    Wanted watertight tail bag

    I've used one of these for years. Works great. Comes in several sizes. Lot's of loops for tying down, I use Rok straps. If you look to buy something motorcycle specific you'll pay 2-3 times as much...

    Shad won't sell tank bag rings individually - must purchase bag to get ring!

    That stinks but you have to look at it from their angle... if you like their products so much you will buy multiple bags for multiple bikes. They are a business and looking to make more money. And just some free advice, you may have gotten a different response if you were a bit less harsh...

    ABS & Rear brake issue- Post front caliper rebuild

    One other thing not mentioned is to ensure that while you are doing the bleed to keep both fluid reservoirs monitored/filled as the linked system may draw from one or both. Not sure I explained that right since I use a Mighty-Vac and don't use the lever and/or pedal.

    Tyre Pressure Issue

    What Ross said. No FJR has TPMS as standard or an option.

    ABS & Rear brake issue- Post front caliper rebuild

    I don't recall what the manual says either right now but this is my cut and paste notes that's always worked for me. I use a Mity-Vac so I don't think it matters what order for those 2. Aren't those 2 linked anyway?

    ABS & Rear brake issue- Post front caliper rebuild

    There is a very specific procedure for a proper bleed. And the FJR needs to have it followed to help eliminate any issues. Bleeding brakes in a nutshell.... 1) Left front caliper 2) Right front top bleeder 3) Rear caliper 4) Right front bottom bleeder 5) Exercise the ABS pump by a) bike on...

    Riding in sleet,snow conditions

    I had forgotten I did ride in snow one time. February 1994 on a 45 degree day I got a lift to the dealer to pick up my new Kawasaki ZX6. They rolled it out from the back and the salesman took me outside to go over the bike. All nice and shiny black with purple striping. We went inside to...

    Gen 1 mirror Fit 2017

    Yep. FZ1 mirrors are a big improvement. Any year below 2006 will work.

    Thoughts on moving Frank, the garage king, from Colorado to Calgary, Alberta

    I wouldn't just slap dielectric grease on the connectors. I'd spray them with ACF-50 (or similar like Dioxite?) first and let it creep into the connector to break down any corrosion, then pull them apart to clean the contacts with contact cleaner. Then another shot of ACF and reconnect...

    Repairing Givi Top Case

    If you don't remove the case often and don't mind the hassle when you do, you could drill a hole in the bottom of the case and bolt it to the rack underneath.

    Heated frozen brake pucks -- Uh Oh

    No offense taken. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and I've taken his advice often. He doesn't hesitate to help anyone and has my utmost respect. Chastising probably wasn't the right word to use. I just think his comment wasn't really needed as almost every thread goes off on a tangent at...

    Heated frozen brake pucks -- Uh Oh

    Any related info may be helpful. Chastising us for not directly answering the OP's question isn't particularly helpful either.

    Heated frozen brake pucks -- Uh Oh

    OK so I'm guessing that black puck was not black until it was hit with penetrant and a propane torch. I don't know what the pucks are made of and I'm no metallurgist, but I do know heat will discolor stainless steel. Not blacken it but give a multicolored/rainbow appearance. I'm also guessing...
