Interesting article, as I am in the market for light brackets for my 2009 model. But I take it that from this that these Real Time brackets are no longer available? My days of night time commuting are thankfully well past, and my real interest in these lights is not so much to see as to be seen...

'morning (well it is here!) Thanks for the info; reflectors, no wouldn’t bother The reason I asked as I said my MG has side mounted lights and they work well (and I think look good on that car) But also an American friend of mine on the local base has a Honda with Givi Monokey Boxes and he...

Hi I may be a bit off centre here on this thread, as I’m UK based with a European FJR; but this is a “light” type query I also own an ex-US MGB, which came with the US side lamps red & amber, and these I like, you can’t have too many lights, and they are street legal here But I note from...

I note a lot of comment in my absence! In reply to "Morecowbell" above, besides the flask, sandwiches and spare jacket there was also the the tent, sleeping bag, cooker etc. In short I wasn't staying in "indoors". So room is of the essence I'm lucky in that I ride solo as my better half...

Sorry not to reply before; been enjoying myself so much decorating the house!!!!! I looked at the pictures of the pannier frames and thought that they looked as though they would fit However the UK stockists tell me that there isn't an adapter carrier frame in the H&B range to take the Givi...

Thanks for this info; followed your link and had a look at the Hepco & Becker frame, has potential! I haven't heard of these people or seen their stuff before so I will look into their panniers as well; although I do like the Givi Monokey boxes cos of that drop down access flap so you can get...

Hi My old 2001 FJR which I ran for the ten years didn’t come with Yamaha panniers and I used Givi Monokey Boxes, initially with a Givi Wingrack and later with SW Motech holders. The problem I have now is one that I didn't foresee when I switched my old FJR for a later 2009 model is that...

They don't call me "Lucky" for nothing. New shiny bulbs fitted but no change. So its fairing & tank off (the older the bike gets the more I seem to spend doing just that) and into its innards with a multimeter and yet more galleons of switch-cleaner. We are getting close to get rid I think; I...

Thanks for this. I'll meter it tomorrow, but have ordered a set of bulbs in any case as off to France next month and a spare set of bulbs is mandatory (I believe) and working or not they have been in there a very long time. But it has to be a simple fault of that I am sure

Hi Fired it up up this morning and low-and-behold no dip-beam lights. All fine last week when I got back from a weekend ride out. It has been washed (hose not power-wash) dried and its innards sprayed with a GT85 PTFE water dispercent spray and sat in a nice dry garage. Riding lights are fine...

I've just removed the tank off my '03 FJR and yet another pair of the little plastic brass threaded nut things (part no 90179-05523) have fallen out; knackered! At £8.40 (about $13) for two every time I want to service under the tank it soon racks up. I don't think they have these on the later...

Call me a cheapskate but all I have is a tall aftermarket screen on my Gen1 FJR with a standard Garmin mount on the inside on which I attach a standard Garmin Nuvi 765WT. In all the latest non-stop rain that the UK & Eire have been “enjoying” it has not been a problem. All I needed to do was...

All done and working, I will need to change the knackered electrical block. Still don't know where the fault lay, must just have disturbed what-ever it was. It was stripped down at the end of last year and this block wasn't damaged then (as far as I noticed). But thanks for the advice, this...

Tad confused here; found a plug of the correct dimensions complete with the correct colour wire (green) leading into it. It does show some sign of overheating ie melting of the nylon leading to one of the female terminals, and the terminal itself is fairly badly corroded. Trouble is the lead...

Thanks fellas, now we are all speaking the "same" English I know where to go. I'll post a result as soon as I get to the job. Girlfriend has phoned in panic with all the rain we are getting (as apposed to all the sun we hear you are getting in the US,) that her garage is leaking like a sieve so...

Thanks Fred for the info, the way forward maybe???? Firstly sorry about my English, that's maybe cos I am English and not American; so we speak a different language. But yes it is a Euro spec bike, O/S = offside & N/S = nearside, repeater lamps are the green dashboard lights (that being you...

:blink: Last week while touring in Eire my '03 (MK1) FJR developed an indicator fault that I have not experienced before. I indicated to overtake and noticed that the O/S repeater light on the dash was not lighting. Stopped and looked at them, the N/S all worked fine, ie 2 lights plus dash...

Our ceremony up north wasn't quite so sunny; in fact very grey, damp and misty; a normal Yorkshire day one could say. But it was a good gathering, the correct respects were paid; lest we forget

Hi I see from the original date that this is really old post; (but the problem is still with us) so I'm not too sure that this reply won't just disappear into the ether!! Am I right in thinking that your bike was totally dead? Mine most certainly is now; I've had months of occasionally poor...

Thanks for all the advice; now it's back to the garage to dismantle a bit more (looking a bit like a Yamaha Mecarno kit in there). I still have no idea what the problem is, but it seems that it isn't a common one which points the finger at a defective part; the interesting question is just...
