I use Sensaphonics Prophonic 2X-S. Just Google that to find the link. There's a number of discussions on high fidelity audio sites like ipastudio, head-fi, etc. on the merits of Westone vs. Ultimate Ears vs. Sensaphonics, the three main providers of custom IEMs. From an audio fidelity...

Ditto with respect to comfort. I rode with stock seats for a couple weeks then switched to a Corbin. I also came from a cruiser (HD Road King) and was amazed people could ride with their hands falling asleep. Heli risers largely fixed that. But, IMO, there is a bit of a performance hit with...

I have the Corbin version with heat. Other than the heat, stitching and dark blue piping, it's pretty much identical I think. I love it. I'm a commuter so most of my riding is limited to a half hour each morning and evening (more or less). I think my longest ride on it has been about 1.5...

Thank you, all. I found out I misunderstood Corbin's instructions and Corbin's written instructions are incorrect. The former led me to believe I needed an unused socket. The latter led me to believe my '05 ABS has a different fuse layout than the '03 Corbin used in their diagrams. The...

So, from the parts list you posted, it sounds like you don't need a high current switched source? The switched source just closes the relay? Any suggestion on which switched source to use? Since I don't have a spare fuse socket (switched or otherwise), I can't just grab a signal there. It...

There is not a spare fuse socket on an '05 ABS. At least not in or in proximity to the fuse block. You apparently cannot connect a Corbin heated seat in a manner approximating their instructions. Crap-and-a-half. Interestingly, one of the spare sockets does have two grounds. The other spare...

Mine work great. I run mine about half-way and they're toasty-warm. Maybe you have a defective set.

I just installed a heated seat using Corbin's instructions as guidelines. It uses a pigtail that is shaped like a fuse and is supposed to plug into an unused slot in the fuseblock under panel "A". I got the seat working, but now my windshield won't raise. Looking at the label inside the...

The fastener is a Torx T-10 Security. I found a set of Torx security sockets at an auto supply store. I think I also may have seen them available individually at Sears.

Good info on mixers. I'll add a couple of words about speakers. With respect to output devices: I use a custom in-ear-monitor (IEM) to listen to my iPod. There are also universal fit IEMs. IEMs are sound isolating and have an advantage of over in-helmet speakers with respect to isolation...

A voltmeter is a good idea. Any idea of a good source? I'll probably put my FJR on a battery tender every night just to be careful. I'll also plan on investing in a high output rotor in 2-3 months when they're ready. I'm still wondering if anybody has actually run both heated grips and a...

Does the stock stator output enough to recharge the battery too? I have Yamaha accessory heated grips installed. I'm not sure how much power they draw, but I found a different brand that draws "2.5 - 3.0 amps". I looked up the Corbin heated seat and found that it draws a maximum of 3.5 amps...

I installed mine weekend before last. I looked forever for the "other" negative connection specified in the instructions -- a connector between the left side switch wires and the main harness -- and never did find it. Somebody told me it's under the tank on the right side of the steering head...

OK -- I'm back to say the respondants are more right than me (I was more wrong). And I regret posting a response when I was in the heat of frustration with finding connectors. I don't want to leave a negative review of the shop manual posted without following it up with a correction. The FJR...

Thanks very much for the helpful responses. I appreciate them very much. I'll take a look at moving my ground. It is ground I'm after, not power. With respect to the non-helpful response (and the editorial comment in one of the helpful responses) -- Yes, IMO the manual is about useless...
