What I like to call the "weekend rush hour". Everyone is coming back from their weekend trips sunday afternoon from Vegas and the like. You can have miles of traffic in the middle of no where trying to get back into the suburbs. I try to be back on base before or around noonish time on...

I hear fine using typical disposable ear plugs. I have to have the unit turned up as far as it goes but I hear just fine with them in. If the speaker is out of alignment with your ear canal by even a quarter of an inch it can make a huge difference in how much of that volume reaches your ear...

I hate tar snakes. It made it nearly impossible to ride a road up here because of them at any kind of speed. They were relatively fresh and slick as snot. IMO They'd be better off not even tar snaking a road to begin with :/

There's nothing in your final drive that can "slip" without breaking. The "limited slip" part on that bottle is referring to a limited slip differential on a car or truck which if it's a clutch type limited slip requires a friction additive for the limited slip diff to work properly. You...

The mounts are "sandwiched" between the mirros and where they mate to the fairing. On the 1st gen bikes the mirrors have studs and are held on with nuts on the back side of the fairing where a mount is at. I simply drilled two holes in the mounts to match up with the studs and bolted the...

Monkey Wrench Motorcycles They did the insurance work on my FJR and it came out like it was never crashed. They are real popular with the folks over on twtex.com It also didn't feel like I was getting a hot lead enema when it came to labor rates lol.

Just inside Gilbert, AR during the MSTA By-Way Booie.

It was. This happens once a year when they ride out there to "honor" their fallen friend who IIRC died in that area in a MC accident.

sweet deal I've been looking for a way to connect my Radar Detector to my SMH10

I plan in the future to run a set of fogs on the fork legs probably using some caliper mounts. Those will be wired to a relay that is wired to be switched with the low beams so they will always be on. The Driving Lights mounted under the mirrors are wired to a relay that is switched with the...

Here ya go. The mounts I bent up out of an old stop sign. I wouldn't go thinner or more flexible than that my self but I wasn't about to pay 80 bucks for a set of aftermarket ones.

I've got mine mounted under the mirrors. I actually like how the bike looks with them there. If you are using them for fog lamps low is good to go but if you want to use them as driving lights you need to mount them as high as feasible so you can get more range out of them.

I usually use the clutch but will do clutchless upshifts when riding in a spirited manner. I sure don't do "full throttle" clutchless up shifts. I close the throttle for a split second and at the same time shift up a gear then back on the throttle.

Looks like FJR wheel splines. And all that brown stuff looks like grease of some kind.

As long as its not "energy conserving" your good to go. Its on the label if it's energy conserving. I don't think any 10-40 is energy conserving. IIRC you DON'T want friction modifiers in your MC oil if clutch slippage is a concern for you IMO if the clutch slips with a "car" oil in it, it...
