I discovered this morning that my rear brake had gone soft. Stopped at home to check it and my rear caliper is badly damaged. Anyone have access to a rear caliper in the bay area that could loan/sell it to me? I'm in Fremont CA. call me at 510 585-6754 Mark Starrett

Just received my certificate confirming completion of a CA In-state BBG. :) . I did it on July 6, so the cert service is really fast. Great fun, difficult challenge, and a good warmup for the Ten'n'Ten rally this month. Full ride report here Ride report

Hi, I was swapping out a horn for a PIAA horn, and the mounting screw dropped and went AWOL. Looking at the Fiche, it is listed as P/N 92017-06012-00 SCREW(3GG) which isn't helpful. None of the metric screws I have seem to thread. Any ideas?

I'm going to install HID H7 bulbs in my existing Hella FF50 lights. Can someone recommend a reputable online source to order a kit? There dozens of them on eBay, but I'd like to improve my odds :)

I'm planning to add an aux fuel tank to my '05 FJR, and the only reference I find is to drill and add a bulkhead fitting to the tank. I would like to avoid a permanent modification. What other options are there? Sampson offers a no-hole kit with pump, etc. Has anyone used that, and what does...

I replaced the locking cap on my last bike with a simple keyless version, but can't find a listing for one that fits an FJR. Does anyone know of one, or if the FJR cap is the same as the R1 or another Yamaha? Caps are available for many other models. Edit: Researched part numbers on Yamaha site...
