    Techmount Stem Mount & Garmin Zumo >>>>> Pics Anyone?

    You do relize that tech mount sells a plate for the stem mount and all you have to do is bolt it together and if you buy the 665 with the antenna they also sell a mount for that. You will need to drill 2 new holes for the mounting but in about 30 min the whole thing is assembled and after you...

    thin bike cover - does one exist?

    I have a DOWCO and the best part about it is that they replaced it after it got a whole in it for free. They are a great company to work with. I stuff it in a little bag.

    Canadian extended YPP warranty - worth it?

The only other thing I paid for was a new ignition key switch. Mine failed and was not part of the recall. Should have been. The...

    Wrecked 2003 FJR on eBay - Should I buy?

    If I lived closer I would buy it and use the parts. I am getting ready to rebuild my motor and transmission at 100K. Mostly transmission. I could use the parts from it. The plastic is a bitch to fix and make it look right. I am in agreement if you have nothing better to do buy it. If you want to...

    Changed Battery...Still have startup hesitation

    It may not be your battery. It could also be the starter. When the brushes n the starter start to ware they require more AMPs to turn the motor. Mine would go dead then turn over. I rebuilt the starter and has been fine ever since. The windshield thing needs to be looker at. Take the front...

    Changed Battery...Still have startup hesitation

    How many miles on the bike? Ok I have also had similar issues over the years with my 03. Does this happen all the time or only when the bike is hot? Does the windshield not move at all or only does not retract when you turn it off. By the way where do you live just to get an idea of time zone...

    Front End Dipping when applying front brake

    One of the things to look for is a book put out by Race tech. They explain in almost boring detail how your suspension works. You can order it on line. If you are interested PM me I will get you all the info from my book depository in the garage.

    Bike cover

    If I was going to store mine in the weather I would use a DOWCO cover. The good one. If you need to borrow one let me know we can meet to transfer it.
