Will the Shoei Neotec XL size fiit inside a Gen II saddlebag? I don't have access to one to try it out. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'm in the market for a new good quality modular helmet. I live in the sticks and there are no dealers around me (to my knowledge) that have a reasonable amount of stock to try on. Tulsa used to have a reasonably stocked helmet and gear store but it has been turned into an Indian dealership...

Thanks to all for the replies. I'm only considering doing this because it has been such a hassle not to. My dealer is the closest Yamaha dealer to me at 35 miles. The next closest one is 70 miles. My dealer has the idea that they are legally bound to do the recall and keep after me to get it...

What are the ground harness recall attachment points? Obviously one point is S4 and the blade goes to the ground (Under the battery?) Where does the third connector attach? I have Brodie's harness installed. I want to revert S4 back to stock so the service department doesn't give me grief...

I'm sorry to bring this all up again. My dealer is giving me a lot of hassle about not having the recall done. I've explained about Brodie's excellent solution (which I installed shortly after he started shipping) but they don't care. They seem to think they have a legal responsibility that...

Does anyone know if these will mount and fit within the confines of the Racing 905 crash bars?

Thanks! That looks like just the ticket.

The rubberized coating on the bottom snap of my Firstgear Rainier has torn and worn off. Can anyone offer guidance on repair or replacement? I've thought of bonding a thin rubber-like material to the head (assuming I can find some) or outright replacing the snap but I can't find one with a...

For late fall through early spring I use the Yamaha Touring shield. I like it because it is for me a good compromise between function, simplicity, and looks. There are no tuning blocks, no peculiar shapes and not too large to ruin the clean lines of the FJR. There is little to no buffeting...

Does anyone have experience how the Wild Bill setup plays with the Racing 905 crash bars? I bolted on a pair of "folding" pegs to the crash bars but was extremely unhappy with the results. Although my pegs did fold I would have much preferred them to be spring loaded or at least have detents...

I don't recall seeing this answered by anyone. It would be really nice to know. My dealer is quite insistent on getting the recall done. What I'd planned on doing was simply disconnecting and folding back Brodie's harness at the main spider in question and then re-installing it after the...

Fantastic! I bought my first FJR at 55! Absolutely the best three years of my motorcycling life!

Seeing you're from NZ reminds me of how often I've thought how this magnificent machine might have been appreciated by your fellow countryman, Burt Munro. Imagine going this fast COMFORTABLY and without having to cast your own pistons! For what it's worth, I turned 58 today, been riding...

Thanks! Geez, I never heard of that stuff! Maybe I lie. I walked in on my very eccentric organic chemistry professor once when he was spreading a substance on his shoes and muttering to himself. That's what I love about this forum; the incrdible body of experience from throttle body syncs to...

I have a pair of clodhoppers currently ensconced in Size 14 Setup Sunrise boots. I grind my boots quite a lot. Actually a recent inspection was shocking in terms of how much was gone; they will surely die before their time at this rate. I make an attempt to keep the feet tucked in and high...

Brodie, Put me down on the list. After installing your excellent ignition fix I'm ready for another project...and really don't relish being stranded or worse due to yet another electrical problem. Thanks, Charles (Blackarrow)

I think there are some others as well. I've been using Linux since the '90's and unix before that. It surely has come a long way. The computers in this household which were bought and not home built came with Windows, naturally, but Windows is seldom used. There is way to much time spent on...

'Just ordered medium rally in black. No trouble with Firefox under Suse Linux.

Uh...been there done that. It was my query that started the thread. 'Glad my pain helped someone out down the line. This is really a great forum with lots of help...one of the minor reasons I went with the FJR...along with the fact that almost three years later I'm still crazy in love with my...

I like mine a lot. To me it is a very good compromise between aesthetics and function. I tried the V-Stream and found it marginally quieter but not enough to justify the appearance. 'Not saying it was ugly, but prefer the appearance of the Yamaha touring. Aesthetics are highly individual...
