The Avons are superior to any tire in terms of handling. They are a little pricey and probably don't last as long, but the confidence and smooth ride they offer is worth it to me.

Anyone found a good spot near battery? For those who have mounted under seat, what is the best way to route the wires back to the battery? Any photos?

cochise is a great dealership.

I have an '05 with just under 12,000 miles on it and my battery just started acting up. Noticibly weak when starting after sitting for awhile. Also, today it was weak, but started. I noticed it was making funny noises and the idle was acting up at the same time. I drove to a town about 20...

Rode this weekend with Bimmer rider (RT), and he has Hyperlite LED flashing brakes lights. Hyperlites These seemed to work really well. Anyone have these on their FJR? I would like to see how you like them, and photos of where you mounted these lights.

I have been wanting to get an Autcom Active 7 for sometime now. A friend bought one for his ST1300, but decided to sell his ST before installing it. He is asking $120 for the Active 7, including the Kenwood FRS radio kit as bought from Autocom, excluding the headset since it is already...

I know you can post a picture by referencing a website, but can you post a picture by downloading it from your harddrive or does it have to be on the web? I have several pics I would like to post, but they are on my harddrive and I don't have a website.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Many riders who have never did any track riding tend to lean the bike over a lot more because they are not distributing their weight into the corner. If you sit perfectly centered on your seat and take a corner you have to lean the bike over farther...

My buddy ordered an FJR in Jan or Feb this spring, expecting May or June delivery. He wasn't sure if he wanted one, but the dealership used his name to order one and if he backed out, no biggy, they would sell it anyway. The dealership fronted the $500. The same dealership used my other...

Just to give you an idea how bright HID lights are. I have a single (small) Nightrider HID light mounted on my bicycle. The light itself will fit in the palm of your hand. On night I was riding my bicycle down a bike path (no motorized vehicles allowed) that runs along side a busy road...

I don't disagree with you that detectors will detect any and all types of radar frequencies used by LEO.  I am sure that is true.  What I was speaking of was the response time for the radar detector to detect a radar signal.  In a case where an officer is running his radar continually, or...

I believe the template is something that is included from Bike Johnny if you buy the sliders from them. I am going to try the technique that involves taking off the lowers, screwing out the bolt so that it is touching the lower and then putting a marking agent (like grease or something) on the...

Yeah, there are so many types now and everyone has their own preference so on the higher-end bikes they don't even include them. Same with the saddle. Most people switch out the saddle immediately. I like the intergrated brake/shifters. They really make things a lot easier. The stock rims...

Now I am getting really excited about this trip. I am quite confident it will be awesome. I quite agree with you exskibum about the riding in the Sierra Nevadas, especially in and around the lake. I was there last Labor Day and it was very nice. Four wheeled part of the Rubicon Trail and...

Actually no, I have never ran across a radar jammer, nor have I ever heard of any other officers who have encountered one.
