well that was one hell of a trip lol sorry no pictures had to trade my camera for beer and surf wax.

actually the plan was to just rent one and hoof it to the beech but after seeing some of these ideas hmmmmmmmmmmmm haha

So after joining the coast guard a year ago and being relocated from ohio to the oregon coast i've been loving riding along the 101 in the pacific northwest and surfing as much i possibly can. I recently got orders to Bahrain for a one year tour. So before i go i figure now is a better time...

Hay gunrunner i like the way your gps mounted where did you get those mounts? i dont have a screen but i could just put a plastic bag over it also fyi im running stock bars i couldn't tell if yours were stock or not

So I would like to get a GPS that is motorcycle friendly. I dont know much about motorcycle specific GPS's but I have used them before in cars and I really want that conveince on my max. Does anyone on here have a GPS mounted on there max ? How does the charger work? is it water proof?

Could you explain your reasoning behind the chain being more efficent because the fact that the belt is lighter is a compeling argument.

Soooooooooo to kind of sum up everything we all relatively agree that belts are the most efficient but not much more than a chain which is much more durable.

I know all them motorcyle belts have teeth on them but when its all said and done it is still made of rubber so couldnt it still slip and will stretch when power is applyed which would = efficency loss correct?

Very helpfull the max is my first shaft drive bike and i think i found it's biggest advantage haha quiker rear tire removal.

I read in previous post that belt drives are the most efficient form of a final drive. I was a little confused by this. I have been told by many motorcycle mechanics that a chain is the MOST efficient. They explained that a belt can and will slip as well with a chain every degree the front...
