I'm currently running the Scala G9 from Cardo. Works great when I'm riding alone (most of the time), but the intercom's always been hit or miss with my pillion, software updates are practically non-existent, and there are a few features offered by most Sena products that I wish Cardo would get...

I keep having close calls with a variety of local birds. Ringneck doves and cactus wren mostly. They like to cross the freeways around here just above car roofs. They tend to misjudge my size and speed forcing me to duck one way or the other to not get hit. Given that cagers seem to behave...

Blue and black both shown in the article? Yeah... I'm gonna be broke again sooner than I'd planned :D

My fault. I only went as far back as '10 to compare the microfiche. Excellent catch, Rich! And sorry to any of you who took my word as truth. I've been here long enough you should know better! :P

It's all down to their business model. Those parts web sites don't actually stock anything. They relay the order onto their source who ships what they have when they have it. Brilliant way to keep costs down, but a real pain for those of us who are waiting on all our parts to do a job.

Wish I had the money. Would be nice to get all 4 of our helmets on the same gear. I assume the usual mounting bits, including mics are included? What condition are the speakers in? (I've had more than a few blown by younger passengers who can't seem to live with hearing music that isn't...

I'd be willing to bet that a local shop would be willing to shave some of the padding out of the front of the seat to make it thinner. Most of the reach I lose seems to be from my legs being forced out a bit more than is comfortable at a stop. The other day I sat on the FJ09 which has a seat...

I'm sure the bulk of the paint costs is in taking off the plastics and tank. If you've the inclination to pull them yourself, I'd imagine you'll be able to knock a grand or 2 off the price. Going a solid color makes it easy for them, just a little bit of masking for badges and such. If you're...

I'm pretty sure the thicknesses are the same, but I know at least 2 of the plates have a smaller larger inner diameter where they go onto the new clutch boss. I wouldn't be surprised to find that most of them are just different enough that I wouldn't want to risk it. Considering it would only...

Let us know how it works out, if only for curiosity's sake :)

Main parts to look at are on the clutch page, specifically the basket and the push rod assembly. A quick check shows the same parts for Gen II, but different pushrods for the Gen I. I won't guarantee it, but I'd say you'd have no trouble on the Gen II.

I'm in Phoenix myself and have a 24 miles commute each way, all but a mile of it at 80 in the carpool lane. Luckily, I'm on second shift, noonish to 8ish, and don't have any worries about rush hour traffic. I also love the heat and ride year round. Leather jacket in the winter with goretex...

Now that the "I give..." thread has been updated, maybe now you'll get a better google search result. That's how I found the PDF I linked in the first place. Very well done :)

https://spotidoc.com/doc/919483/fjr-fairing-removal I haven't done it yet, but this is fairly comprehensive with photos and I've got it bookmarked for when I do decide to dig around in there.

It will actually log those? On mine, I will often just put the kickstand down when I come to a stop where I'm parking and let it kill the engine.
