You are going to love this seat! About the flat-footing it at stops - I was a bit uncomfortable with this at first, but have got into the habit of shifting the butt forward and over a bit at stops while putting the leg out and it is no bother at all. I have done a few 10+ hour days with no...

Hey Jeff, Thanks for sharing your adventure. Hope you managed to partake in some Canuk beer while you were up here.....mmmmmmm.......beer........ The Crowsnet Pass is indeed a scenic ride with plenty of nice curves. The mountain slide you refer to is the "Frank Slide" - where the entire...

Having cut down a few of these, I can second the original reply that finer grades of sandpaper on the rough cut results in a very professional finish. On a rubber sanding block, start with 80, then 100, 120. 150, 200, 250, 400.... :thumbsup:

RATS!!! I would love to tag along....but...I have a commitment I can't escape from.... :angry2: Have fun!

How did you attach the Garmin 330 to the FJR?

Do as I did - cut a 1/4" hole and use a jigsaw with a blade rated for plastic. Works like a charm. You will spend a week going at it with a Dremel...tidy it up with a file then some sandpaper (from coarse to file) and you are set.

Some thoughts: - Back pressure from the stock windscreen could cause the shoulder blade pain - my VStream virtually eliminated back pressure - Releasing the spring tension on the throttle body by one revolution may help - it certainly did in my case - Set-back risers like the MCL (as already...

Count me in as one of the spring-release converted for the '05 - that one mod made a huge difference to me - wrist pain gone, mid-back-shoulder "pinch" gone....me happy... :D

Hi John, I am in Alberta, I can tell you for sure that in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan that radar detectors are A- :thumbsup: OK.

I can give you the quick and dirty, having cut down a few of these recently. Simply get a "Plastics" blade for your jigsaw. Place wide masking tape on your windshield where you are going to cut - both sides. Pencil the shape - once you get it right trace one half with a piece of paper and...

Like some of us here, I own a cage - in fact, where I live, I am forced to drive it more than 6 months a year (snow, ice, etc) I will admit that since becoming a rider (10 years now) I have become a MUCH better cage driver - full shoulder checks, etc and make a concerted effort to allow faster...

I had the same affliction - the risers did help, but for me (and YMMV, etc, etc, etc) the big fix was the throttle spring mod. Once I flipped that middle spring off one revolution the shoulder blade pain (and the wrist numbness) were gone. I typically do 500 to 750mi per day when on the road...

Having spent the first half of my working life covered in sawdust - I can say - Nice Work! And so true about the pleasure to stand back after a days work and say "I did that!" Now I can only say - er...ahhh...nice addition to that GPO for SOX Compliance..... :dribble:

+1 on Ghost - have been using it on 5000 hosts forever and it is the goods....

Or just tell folks here the FJR blows donkeys and you're buying a BMW instead. Actually, it blows goats and I am buying a Hyosung instead! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is not just red, that is deep, glorious RED! Shame on Yamaha for releasing those nasty Photochops...! :assassin:

Yo!, I found a unit up here in Canadian Tire up here that fits very nicely under the seat without modification. I modded the ends to fit into my Widder set up and snugged in a repair kit and I am good to go! All under the seat. Let me know if you are interested - I will send pics and even send...

Thanks for this Randy, this is the shit! Picture #3 is definative. Me likey..... :yahoo:

Lemme guess - you are going to paint it Black Cherry :blink:

Good plan, as it does not appear it is Moly 60 that was used for the last go-around.... And be sure to do the u-joint service while you are at it...takes about anouther 10 minutes
