Reinstalling my INNOVV Blind Spot Detection System

[@tomvoncharon6359]

Always great when there are no spare parts and you still have all your tools!😂

[@robertwhitemoto]

Tom, funny you bring that up. Not on camera, when I pulled off the right side middle cowl, I found a pry tool from months ago … 😳😂🤣🙏🏻

[@tomvoncharon6359]

Had to make a u-ture once to pick up my 1/4" drive rachet.. my favorite. Couldn't just leave it. 😆

Wisdom gained from knowledge, born from experience(s). Great that you are happy and now have your blind spot indicators back in-service. Traxxion’s rear mounting plate is clean. All hardware looks great perched there. Creative thinking in the use magnetic tape. Having done those side panels of few times you quickly & carefully dispatched them like a pro! Love the workbench set up too. Jarvis looks fantastic Robert. The sound was impeccable. Nice job again. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Road Glide! You picked up on everything! Thank you for the kind words, the gifts towards my work station, and for goodness sake, always being positive… a skill that has eluded some! See you again soon my friend 🙏🏻

[@roadglide]

@@robertwhitemoto Your work at large are gifts from the gifted & talented. Thank you as well kind sir. God bless you. 🙏🏻

Hey Robert, I have that system, and one side of my wire was crushed. Lewis at Electrical Connection in Knoxville was able to cut and repair my system. 🙏🏽 Great video! Keep up the good work! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@robertwhitemoto]

Stretch, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I have heard great things about Electrical Connections! It's a bit of a drive for me :-) Thank you for the kind words and Ride Safe !!

Good morning, Robert-enjoyed watching this episode of your re-install of the Innovv Blind Spot device. Great job of coming up with the magnet idea to secure and mount. Your new DJI mini mic works really well, and I think your audio quality for this type of video is an improvement! Minus 13 degrees below zero here this morning. Tomorrow, we get a bit of a warmup to 21 degrees!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Mark thank you for watching. Oof -13 that’s definitely stay inside weather. I was pleased with the DJI mic mini. Sound was very good for such a small form factor.

[@GoldRyderOne]

The audio is great, Robert. Of course, coffee is a requirement. 50% of those blindspot issues can be resolved with your throttle...lol. magnetic tape was very creative. Good video, Robert.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Thank you my friend. It’s just another layer of safety. And yes, I know how to twist that throttle 😁🙏🏻

[@vicaguzzi6115]

Reminds me of the old days of riding. Work on them all week just to ride on weekends

[@robertwhitemoto]

Agree Vic! Thank you for watching.

[@cruisemansgarage]

I like the new placement of the indicator lights better. Magnet idea was perfect. I am starting to use more magnets for a variety of things.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Yes I think this is going to work! Now to clean up somehow that birds nest under the seat…

[@bob2u]

I'll be curious to hear your thoughts about the placements of those indicator lights after you ride with them for a little while. It looked to me like they might be a little bit outside the field of vision for a quick glance while looking at the mirror.

[@RobertLupo]

Hey guys how about an update on how you like the system, its pro's and con's, also an update on your airbag vests, do you still wear them? etc

[@ArtD2368]

Hello Robert sounds good thanks again for sharing

[@robertwhitemoto]

Art I agree and I’m happy about that. They do an amazing job for such a small form factor! Thank you for watching!

[@philszeman7685]

Love the photo of your Goldwing.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Thank you! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@tom81773]

Hi Robert, your new mic sounds great! I think that this is a nice safety feature and I am glad that you have it operational again. I have the Innovv RC6 which is a combination blind spot detector and forward and backward camera system sitting on a shelf waiting for warmer weather so that I can install it. I am not looking forward to taking off the middle cowl but I do have Cruiseman's videos to guide me. Ride safely, my friend!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Let me know if you would like help with that… I’ve done it a few times :-) thank you for watching Tom 🙏🏻

[@lovetoflylovetofly3843]

Mic sounds good. Glad you have the blind spot detection system back on.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Thank you Kevin. Another layer of safety, even if it’s not perfect.

[@mikespicer2810]

Thanks for the video Robert. I hope it works well. It’s another sub freezing day here.🥶 Stay warm. 😉

[@robertwhitemoto]

Mike thank you. It’s just another layer of safety. Thank you for watching!

[@goldwingmoments]

Magnetic install.... yes Sir. Robert, I like it. Cool idea and should be a nice solution to your wiring connector location issues. Well thought out, you clever fellow. Two weeks ago I also picked up the dji Mic Mini set. Have not tested them yet but have some ideas about what i want to do. Your audio sounded great. Thanks for sharing the information. Enjoy your day.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Hello Larry! Thank you for watching and I completely agree, the sound quality out of such a small unit is pretty dang good. Thank you for watching!’

[@MeanderingMotoMonk]

Good to see you got that squared away. That's one option I want when I purchase my GW. Of course, if you buy a 25, maybe I could purchase J.A.R.V.I.S! 🙂

[@robertwhitemoto]

I’ve purchased my last bike, but otherwise certainly 😁. Thank you for watching David. 🙏🏻

[@spotdude77]

Sound is great. If i remember correctly, it doesn't detect if YOU are passing a car? According to the Garmin website, their product, it detects whether passing or being passed. It is a more expensive product but that to me is key. There is also a visual representation that can be viewed on a phone or GPS. With my trailer attached, that would be huge.

[@robertwhitemoto]

All good points and has been my criticism of the unit from the start… if you are overtaking, it won’t register that vehicle in the blind spot. Even the Innovv execs recognize the advantage of the Garmin. I’m not sure how viewing on a phone would help those pulling a trailer unless the radar unit is self contained and transmits via Bluetooth or something such that you could mount it wirelessly to the back of the trailer.

[@spotdude77]

If you remember i use my dash cam now viewing though an old phone with no service, when connected to wifi cell service is no longer available (at least on android) I have used that system as a rear view camera (mirror) for directly behind me for about 8 months love it. The Garmin has an app that put up a visual representation of what the radar sees, also if you are using a Garmin GPS. I'll mount the radar transistor up where I have my rear view camera mounted. It will JUST clear the top of my unigo trailer. The big thing is the over talking reception. I commute 84 miles almost every day to help take care of my mom. There are times I have to say be damn the fuel economy and run hard. In the traffic that I am in something like this would be a great safety addition. As always great video. I've been thinking about the dji mini . My problem is every video I've made for some reason I say "um" a lot. I've annoyed even myself 😅. I'm trying to figure out how to not do that.

[@PaulsRides]

Great video! I just received the INNOVV RC6 Third Eye with Dashcam kit. I really like your solution to use magnets to hold the indicator lights in place. I see you have the Traxxion Axxion Camera Mount. I have it as well, and I was just wondering if there is enough clearance with the mirror folded in. Sorry. I couldn't tell in the video. It was tough camera angle. I think I will mount the indicator lights the same way once the weather warms up. I am nervous with it being so cold here that I might crack the panels if I were to remove them now. Plus, I still need to get primary drive bolt recall done too.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Paul I did check that clearance with the mirror folded in and I believe it will clear… then it dawned on me, if I need to fold the mirrors in, I’ll just pull off the indicator lights and let them hang down. I love the action mount 👍🏻. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@DonKruse.Wing-Rider]

Sound is great.. Question could you put the light on the dashboard or just below it instead of the mirror ? On the silver strip or just above the speakers?

[@robertwhitemoto]

Don you could mount it almost anywhere. You just want to make sure it’s visible when riding. Thank you for watching

[@tomvoncharon6359]

Wise...not drilling holes before you KNOW exactly what you want and need. (I know those who have and then kick themselves later)

[@robertwhitemoto]

Tom thank you for watching… yeah that cable tucks up nicely along the base of the trunk. This unit does have its limits and I might be changing it out in the future.

[@kidi8124lunch]

Looks good. Could you put a pull string on the wire from under the seat, if you need to remove the indicator lights then you could pull the wire back under the seat? Well, your idea is better, never mind LOL, and it looks great. I'm looking at the F1 dash cam, how do you disconnect it when changing the rear tire? It is 1 deg. now and going lower, won't be riding anytime soon, I am depressed, LOL Come on spring. Be safe.🏍🛵

[@robertwhitemoto]

Kevin, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Stay warm and thank you for watching!!
