My buddy is using the Ride On in the tires on his Goldwing. So far his only complaint is an initial imbalance when tires are cold, but it smooths out very fast as tires heat. I'm considering trying the Ride On in mine on next tire change. Why are you not using the Ride On in front also...
Even if they feel fine and since they are new tires, I would still suggest using some of the Balance beads as already stated above. Super easy to install and they are cheap insurance against any type of balancing problem and abnormal tire wear. They have made a big difference especially with my...
Not to be negative before all is known, but that sounds very complicated especially when it's time to change a seal in the forks and the guts have to be removed. Hopefully it will be a great system. Yamaha has a good reputation and ill designed suspension would be a nightmare for owners. Maybe...
It may have already been explained, but does anyone know exactly how the ES work?. Does it utilize some type of air pump with electric motor to increase air pressure in fork/shock. I guess I'm asking; how complicated is this type system and how potentially problematic could it be if there was a...
My best friend just aquired the new Honda F6B and really likes it. I rode the bike and compared to the standard wing was impressed with it's lighter feel and he added a riders backrest which made the bike very nice. The machine handles well and I was impressed with its nimbleness. Although I am...
On the JVC I do not see any sensor. There is a 2 inch long switchbox with a clip
located approx. 1 foot below earbuds. I do know simply from listening that when engine is idling and I have these on under my helmet if they are switched on there is a significant decrease in engine noise and an...
I'm sure the Bose are very good as is with all Bose products but if anyone is searching a much cheaper alternative which does a fine job of noise canceling. Check out the JVC HA NCX78. They have the noise canceling switch and are only 50 bucks and have a 5 star rating. I have used these for 3...
Sorry for bad photos. Picture 4 and 5 taken from right rear side are with rear seat removed showing bracket coming up from under front seat and how backrest fits into slot. Note that bracket fits just against rear of front seat. You are seeing the rear of the backrest and how it drops down into...
This is my latest mod which was adapted to fit my bike. The backrest is specifically made for a Yamaha Royalstar Tour de lux and was purchased on eBay for $85. With about an hours work it was made to fit and works quite well. The bracket was bolted to the latch mechanism under the front seat...
Dislocated my shoulder along with the fallover and the nausea of seeing my new bike damaged was almost too much. But after reading all of these other club members problems and knowing I'm not alone I feel much better! Nothing bonds better than misery.
Thanks for the compliments! I must confess that my friends 2013 motivated me to see if I could find some. I found those on ebay under motorcycle leds. The store name was Nyte Riderz Led Shop. You can get a pair for $13.99. They could almost be advertised to fit the FJR specifically because they...
Here are a couple of cheap mods I have done recently. One was a idea my friend gave me that he picked up off the goldwing forum. You take a honda goldwing radio knob; $8.00 and a key $3.00 and cut key and insert and glue with gorilla glue into the knob. Key has to be cut so it can't start bike...
Ok; This is my friends and he was unable to post for whatever reason. He bought the bike about 5 months ago and for various reasons decided to purchase a goldwing fb6? bagger, the new one.Bike is fine, just prefers the honda, go figure?
I'm a Gen II owner and I assisted my friend with his 2013 battery access. Without a doubt we are definitely one up on the GenIII crowd when it comes to battery access. Sadly, Its a poor design and should be corrected. Battery access and or changing the battery should not be that difficult.
Well I received my Hyperlights yesterday and with help from my buddy we had them on in about 30 mins with no drama. Tested with no apparent ill effects to abs. Used wire code referred by Matt101 and was easy to hook-up along with their directions and they definitely can be seen. Thanks for...
