alarms a lot.

    I mounted a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones in my helmet, and connect those to my phone via Bluetooth.

    I have a Sena 20S Evo, but I'd like to find a way to use lights inside the helmet (peripheral view) and to pass the radar audio into the Sena headset.
    If I get the SmartCord Live for the 9500ix I may be able to work out a connection from 9500ix-->Phone-->Sena, just not sure if the phone will interrupt bluetooth comm's to give the radar alert, and then I still would need to sort out lights.
    There is a product out there but it seems to have a high rate of failure. http://legalspeeding.com/HARD-System.htm#.WeTZ1ztryUk

    Does your 2015 have heated grips and cruise control? Two options I wish I got on the 12' Maybe I'll do grips but through BMW the retrofit is a little beyond pocket change... just love the idea of OEM fit and finish.

    Here is what I use: I do not use the screamer speakers, just the lights. I'll post up some pics eventually.

    Ya I have heated grips, cruise control, forged rims, LED signals, everything that costs money lol. I had a gray 2013 S1000RR before this, but traded it on on the 15 so that I could get cruise control, launch control, etc. I love the 15, it's setup perfect for me, and I don't see myself upgrading for a while. I'm at 17,600 miles currently, just did my chain and sprockets for the first time.

    So jealous, but I paid $8800 for mine Though for my budget, it is still a squeeze.

    Still need to get the squared off corsa rosso tires off and get something softer like the Q3+'s I had just put on the GSXR befor its untimely demise.
    And the exhaust does not do the bike justice, needs a de-cat and header to go with the factory Akra shortie. SS, as Titanium is outside my pocket book.
