The headsup display looks pretty nice, but the for size of the sensor clip that goes onto the helmet is something I'd have to see.

yeah thats great, but it`s only a matter of time before the police get access to the info recorded and used by the wireless info transfer. Then all of sudden that 68 in a 60 limit gets you stuffed good.

Nice... that's the heads up I posted about months ago. I love the video that shows the Gold Wings airbag... look at the neck of the dummy as it hits the car. It stretches about 2 feet. And did you notice the bike the girl is riding in the test? It's an old Ninja... 90-91 model. You'd think they could find a newer bike for the video. (I know the bike because I have one in storage).

That heads up was originally designed for wireless radar detection alert. I almost got one when I installed the 8500 with jammers on my bike, but it's only rated to about 130-140 mph and after that it could fly off, Not to mention I'm sure something smaller will be out someday. For now I just use a plug in with ear piece. It works ok
