    Update on black bike week in Myrtle Beach

    Read an article this morning where Myrtle Beach Police, in cooperation with other state law enforcement agencies, retrieved 55 STOLEN bikes from attendees of the 2016 Atlantic Beach Bikefest (more commonly known as black bike week). Police would roam parking lots and enter VINs to see if the...

    HVMP Bar end weights for sale

    I have a set of gloss black pounders from HVMP. These bar ends have a couple of places where the thin paint chipped off when the bar ends banged together in a box. I took the pics before I colored the spots with a black sharpie, now it's difficult to see those spots. New these are $84 plus...

    Suspension Control Unit error 44 on 2015 ES

    I probably caused this issue. For the first time, I left my ignition key on yesterday in the garage and the battery ran down last night. So I likely did another stupid thing and charged the battery back up with my Schumacher charger with everything still connected. Once the battery charger...

    Installed HyperLites on my 2015

    I wanted a little better presence on the rear of my FJR in order to be more visible to approaching traffic. There are lots of good solutions out there. I elected to go with HyperLites and their 3-way module. This module provides running lights, a flashing (or non-flashing if you prefer) brake...

    New horns installed

    I installed a Stebel Air horn under the seat and it works great. I didn't want to fool with mounting it in front at the top of the radiator area, nor did I want it in a place where it would get full of water and dirt, nor did I care to fool with separating the compressor and the horn and...

    Vstream vs Stock on '08

    I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a new NC VStream. Bought it from Powersports Superstore and it delivered to my door for $130.01. You never really know how a new windshield might perform, except for reviewing the experiences of many on the forum. After reading many posts, and looking at...

    LED Spinner tail light bulbs solution

    Although less than 5% of impacts happen from behind (based on some studies and books I've read), I still like to be very visible from the rear. I have the reflective tape on the bike's bags, but I wanted to order a couple of the LED spinner-type bulbs to replace the two stock tail light bulbs...

    Impact forces on sliders

    I am about a month away from my FJR purchase. I was talking to a friend with about 2000 miles on his new FJR. I ask if he had installed any frame sliders. He said no, because he was confident that if the bike went down on the sliders, the concentrated force transmitted to the base of the...
