    The Big FJR Tire Poll

    Conti Road Attack 2 GT spooned on a year ago, so far so good, but I haven't been able to put more than 5k on them so far. Started to get a flat spot on the rear at 4k.

    dcarvers new ride

    I had an '86 of this model. I really loved that car, until it stranded me on an Interview trip out of town when the ignition wires under the dash melted together. FJRs aren't the only ones with wiring weaknesses.

    Crescent City or Grants Pass dealers for tire replacement

    you mention going east from there, Medford is only another 20 miles and is a much larger city. motorcycle super store is based out of there, but I am unsure if the local store is even open anymore as it wasn't in the same location last time I was through there.

    Spot 3

    I tested the nonemergency buttons. From activation to receiving text/email was the time mentioned. I had the unit hanging off myself, so if something happens it stays with me . Next test is to have it mounted more label up.

    Spot 3

    I also got mine on Monday. Works pretty well, but I noticed a dead spot between Port Angeles, WA on HW 101 until I reached the other side of crescent lake. This is the first one of these that I have ever owned, so I cant compare. I tried the messages, while a nice feature I was a little...

    Givi E55 with LED lights has failed LEDs

    So after four years, my Givi E55 that got a free bundle of LED lights has had four LEDs on the right side fail. These are stock LEDs and not the admore (sp?) kit. Anyone else ever seen this?

    Russell Day Long first ride

    6'2" with 32" Inseam with no problem touching in the high position with butt on the wings, but just touching, slide off the wings and I am almost flat footed. Full forward and I am flat footed on both sides with some width. I like it this way.

    interesting thing I learned while playing with my tbs sync tool

    at the port, so the hoses wouldn't be a factor.

    interesting thing I learned while playing with my tbs sync tool

    last year I created an electronic tbs vacuum measuring tool. This last week with the nice weather but being totaling sick (I hate colds) I brought out the tool and did some work on the software. One feature I added was RPM, and another was showing the total change in vacuum per cylinder; as...
