So, I've been debating on broaching this one on here. I installed a viberider in the Pillion seat on my C5 Mil. Thanks to a thread on installing an aftermarket tach I figured out where the coil was, and made installation a breeze. I took it out to a field party this weekend. Best $130 I've ever spent.

of the install? not much to see, it's pretty much stealth. The party was this past weekend, so I don't have any pics, such as I could show on here. the bite marks have faded from my shoulders so...

When my girlfriend at the time would ride pillion on my Bandit 1200, anytime I would down shift around 3000 rpm I could hear her start giggling behind me.  She loved riding on that bike.

Still trying to get a copy of the pics.  I've ridden harley's before and this is way way stronger than that. As an amusing note, the thing connects to the coil for a controller, which means the higher the revs the stronger the pulse coming from the seat. That being stated, at highway speeds apparently the vibration coming from the motorcycle almost matches the seat. So given the feedback I've been provided with, the best way to deploy this thing is at low speed. The most fun that a person can have at 5 Mph.

Okay, so I've been politely asked not to post the pictures in their original form for the world to see, although I am using one sans face for my avatar now.

So I have one issue that I've realized. At highway speeds apparently the business part of this thing runs so hard that it heats up to the point of discomfort in about 10 minutes. Not so cool, but liveable because of the previously mentioned low speed power curve.

For a funny experience.... I attached the on off switch to the side of the battery cover, which is within reach of both passengers. I had told a buddy and his wife about the thing, and when she asked for a ride on the bike I promised that I wouldn't touch the switch. About 2 minutes into the ride I feel her reach down for it. All I could do was giggle and keep driving. I'm pretty sure he's ordering one for his bike as we speak.

I really need to figure out how to put a camera on the back of my helmet so I can get the reaction faces these ladies are making.
