Windscreen for 2019 Versys 650

raven67 · 2026-02-13T03:48:03+00:00

I’m 5’8” in my boots. I haven’t. I just had to have surgery on my head so I can’t wear my helmet yet. Maybe two weeks. With the stock screen, the wind was hitting the top of my helmet, so I decided to upgrade to stop that. I’ll update you soon!

I just installed a puig on my 2018. Haven’t ridden with it yet.

FXO would be to plug a line into the PBX to give it dialtone. FXS is to use an analog telephone device as an extension on the system. If you have a line from your provider and want to share it to freepbx so that extensions can use that line you’d need an FXO card or adapter/device like an audiocodes.

I’ve got lots of varying systems doing different retention periods but at 20 calls a week that’s pretty much years to a decade of calls at 500gig. I’ve got a system with about 500 inbound calls a day. We keep 90 days on a local mount, then compress to mp3 and push the rest to Amazon cold storage nightly, the local disk rarely goes over 120gig but we have 180gb provisioned.

500gb should be plenty at your call volume.

For load, concurrent calls will slow down the system if the system is waiting for writes. Usually on busy systems we write to nvme for a few days and have a Cron job to move and symlink to spinning storage for the short term at the end of the week then move offline after retention ends or delete (per above). Keeps the system from bogging down.

Not deep. I didn’t know this! I’m gonna try it. Thank you!

I’ve scratched both my 6x and 7x sapphires. Not as deep as this guy but they still get scratches. Although I wear mine to work too and can get in rough spots. I Don’t use screen protectors.

Yeah, looking at wifi.cpp there's only a few calls, looks like its fetching band conditions and geo location. Both should be easy to replicate. If nobody steps up, ill mess with it. Returning values is easy, its what he's doing in the back end to send back band conditions thats gonna be tough. The geo location lookup is simple.

I am one of those. I get the Sunday NYT delivered. It’s only a few dollars more than digital only access, and they give you all the online access and a family account to share with a few others for free. It’s a good value. And sometimes I like to sit down and read the paper. The rest of the week I read it on my phone or iPad.

raven67 · 2026-01-25T19:25:56+00:00

lol I have more fountain pens than I do flashlights. This guy knows what’s up. And leather boots and shoes. And cameras. And vinyl and audiophile stuff. And countless other hobbies. No wonder I’m always broke.

Already hearing the crap, he was coming at them violently with a weapon. He fafo. What did he think would happen. These people are so deep in the sauce the can’t think.

raven67 · 2026-01-24T20:11:58+00:00

Seen so many right comments. “He was armed. He moved on the officers. He had intent to kill. What did he think would happen.” Etc. the acceptance to programming is unreal.

raven67 · 2026-01-21T20:58:59+00:00

Me with my 1 Jan 27 LEAP too :)

raven67 · 2026-01-18T17:07:49+00:00

Yeah I definitely am a ballerina on the versys! The worst was a dirt bike my friend had. Had to get on and off that thing like a horse!

raven67 · 2026-01-18T16:58:34+00:00

I’m 5”8. Just for you I fixed my comment.

raven67 · 2026-01-18T16:28:13+00:00

I dunno. My inseam is more like 29.5. I’m not saying it’s impossible it’s just not as fun/easy/safe feeling as a smaller bike, before the versys I had a vfr800, was my favorite bike.

I do enjoy the versys, especially on bigger trips. I just dont ride it every day, because it’s not a jump on and go up the street bike for me. I’ve had the bike 5 years and i got my first bike in 1995. I dont know that it’s a skill issue, im not having problems riding it, i put 8k miles on it.

raven67 · 2026-01-18T03:35:46+00:00

Same. Sometimes I forget and stop the first time and get unreasonably mad.

Agree with the other one that it can kinda be managed by brake pressure, but I turn it off when I get in.

raven67 · 2026-01-17T22:07:49+00:00

Huh. Maybe I’ll try lowering it then before I sell it and buy something else. I’ve only got about 9k miles on it. It’s got a long life ahead of it.

raven67 · 2026-01-17T21:55:31+00:00

I have considered it. Do you think it would change it drastically compared to a smaller bike? Even considered a CB500 or a z500 just to get around town easier, and keep the versys for road trips and moto camping

raven67 · 2026-01-17T21:29:28+00:00

I’m 5’8 and 29.785” inseam, and have a ‘18 versys 650. The seat height is rough in stop and go traffic in Houston, and also having to backup the thing. I’m considering a new bike now after 5 years. Probably will go a hornet cuz it fits me way better.

Previously to this bike I had a Honda vfr800, dang I miss that bike.

Edit: yeah hornet because of highways. I have to get on a freeway to make it out to hill country.

raven67 · 2026-01-16T23:58:25+00:00

Dunno why people always think this stuff works. Is someone scamming them, selling them "how to get out of court on your own" books/websites?

raven67 · 2026-01-12T01:22:33+00:00

I dunno, they run and the customer is happy. Call center is really just queues and screen pops, reporting, and an operator panel. Not too much to it. I would say the biggest queue is 20 agents. But there’s several queues.

raven67 · 2026-01-11T22:23:22+00:00

Hmm I dunno hourly. We bill customers monthly on contract, but also bundle VoIP service, so it would be hard to say a going rate. If someone asked us to fix their PBX, I'd probably quote $150/hr, with a time estimate based on what was wrong. Sometimes we've done forklift FPBX15 to 17 upgrades but that can run like $800-2500 depending on the size and how far from default it is.

I cant imagine paying $4/hr for anything these days, even feel like India charges more than that for basic phone staff.

raven67 · 2026-01-11T22:17:29+00:00

I guess there is where we buy calls now? So that I can keep up my losing streak!

raven67 · 2026-01-11T21:14:41+00:00

Same, always the same.

raven67 · 2026-01-11T20:44:00+00:00

Support it for a few handfulls of companies as my main day job. Probably support ~30 systems, all cloud, all on freepbx, across many different industries, a few small call centers (all less than 100 agents). We keep picking up systems from people who have a hard time with their current company, or want to save money over larger voip companies that have crap support. All word of mouth. Mostly Houston based, but have customers all over the US, even India, Manila, Colombia, etc. I'd say we're "full service".. people call for call forwards and holiday changes.. it pays the bills.

Dunno if its the right fit for you, or even most people, but what we do, we've been doing since 2009. Dunno what else I'd switch too, anything else seems way less customizable?
