I've got a set of Clearwater Ericas mounted, with the dimmer on my 09. I recently purchased a set of LEDRIDER's LR4 flood lights and plan to mount them directly underneath the Ericas. I'm curious anyone knows if I can use the Clearwater dimmer to also control the LR4's, or do I need to use a...

I bought my FJR used and it came with a Givi 46 and a backrest that can be mounted, but it wont fit with the Givi on. The Givi has a backrest pad on it, but honestly I dont trust its strength and have told the fiancé not to lean too heavily on it. I mounted the backrest and she likes it much...

Purchased a set of Heaterz grips from Twisted Throttle in February. Installed in April, worked fine at installation. Have never used them as it hasn't been cold enough. Rode to work yesterday, at end of day went to start bike, battery almost dead. Noticed grips were VERY warm. Thought maybe...

I've been wrenching on my FJR pretty much non stop since April. One of the main things I wanted to add were night-time driving lights. After much deliberation (and begging to the GF), I decided on putting on a set of Ericas from Clearwater LED's. These two videos are of my ride tonight with...

So I am doing quite a few updates to the FJR (finally got my Erica's from Clearwater), including Heated Grips, Erica's, USB charging port, etc. I'm ready to start wiring the Erica's up and I'm confused about a couple of things. 1. I have positive AND negative running up front from the...

I bought a used dash shelf and it didn't come with any of the screws or standoffs/spacers. The instructions don't show these spacers very well and I'm stuck trying to figure this out. Questions: 1. Can someone take some photos of the standoffs and mounting brackets so I can guesstimate how...

I've ordered the fuseblock mount that Art makes (he's a member here...Road Runner I believe is his username) and will be mounting under the passenger seat. I've gotten the wiring harness and fuzeblock (FZ I think). A couple of technical questions I have and have had trouble finding any...

I talked to a member here (Catfish)?, asking him if he had any FJR dash's remaining. He said once they announced they were no longer making these dashes, they sold out quickly. However, apparently the manufacturer MIGHT consider making another batch if we can get enough people willing to...

I saved a link for the dash, as it was supposed to be one of my spring upgrades. That link, https://www.brydenscot.com/?p=21, no longer works. Brings you to a main page. I emailed them last night to inquire about it, and obviously haven't heard anything yet. Has anybody heard that they...

Planning a ride with a bunch of friends around Lake Superior this Summer. We all got together last weekend and during the planning process a conversation came up about having a DWI and not being allowed into Canada because of it. None of us could find anything definitive on it online, so I'm...

So there's a group of at least 6 of us (3 bikes) planning on a MN to Canada, around Lake Superior and back home trip next August. I have a 2008 FJR that is basically bone stock. I'm looking for opinions on acccessories I need to add this winter/spring to prepare for the ride. I'm sure we'll...

While the bike has tremendous power, and is very nimble (for a bigger bike), I've noticed that this 1300cc monster doesn't rev up very fast. It's almost as if you have to 'force' it to rev up by slamming the throttle. The power is there...no doubt, but I've been wondering lately if the cats in...

I've been riding for years, but I'm no pro. I'm just now getting comfortable finding out just how far I can lean this bike over after roughly 3,000 miles on my 09 FJR. I ride it to work pretty much everyday, finally got my brainbucket and sena SMH10 working. I ride pretty sanely and try to...

Got home today to my first purchases for the FJR. A Symax III helmet and a Sena SMH10. I couldn't wait to get it put together, so I read the manual for the Sena and put it on the charger. While I'm waiting, I'm watching the instructions on Revzilla on installing the Sena on my helmet. The...

So just last Thursday I purchased a very well maintained 2008 FJR with just under 15,000 miles on it. Filled up on Saturday and rode it to work and back this week, with some minor in town riding. 70% of the time on it was backroads/hwy. Got down to a 1/4 tank today so I filled it up again...

I'm getting ready to start dumping $$ into my new toy. On the list: Frame Sliders FZ1 Mirrors GPS (probably a Zumo 665) Radar Detector Heated Grips (I thought all of the FJR's came with them, but i don't appear to have them) New Seat (something has to be better than the stock one) My...

2008, 14k miles, zero scratches, and I'm in love. :love: I expect that I'll be an active participant here. First thing I noticed on the ride home......NEEDS MIRRORS. Can't see anything.
