    Heli Riser Bridge first impressions

    So, apart from (finally) changing out my brake fluids and doing another oil change, I also installed my Heli Riser Bridge! Technically, I did it last week, but due to aforementioned service items, I decided to keep it in the garage until everything got done. Heli Riser Bridge - on a 2009 FJR...

    Motorcycle Tech Schools in the VA area?

    I realize that there are dozens of threads on this, and after reading for 2 hours, I wasnt able to find my question answered. For those of you who have been bitten, was the failure because you had tapped into the factory harness? Or, do the spiders fail even without added farkles? I have an 09...

    Carrying capacity

    As some of you know, I'm planning my big Cross US country trip this June and I was looking over rack, backrest, and tail bags, and their weight. In all, I may be exceeding the manual's weight carrying capacity by 5 to 8lbs. I'm not too worried about it, as I can always take some stuff out, but...

    New 09 FJR

    I finally bought my FJR 09, last one on the lot, and signed for it on Monday 22nd. :yahoo: Now...the dreaded question.... but first, a quick history recap: I bought my 09 FZ6R last June, brand new, and did the "manual" suggested Break-in. Kept her under 4K RPM or whatever it was, and did...
