    Handguard modification

    I had a foot of the SAENG micro swirl edging laying around, so thought I would make use of them. Results..hands stay dryer in the rain! These are BMW GS guards, but the same mod should apply to the 'zook strom guards too. Glued on with black silicone adhesive. So far about 3k miles an no...

    Electrosport Stator Wiring

    Color me a newbie when it comes to wiring up a stator! I think I can handle the logistics of the electrical hookups, soldering, heat shrink job, and doing the general install for a professional job. Just can't figure out if it matters which white wires coming out of the R/R connect to any...

    Rider friend killed, a lesson for everyone

    Well, I attended the wake today of a former co-worker, a female about 47 years old who has been riding about 7 years. She was killed by pulling the plug, after an MC accident which left her in a coma w/ little chance for recovery. Damage to the brain stem and a grim diagnosis. What got...

    EOM Bike to Bike Radio

    Thought it would be nice to have a standard frequency for riders at large to communicate on for EOM as I know many use various radios. This we can help keep together, warn of hazards, and help find other nearby riders who may have strayed or fell behind. Any thoughts? I'm no expert on the...

    Alaska Leather sheepskin pad

    I've been searching for a low cost solution to improve butt-comfort for LD rides. A custom seat is probably the best way to go, but at $600, I just can't justify it for the handful of tours I do each year. I've tried a Corbin...comfortable for short rides, but really crappy in the summer heat...

    Anyone into sports cars?

    Just inquiring if anyone here is into sports cars. My FJR is my primary "fun" vehicle, but recently got into sports cars. In reality, I've wanted one for a long time, but a las work and other commitments prohibited the purchase until recently. Currently have a 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo with only...

    Any Else Not Impressed With New FJR Preview?

    On the surface, the improvements sound pretty good! Of course, we won't know how well they will work until someone gets their hands on one. One major problem I see with the bike is the added 50lbs. of weight (allegedly). When I throw on the side bags, tailbag, stuff, etc that is around 50lbs...
