Anyone use this and have it permanently mounted on the bike? If so, I'd love to see pictures of how you mounted it. jim

I'm planning to add a GIVI E52 top box and am suprised to find that they're all the same price regardless of who is selling them. For those of you that have top boxes, where'd you buy them? jim

I'm looking for a used Gen I oxygen sensor. Please PM me if you have an extra you'd like to get rid of. jim

I just wandered over that way today and found that the lovely 3+ mile stretch that had been lovely, wonderful, smooth black unmarked asphault had, since last weekend, been totally covered by fine gravel. Or course the DOT ran a roller over it once and left on the road whatever didn't get pressed...

With as many Gen I covers as have been replaced over the years, surely there's one that's been removed that has my name on it?

Please bare with me as this is a note in praise of the folks at J&M, specifically one of the owners John Lazzeroni. As several of you know Snow White and I had a 60 mph getoff in CO in June...... we're fine, but tore the living Hell out of $2,000 worth of protective gear (ATGATT). The old bike...

On my Gen I, I managed to break the bracket that is integral to the motor and operates the Leg Shield Stay which in turn operates the windshield. This part is not available from Yamaha without buying the entire motor, which I'd prefer not to do. Does anyone have a motor that stopped working, but...

Looking for any color lids, left and right, off saddlebags that are no longer useful, perhaps due to broken hangers or latch mechanism. I have usable bags, but with rather severly marked up lids. Again any color or year. jim

Snow White and I are considering doing a NZ tour and wondered if anyone on the forum had experience with any of the touring companies there? We'd appreciate any personal information or experiences. At the moment we're only working off of information gathered by doing a Google search. jim

Time for everyone to take a moment and thank the folks that did the heavy lifting to make the EOM the success that it was. Thank You Heidi and Jim!!! jim

Before I call and cancel the room, does anyone need to pick up my confirmation number? I checked with TwoWheelNut and he doesn't have anyone currently on his list. Send me a PM if you need the room. My ticker is giving some problems and I have to go get it fixed. Everyone please ride safe. Jim

The wife, Judith, has been unhappy with my several attempts to have a comfortable backrest along with a workable rack. I finally gave up and contacted a true professional....Garauld. His elegant solution to this problem is shown in the pictures below. We couldn't be happier! Jim

There's been lots of discussion and farkles dealing with illuminating forest rats from a long distance away. I live in an area that has lots of curvy and twisty roads. Occasionally I get caught in the situation where I have to ride some of these after dark. While the FJR headlights are at least...

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me, but thanks to this forum it was only a minor problem, not the big issue it was the first time. The last time I rode was mid-October with Squidward, Jeff Ashe, and his Marine friends. The bike has been garaged and the battery hooked up to a Battery...

I live 100 miles from Boone in Hendersonville, NC. The last 2 nights we've gotten very heavy rain from some thunderstorms. This type of rain always washes gravel and sand onto the remote 2 lane, twisty type, roads. While this was caused by a general front passing thru, I do not know whether or...

I have been diagnosed and have a surgeon lined up to do the operation. Surely someone on the board has had this operation? Comments would be? Thanks, jim

I have a 2003 and bought a 2005 centerstand to replace the original. I knew there were a couple of Mighty Joe Young type springs under there, but hadn't reckoned with not being able to get to the end that loops over the frame. Has anyone replaced their stand and how'd you successfully wrestle...

I'm planning to make a January ride to FL, to escape the cold, and need a hotel recommendation for Key West. Thanks, Jim
