Just made my reservation. Last EOM I attended was in 2008. Long overdue. Will be looking for other FL riders heading up on the 21st that I can meet up with for the ride up.

What's the Jax dinner during bike week if you don't mind me asking.

Welcome to Florida. I'm in Jax Beach and there are a few good roads around. Mostly scenic rather than curvy. Try CR 13 from 210 south to 207 along the St Johns river. A1A down to Daytona is nice but straight as an arrow. Just north of Daytona you can catch The Loop. A1A north to Fernandina...

Installed the Delkevics 17 inch tri oval carbon fiber cans about six months ago and am very happy. Nice low throaty sound and in 30 seconds you can pull the restrictors if that is your thing.

Conventional wisdom had always been to be first or last. However sitting on the other side of the table I don't think that matters. I can usually tell who will be on my short list by the third question. Outside of the obvious interview dont's, what makes the difference to me is how relevant the...

Having too much fun riding to give an update. The delkevics are perfect for me. Baffles in, a very nice low rumble just a bit louder than stock. Definitely will not bother me on a long ride as the sound disappears over 40 mph or so. I did run them for a short trip with baffles out. Not nearly...

Just installed a set of the 17 inch carbon fiber triangular Delkevics. Short answer I LOVE the sound. Low tones, not loud at all and a surprising increase in power. Hit it in first gear and surprised at how much power there was. Will post pics tmrw and report out after riding all day tomorrow.

Thanks Fred. I have been playing with both and still looking for the perfect setup between the two. So far for just the wife and I on freeway riding, two up with luggage setting and soft 0 is very plush feeling. Switching to hard +2 on that setting was not bad for light twisties, but still not...

After my first week with the Gen III with ES, here are my thoughts. I thought the Gen II allowed you to dial in the suspension pretty well with a little bit of time and effort and testing. Of course it was set and forget. You pretty much set up one suspension setting on the front forks, and the...

just checked my corbin on my 08 and it does have the seat pan with the indentation off to the edge on both the riders and passengers. that spot does not have as much cushion. I hadn't noticed it when riding before (but I have a skinny butt) Will probably notice it now that I am aware of it.

Oh great "Dealers will replace the ignition switch free of charge." Will the Dealer re-key it so that it matches your bags or provide three additional locks for the bags and tail trunk? Not really liking how this sounds at the moment.

heck - I don't even get on my wife's bike without her permission!

That is going to be one seriously freaking cool bike.

I haven't had it out since I changed it, but plan on changing that with a long ride today. I also had the 900 rpm idle setting, so since I also adjusted that I will not be sure which (if either) is helping out. I did notice that it was marginally better flicking the throttle from idle with...

Just did the Barbarian CO2 mod on my 2008 - when going through all the cylinders every single one was set to 10 from the factory - knowing that most people are reporting different numbers for each cylinder from what I can see, is it possible 10 is the default setting and my bike did not have the...

Not to hijack the thread but might as well add it here rather than starting a new thread. I have a 2005 blue painted lid for a Givi V46 top box that I am willing to bring - Had the top box on my 05 and have moved it to my 08 so I just have it sitting around. Pretty good condition - no major...

Use an oven cleaner as suggested like easy off. If it is just a smear, just barely heat up the pipes by running the bike for a few minutes - you just want to take the chill off the pipes and make them warm to the touch - not hot. Make sure you put a cloth behind the pipe OVEN CLEANER WILL...

look into the GIVI trunks - way less dollars than the Yamaha and I think they look a lot better with the FJR especially the V46. Here is the link to the GIVI usa site https://www.giviusa.com/caschi_borse_bauli_...492&lang=en The prices on www.twistedthrottle.com (just ordered some parts to...

Thanks for the great ideas and some of the generous offers (Scab's at least). I didn't realize how cheap it can be to fly from Jacksonville to Birmingham so I hadn't looked before. Now I am just waiting on a delivery date to make sure it will be there by EOM. Does a Givi V46 trunk fit in...

TwoWheelNut - I deserve that - maybe I should have said the more responsible group? :rolleyes: - No offense intended in this or the last post, just poor wording from typing quicker than my brain was working this evening.
