+1 on the Storms. Got mine from SWMoto last Wed. (ordered Mon. and received Wed. in TN). All I can say is they are GREAT! Best tire I have ever run on any of my bikes...ever. Got them mounted Sat. and I balanced them without having to use lots of weight. Scrubbed them in Sat. PM and went to...

Next time you get new glasses look for some that come with the clip-on sunglasses. I got mine at Dr. Bizers with my regular glasses...well actually got 2 sets of sun glasses...one for the bike and one set for the car. They came with their own little case and they are polarized too. Fjrtn

+1 on what tripletango said. Speaker positioning makes a HUGE difference in overall sound quality...irregardless of brand. Fjrtn

Dan: Don't intend to hi-jack your thread :unsure: But, this was the first topic I have run across where Autocom and audio output had been discussed at all. I understand what you are after and it looks like the first example might work for you. And, the price doesn't seem to be exorbitant...

Thanks for the info Bob and Bill. Bob - I have an Autocom...believe it is a Pro 7 model (best model before last years new upgrade)...and would like to know how hard it is to go into the unit and adjust the volume. Are the "internal volume adjusters" easy to locate and adjust? Bill - This...

Dan: Read your post with interest. I to have an Autocom which I run my radar detector, radios (CB or FRS), iPod, cell phone and GPS (Magellan RoadMate 2000T) through. My problem is with my GPS and the level of sound (volume) that I can get to my helmet speakers from the audio out jack of the...

Hey everyone, that's my son on his '05 FJR. We took a nice Sunday afternoon ride, from Morristown and Knoxville, TN, over to the Dragon and back for a Dragon Burger. We went over the Foothills Parkway from Maryville to Hwy. 129. Traffic was the worst I've seen on the Parkway due to all the...

Thanks for all the feedback guys :clapping: . Decisions...decisions...will probably just do whatever the wife says anyway (you know what I mean) ;) . New GPS (Magellan RoadMate 2000T) from James at Auto Nav 2000 should be here Monday. Hope I can figure out how to use it before we leave...

Thanks guys for all the comments so far! Please keep'em coming :clapping: . Yea brazos, I love that area of the country for riding too. By the way, was up in Johnson City yesterday on a little jaunt with one of my Hardley riding buddies. The leaves up higher on I26 towards Ashville were...

First of all, I'm not sure where the appropriate place to post this question is. I'm sure the board patrol will move it to it's proper place if it doesn't belong here ;) . Anyway, a little help from my fellow FJR owners would be appreciated. The scenario is: My wife has lots of vacation...

airboss: Appreciate the info. I ordered my hand "knuckle" guards from Ron Ayers today. I'll do the heat stretch that you recommend...very carefully ;) . Looks like my grip heaters are putting out as much heat as everyone else's. Should be nice and warm with the heaters and hand guard...

04FJR4ME: Thanks for your generous offer! I would be interested in getting a GPS. Guess I'm from the "old school" and never even used a paper map much when traveling. Never worried much about getting lost while on the motorcycle. I'd just tell my wife that we were "Touring". ;) However...

airboss: Read your post with interest since I have been trying to find out if the V-Strom hand guards will work with the Big Bike Parts grip heaters (I have the grip heaters and want to install the hand guards too) since they are longer than the OEM grips. So then, your hand guards obviously...

Thanks for your feedback Radman. Would you have any clue as to whether or not the hand guards would work with the longer than OEM "Big Bike Parts" grip heaters (they are 5 3/4" long according to their website...but I have not measured mine)? Fjrtn

Bump up. :clapping: Also, see FJRFencers post about Big Bike Parts grip heaters over on the "Parts and Accessories" section of the forum. Is there any way to get more heat out of these things???? :yahoo: Fjrtn
