What about using the bottom of the cages wrapped in shop towels and place jack stands under them? Lift the bike temporarily from under the headers with a hydraulic jack positioned in an angle from the front, then slip the jack stands under the bottom of the cages. I too, built a black pipe...

@njdevils1990 congratulations on your new ride, and welcome to the forum! Be sure that all panel fasteners are in place when you pick up your bike - I see a couple of them missing on the left side, and the left headlight adjustment knob is missing too!

I included a link to the coupling nuts on Amazon in my post above. They are ‘tubes’ that are hexagonal on the outside and are threaded all the way through.

Hi @StratTuner , one of my winter projects was adding auxiliary lights to my bike (yellow for increased visibility). I mounted them to my T-Rex engine guards - for now, but I am considering of mounting them higher. That place would be at the mirrors, similar to how you mounted yours, but below...

Welcome back!

Welcome from So. Cal! You will find a wealth of knowledge here, make yourself at home!

I tried the Cramp Buster, but didn’t like it much because it got in the way. Last year I got this cheap rubber throttle assist thingies from Amazon that I really like - package of 2 for about $10. My hand (which is on the larger side) fits on the grip unobstructed with gloves on. And, when I...

The STS2 power line is only used to run the unit’s circuitry, it is not used to power the turn signal lights. STS2 requires very little power (I read somewhere that it only uses 250 mW). So, a 0.5 A fuse should be more than enough. The package doesn’t come with a fuse at all, it is supposed to...

The reason why I swapped my FJR foot pegs to GW ones is because I wanted an increase in the peg’s surface area. After several days of riding in a row, I was moving my foot on the pegs to different places to relieve the aching in my arches. The FJR’s pegs are relatively narrow compared to the...

Last year I swapped my pegs to the aftermarket GW ones too. They didn’t come with “feelers”, so I made a set from stainless steel screws and acorn nuts. I also had to grind off a little material from outside of the pivot brackets so that they fit between the FJR’s mounting brackets. I like the...

One more thing to check in your setup is that the brake and clutch levers are properly positioned. When you reach for the levers your fingers should be perfectly in line with your arms. You should not have a bend in your wrist (up or down) to reach for or when pulling on the levers.

@ecc1124 , I don’t have that harness from EB, but from what I see on his website is that the “black and white snap terminals” you are referring to (with blue arrows on the pic) are fuse receptacles. One for the switched and the other is for the unswitched main lines to the battery. Isn’t the...

Beautiful bike! She seems to be nicely equipped. Enjoy, and ride safe!

Hi, welcome from Southern California! Do you have some pictures of your ride?

I have a tinted one that I removed from the ‘06 I bought a couple of years ago. It is in very good condition. I don’t have the windshield-side velcro discs though. PM me if you are interested.
