Light switches?  You can get light switches now?  What am I going to do with all those kerosene lamps?  I sure missed that memo.

It will jam the KIPASS system all day long if the RADAR detector is turned off.
Once the RADAR detector is off, the HARD system thinks that there is active RADAR coming off of the detector.
It then transmits to the headset.
The transmission signal to the headset will jam KIPASS.
Not to mention Garage door openers, Chevy's, Fords, and every make of Car key fob withing 100 feet...

I appologize for confusing some with high tech electronics talk...
I forgot that most C14 owner were around before the light switch was invented and you still have problems grasping that concept.

Hmmm... interesting, I have that exact same H.A.R.D. setup on my Connie and have never had it interfere with the bike starting.

  sorry

I use this one:

$59 and no need to move it from helmet to helmet. Works fantastic. I find with it mounted just above the speedo it reflects off the windshield and acts as a heads up display even in the brightest sunlight.

Your HARD system has to have power while the bike is off and the RADAR detector(Passport) must be turned off.

That's fairly technical and confusing high tech electronics talk Mike, can you simplify it for us who are having trouble grasping the concept?

Do you mean power to the HARD box mounted on the helmet with the bike shut off??
 
 

 

 
 
 
Or do you mean power to the HARD box mounted/connected to the actual radar detector with the bike shut off??

I understand...
In the up position the lights should be ON. In the down position the lights will be OFF.
Next week we will discuss dimmer switch opperation and how the knob rotates.


The transmitter must have power. The RADAR detector needs to be off or unplugged.
The headset would be off, unless you like dead batteries.

Hmmm... well my transmitter (mounted to the radar detector) is powered on by the radar detector, and my radar detector is plugged into a switch that only has power when the bike is on, so I guess I can't have that issue...
 
You had me worried for a bit, I feel better now.

I sure hope that it's not one of them newfangled dimmer switches that you have to press in to turn on, those things really mess with my head.

Right...
But you also can't have fun screwing with cage drivers while you are having lunch.
Our group of riders has several HARD systems among the group.
They can wreak havoc in a parking lot with the average driver not knowing that a car key can open a door.
