I have a Shoe Neotec 2 and the wind noise over 50mph is annoying, I would def like something with noise cancellation. As for screen display, seems like it would be distracting.

Useless if you ride with the screen up.

On speed cameras I already get an audio alert, my Gen 2 Valentine detector sends an alert via Bluetooth signal to my phone and thus overrides the comm and music function on my Cardo unit...a red light also blinks on the unit but it's  hard to see on a sunny day.
I thought it would be kinda annoying with false alarms but thankfully they are few.

There seems to be a lot of crap displayed to inhibit your view.
Active noise canceling but would it be too much ?
We have a lot of mobile speed camera cars that park in dubious places, a warning system in the helmets would be appreciated   :good:

I could see this for a navigation aid and not much more....
My Cardo Pack Talk Edge has all the features I need... however sometimes the turn by turn audio navigation can get washed out.
The HUD would be safer than looking down at my iPhone.

The advancements I'm looking forward to is the active noise cancellation on my headset.
That should help a lot.

I tend to run Morris Oils Versimax HD3 mineral oil, 20w-50. It's sold as an oil for diesel engines, but has been recommended and used by the FJOC here for over 3 decades (it was previously called Ringfree).

My experience of synthetic oil in my first FJ was not good. I used motorcycle specific Silkolene 10w-40 fully synthetic oil and within 50 miles my clutch started to slip under acceleration.

Fixing the oil and going back to 20w-50 mineral oil didn't help. I had to put in new clutch plates.

Ever since then resisted the temptation to go for "better" synthetic oil.

My current FJ has never had anything but mineral oil (Morris, or Yamalube 20w-50) in it and at 107,000 miles has never had any issues with clutch slip, or anything sense related to oil.

I'll just stick with what I know works.
