    2006 FJR1300 Gen2 - OH - 15,000 miles What is it worth?

    I am getting ready to sell my cobalt blue 2006 FJR complete with over $2,000 in farkles - the accessories will not be sold separately. Low miles at 14,842 with new tires. Some of the included farkles include the following: I have seen pricing all over the map so thought I would ask here at...

    Which GPS to get???

    Zumo 550 has my vote - had one for well over a year and continue to use many of the features (ties into the bluetooth phone works well with Starcom1). Take a look at www.zumoforums.com and www.poi-factory.com for other opinions and information.

    Help installing a Starcom Digital

    I do not have a radar detector, otherwise have the same setup. Blue Sea under seat, Starcom Digital, Zumo. Make sure you have the Zumo audio plugged into the AUX location on the Starcom. I am not sure about the radar detector, maybe use a "Y" connector and use the same input? I also ahve the...

    StarComm Headset without Starcom1 Unit

    You can buy the Zumo headset cable - SH-550S and use it to plug into the MP3 player. AS far as FRS, so much is dependent on the radio and brand. You might be able to use the same cable if you can plug in the audio mic independently (then run VOX). Hope that helps.

    Motorcycle rental in Cleveland?

    Depending on when you are in town, I would be happy to pick you up and run you down to Medina (if you decide to rent a Harley and need a ride). Jim

    More Zumo questions

    I am a little more low-tech in my approach. The Zumo Bluetooth is mono. For me, I am more interested in listening to the MP3 and directions then I am talking on the phone. When I ride; it is partly to get away from the phone (though the call will splash up on the screen). I simply have a...

    Question about installing heated grip elements...

    It is directly feeding the Yami grips, but the variability may be controlled on the other side of the plug. It will work great for a relay when used with an independent ground (do not use the other plug wire). Note - it is tied into the headlight circuit so you will not have any voltage when...

    Question about installing heated grip elements...

    The relay is to prevent the power to the grips from being hot at all times (literally). I used a Blue Sea for my Honda heated grips and have power to it switched via a relay that is only engaged when the bike is running. Chances are good your grips came with an in-line fuse and you should not...

    Good news - the weather in OH is starting to warm up a bit :yahoo: Bad News - with the warm weather comes soft pavement and the risk of that sinking feeling :glare: Any update on the progress of a new footplate?

    FJR ordering

    I was $11,500 out the door. As noted the service was poor, they were clueless on the bike and it took a long drawn out effort to get the bike. The Manager who sold me the bike is now gone so I expect they are back to list price plus.

    FJR ordering

    I picked mine up late last summer at Metro in Mantua. Outstanding price, but marginal service. Check around a bit, you may be surprised with what you find. I might add, that unless things have changed, it sounds a little odd that they can get one and get it that quickly. I too am in teh...
