Escort install on my Goldwing

Another candidate for Gadgets Anonymous... The Laser Park Pro has heads the size of a match box so with all the nook & crannies on your Wing I'm sure you can find the right location.

I've got the killboy photo as well on my work cube

Does your intercom have any spare inputs left? :wink: I'm sure it's maker will also supply a standard cable for linking to normal headphone sockets - (3.5mm stereo jack) Was it factory or an aftermarket system like Autocomm, etc?

If so, did you know you can now use the cheetah wireless fitting kits to hear laser jammer alerts through your comms system?

It's adjustable volume control means you can balance the alert levels with your other kit. I think it's the only way you can easily get to use blinder alerts in the way you like to on your bike. If you're considering a jammer it's worth checking out.

Al,

The Intercom is standard equipment on the Honda Goldwing. It doesn't come with any additional inputs available, but aftermarket equipment from Kennedy and J&M allow you to add as many interfaces as one may need.

I'll have to read more on the Cheetah to understand it advantages on the Goldwing. Obviously concerns about drilling holes though the "Firewall" are mute for a motorcycle. I've already have an extra switch and relay available that I can hook the Blinder up to for easy on/off operation and my J&M headset integration module has an open input that I could plug the audio of the Blinder into.

Don't think of it as a wireless fitting kit at all - think of it like an Audio Conversion Kit for using jammers on a bike.

With most jammers there is no way of getting the alerts into a comms system. It's never been a consideration because they are obviously primarily designed for cars. The original Piezo buzzers that come with a jammer are the only audio output and they are impossible to hear on a bike and you can't connect them to a comms system.

The warning unit that comes with the Cheetah kit has a standard headphone socket which you can easily connect to a comms system to hear the audible alerts. You then plug the LASERnode transmitter into the jammer's control box instead of the original buzzer, which you no longer need. When the jammer fires the transmitter sends the signal to the warning unit which gives you an audio alert you can easily use on a comms system.

Thanks for the explanation Al :!:

Now I understand the need for the Cheetah module.

I'm not a rider (although I *really* love motorcycles of all types/genres), but man, that's a nice bike! 8)

And definitely, I think your bike has way more gadgets and switchgear than even the "space-shuttle ambiance" interior of my Legacy. And yes, I, too, am a member of the "cram gadgets into your ride" crowd.

Hey Thanks for the comments there Allen :!:

I hear there is a 12 step program for what ails us, but I'm not lookin' to be "cured" :!: :wink:

Just need to add the DVD player and cappuccino machine in the trunk and I think I'll have it all done...

Hey Paul,

Happy New Year!

I, too, am not looking to get "cured" anytime soon! However, I think that I might need an intervention, as I'm currently thinking about rigging up an extra set of gauges for my little baby girl, since she's about to turn forward-facing in her child-seat, for the first time.

I originally thought that I'd "give" her my OBD-II -based vehicle information center, but I keep looking back at it for data when I'm driving, and I know it'll be a while before Anna's going to have the "processor power" to report "vital" data back to her daddy on a reliable basis!
