I recently swapped rear wheels with Bill Jones, since he was getting rid of his FJR cheap with a straight wheel and mine is basically a pretzel. His is an '04 and mine is an '03. I was positive the wheels would be exactly the same,(both non ABS) but apparently not. When I go to tighten the '04...

Just curious how the area is for cellular service. I usually bring a calling card, but I always waste it, not needing it any other time of the year. It always expires by the time I remember I left it in the tank bag. So I'd rather not get one if anyone local knows if the service is OK. Verizon, btw.

I stopped for fuel Thursday evening 8/30 on the PA Tpk at Somerset. As I was filling up, an '04 FJR with rider/pillion rode by slowly behind me, looking at the Vmax on my trailer. Just curious if it was anyone here. I passed them when we got back on the Tpk, but when they went by us again they...

After waiting over 3 weeks for my Bosch relay order to come in so I could finish the Blaster harnesses, I get a shipment of these Tyco relays. Needless to say I was pissed! I immediately called the distributor and they put me through to someone who explained that Bosch relays are no more. They...

Sorry folks, but with increasing shipping costs and skyrocketing wire prices, I had to raise the price. You have until May 14th. Read about it here. If the above link could be turned into a sticky, I sure would appreciate it. Randy

How thick (mm's) are the axles? I have a choice of getting two different size balancers (Marc Parnes type) and need to know the axle thickness. I'd assume the front is thinner than the rear, correct? Anyone?

I can't seem to locate the phone number to contact Yamaha customer service. Anyone??

I just finished a Freeway Blaster install on an '06 AE. I FINALLY got to document the whole job, start to finsh, including mounting the horns properly. I hope these pics answer a lot of questions. pic 1.....The left side inner fairing, cut to fit the horn in snug. (arrow on tape just means...

I recently replaced my fork springs on my '03 with a new set of '04 springs. Now every time I push down on the forks, I can hear the springs squeak/rub on the inside of the fork tubes. How do I fix this?

I just finished mounting the compact Nautilus horn on my '03. All I can say is good luck to anyone else attempting to mount this setup as tucked in as I did. This is a LOT of fabricating! Stay tuned.....pics to follow tonight, hopefully.

I just went to order a new front Metz Z6 and the guy called back telling me the "'06 FJR front replacement" (56W) is backordered until 4/29. The "general" replacement is available immediately. I've never heard of 2 different FRONT Z6's before, only rears. Could both tires be identical and just...

Just letting everyone know that my Magnum Blaster wiring harness DOES fit the '06 model as far as I can tell. I saw the bike in person at the show in NYC, armed with tape measure and pad. I never needed either one. Just by looking at it, it should be the same. The '06 fact horns might sit a...

I saw some of the bar ends this guy makes, and they're top notch. Check them out if you're in the market. Good people. https://www.hvmp.com/

Anyone have a Givi rear rack they'd like to part with? I need the rack only, no mounting base for the trunk. I have other plans for it. ;) Randy
