Sorry, no pics. I can't find my camera.

I have a Sansa Clip mp3 player that I like to carry on the bike. Its very dangerous to use and every time I listen to Kenny Rogers on the bike several million people die. But I'm already burining iraqi oil so whatever. I download unknown music all the time and need to be able to see the screen when something good comes along. So instead of carrying it in my pocket I made a small mount for it out of an old bracket and it now sits atop the clutch reservoir. I know I'm going to hell for listening to music on the bike and i'm pretty sure its ok because I sealed my fate a long time ago when I spoke poorly of HD while riding one.

The second thing I did will be of some interest to you all. I covered the air filter with two layers of mosquito net. This acts as a pre filter and helps keep dead bodies and rocks out of the filter-folds. Filters usually last considerably longer if they're not capturing large particles.

Ummmmm, good for you, I guess?

if you think you're the first person to listen to headphones while riding, well you're wrong.

He didn't get the memo that older Goldwings came with tape decks ; )

As for the filter, I haven't found anything other that leaves in the airbox, I don't think rocks are an issue.

I get a few little tiny nibbets of rock and sand in the air box... nothing that 3 seconds of 90 PSI won't clean out.

Clutch - dude - that was one funny post! I like your sense of humour. Keep it up.
Too much seriousness makes for a boring forum.
