I received a 10% off coupon via email to MotorcycleGear.com (used to be NewEnough.com). It's good until 4/12 so if you cant spend any more money until after the quarter point you are still good! :) If you are interested PM me with your email address and I'll email it to the 1st person who...

I get on avg 11k out of the PR2's but replace them early because this is my foul weather bike. I had 13k on the C14 PR2's before I flatted and it could have gone 15k I am somewhat concerned by the PR3 wear so far on the FJR. 2k miles and they are starting to noticeably square off. I usually...

That is some interesting stuff there and good reading! Thanks! This reminds me of an episode of Deadliest Warrior :) Having an '05 FJR and an '08 C14 I'd have to say it really comes down to the rider. My .02 on twisties involving 100% stock bikes? If you took the same average rider and...

Thanks Tom, Looks pretty much like mine. I still have that rubber blanket. Looks like it has a 'neck' area that tucks in under the front steering head bearings. I just don't recall that being on top of the coolant pipes/thermostat with the wires on top but then again my memory isn't worth a...

Bike in Neutral Hold it WOT and crank the bike over. Give it ~2, maybe 3 seconds until it starts release throttle

So I was installing my new plugs and noticed my coolant tubes leaked a bit. No biggie, I'll get some more o-rings and reseat them. I am concerned by the amount of loose exposed wires coming in direct contact with the thermostat area that gets extremely hot when the engine is running. I was...

I Like the idea of attaching it to the roof of the compartment of the glove box. Unfortunately, the '08 C14 doesn't come with a lockable glove box so I am going to have to explore the remote button method. I tried putting together a business case for the wifey on why I needed to upgrade to the...

Just broke 60k on my '05, purchased in late '06. Would have more but I have added 15k to my C14 and 27k to my shadow in that same time period so technically I have passed the 100k mark! :)

Darnit! Another project to do this week while I am on vacation. I have been storing my opener in the glove box for years but always wanted to have a cleaner solution. Thanks!

Props to Sena for backing up their warranty! Sent in the bad one and they are shipping me a new one to arrive next week!

I upgraded the FW in my 6 month old units. A week later one went DOA...wont even power up so it's off for warranty work right now. Not saying it was the FW update, just sh** bad luck. I think some water got in it during one of my commutes and fried the board or shorted out the battery. If...

Uh, one of my employees makes a living on the side buying salvaged HD's (and a few BMW's although they are no where near as profitable so his ratio is 15-1 HD to BMW) and reselling them after fixing what was needed and adding custom paint, blah, blah, blah. He actually makes some decent money...

Thanks for the info! I'd like to think that I have it fixed as I have not been able to replicate the issue in over 2hrs of testing. I had continuity along the entire line, from the switch to the tail lights. I wiggled the lines while testing and didnt notice anything there either. No crud...

My condolences to his family and friends.....he sounded like a wonderful person to get to know!

No mods whatsoever. Looking at the electrical diagrams I noticed the yellow/green runs into the large harness and eventually splices below the ECU (wrapped in tons of protective tape). The yellow then run to the rear lights, just as you mentioned. There is continuity along that path. To...
