Top 5 Upgrades on R1150R

[rdsmith3]

Gord,

I use Etymotic er6i isolator in-ear headphones. They block outside noise, like good earphones, and they have good sound quality.

I also use this little volume control from Radio Shack

Oh yeah, the EZ Pass. I forgot about that, if you want to call it an upgrade.

I never stop to pay a toll now. It is great.

Get the external type and mount it to the forks, hidden under the front beak.

I have the system case rails for soft luggage traveling but I have not had those on all summer. I will probably never buy the hard system cases as I cant stand the way they look.

rdsmith3 - I have the SkiFi2 unit with a car kit (which I mounted temporarily in my wife's car for a trip, then removed) and the boombox for the office. I don't really want to buy another unit and pay another monthly fee for a Roady. Have you seen any mounting kits for the SkyFi units? I have seen some cool ones for the Roady but none for the SkyFi2.

I had thought about mounting a clear top Pelican box with a Ram mount and drilling then sealing holes for the wires. I don't care about access to the controls that much. 175 stations and I listen to Deep Tracks 40 90% of the time anyway.
