For those of you using the new 20s, can you offer any guidance on the correct sequence for pairing multiple devices? Does the sequencing even matter? I'll need to pair to GPS, iPhone and second headset for intercom. Mogan

Greeting all, At the suggestion of a prior post, I've diagnosed that the likely culprit of a broken cruise control is a failed servo. And, thanks again to this board I found Murphs kits and secured a replacement servo. I'm in the middle of the install and am now recalling the many steps I did...

Greetings fellow farklers... I have a 2005 that I heavily customized shortly after getting my new machine. It's been updated a couple of times, but I fear some of my electronics are getting long in the tooth. I'm wondering if I can simplify wiring and setup by using a tablet-based cockpit for...

I have an '05 with 26k on it and its ready for fresh kit front and rear. I'd go for a GP suspension setup but I'm too lazy to go to Portland for the install. Anyone have experience with suspension work at Desert Valley Powersports in Prosser? What are the recommended top shelf components? Mogan

Spring is my favorite time of the year... EXCEPT for working on all the farkle bugs that took root over the winter. The most onerous of the glitches is my audiovox cruise. It's been working flawlessly on my '05 FJR for more than two years. The keypad has power (it's lit up) but nothing works. I...

After pondering and searching for my next bike for more than a year, I finally took the plunge. I wanted a naked to complement what was already in the stable and to recognize the reality that riding sportbikes is increasingly difficult in a 40 something body. I had an order on a Brutale 1078RR...

I'm not sure if this post belongs here, but I'm becoming more safety conscious and am looking for the very best body armor out there. Recommendations?

Is anyone aware of an available rider backrest for an '05 other than the day long seat? I believe that one comes only as one piece front seat and back and I need a two piece seat design that will accomodate a rider backrest.

Greetings all- I've had an order on a Brutale 1078 for about 6 months and only G_D knows when the pup may arrive. So, I'm rethinking my decision given the passage of time. If I'm looking for the ultimate naked bike where handling, power and good ergos for an inseam challenged rider are...

I put a set of the PHIDs on my steed two years ago and love them. But on my trip through Nova Scotia one of them got slammed by a stray stone. The glass lens is broken but the lamp is fine. Any ideas on where I can source a replacement lens? Thanks in advance!!!

Here are my three steeds for now. Beemer is sold :-( Not sure what the next one will be!

I just sold my Garmin 2730 with my beemer and will need to replace it for use on the FJR. I had no complaints about the 2730 and got heavy use out of the satellite radio and MP3 player. My only real beef was the memory limitation for MP3s and the fact you had to move through multiple screens to...

I did a trip from NJ to Savannah last week to visit some friends. On the return I was cruising on 95 at about 95 mph through the Carolinas when I was passed by another two wheeled vehicle. It wasn't a cop. Not a motorcycle. Not a jet with gear down. IT WAS A FRIGGIN SCOOTER! The guy was from...

Can anyone compare these two? It's just about time for me to update my lids and am considering these two...

Which is your pick and why?

I just got done replacing my front pads. I had to bleed a bit of fluid out of each side given that the new pads were thicker than the old. I topped up the fluid resevoir (maybe too much?) and proceeded to seat/run-in the new pads. The brakes work fine, but they're definitely spongy and have...

What role do the shims play? I changed the front tire today and did the front brake pads while everything was torn apart. I noticed that I had shims on one side and not the other (not my first pad replacement--the last one was at Sunnyside). Is it okay to run without shims? I've apparently done...

I'm in the middle of my first tire change. Ugggh. Got the front done and now I'm ready to balance using the Marc Parns kit. I have Galpher rotors on the babe and there appears to be a rubber gasket or cushion at the hub of the rotor carrier. I don't know if this is stock or not. Either way, the...
