    Holeshot Header Question

    I have an '05. I have only one heat-related problem with it and that's my feet. They get a little too toasty even on cool days. Can those of you with Holeshot headers say how much of that could be eliminated by getting the header and getting rid of the cats? Seems to me that might be the major...

    www.motogearoutlet.com

    Had a good experience with these folks. I ordered an Olympia Airglide 2 jacket from them. One of maybe 2 places on the web I found that sell them. They have all colors and sizes to choose from too. The price was MSRP but shipping was free... can't complain. The jacket was shipped quickly and...

    Farkle Priorities

    Prevent Identity Theft

    I learned this the hard way... Never give anyone your drivers license number. I have rarely ever given this out for any reason, but in early December I went to a new doctor's office and it was one of the items of info they asked for (God knows why). Unbeknownst to me at the time, two weeks...

    Ergonomics Tweak For Throttle Hand

    OK...so my throttle hand's been getting achy since I bought the bike (but not my left hand). I put on Lenker Adapters and that helped a bit, but not totally. Then a couple of days ago I notice the difference in my two hands - the left wrist is rotated more towards me than the right. Then I...

    Natural Velocity

    I've noticed that the FJR's natural velocity, or the speed at which it prefers to travel, is generally 20 - 30 mph over any posted speed limit (except in residential areas). This is a problem because I have to constantly check my speed or it will just naturally drift to the upper limits...

    Needed: (1) Chrome Plastic Bolt Cover

    I mounted some bar risers and thought I had the bolt covers on snug. Well, by the time I got to work one had flown off! :angry: Anybody have an extra they'd like to sell? B)

    Please Rename This Topic

    Hi, Please rename this forum back to what it was...."totally off topic" or whatever. That's what I'm used to looking for. The "non-Motorcycle" slash thingy is buggin' me. Thanks! B)

    Free Beer!

    Well, not really. But this post is about beer... Microbrews. I like to drink them sometimes but mostly I drink Coors. But when I go to parties, etc with Coors people act like I'm either cheap or "uncouth". I can afford all the micros I'd like, but really the bitter-ass taste of most of them is...

    Mount Rainier

    Had an awsome ride today...went through Enumclaw, through Rainier to Chinook Pass. Then came back down through Rainier again and out the Longmire entrance. Came back via Lagrande (?), Kapowsin, Buckley, and Enumclaw again. Lot's of nice riding on the small highways around...

    Lost Bolts

    Was washing the bike today and noticed that I had lost a front fender bolt. I had also lost the nut from the other side, so there was only a loose bolt keeping the fender from rotating and scraping the tire. This bike has about 800 miles on it and recently went to the dealer for it's 600 mile...

    Lenkadapters

    Can anybody report on these? They are bar risers, 25 mm rise with adjustable bar angle. They sound pretty cool but they aren't cheap. Found them at Bike Johny. Another view:

    Numb Hands

    I've noticed my throttle hand gets achy and numb on extended rides. I know a throttlemeister or cruise control will work good for highway miles, but most of my riding is in non-cruise control territory. Has anyone got fixes that worked for them? Do the bar risers do any good? Thanks!
