    Escort Passport - Laser False alarms

    Hi guys. Ex-FJR now Wing guy. I installed a Qi45 Escort (based on the 8500 I think) on my wing a few months ago and had the exact same problem. Laser alerts constantly. I finally turned Laser off. I may look into this fix for mine. It's good to look on other boards, never know what you will...

    When I had the RDL done for the FJR, it was 17 days door-to-door.

    Sorry if I stepped on an FJR sponsored RDL GB... I searched here before posting and didn't see any active GB's, so I went ahead a posted the GL1800 one. Didn't realize it was a re-occuring thing here on this board. Just trying to help out, again sorry.

    Russel Day Long

    Greetings from a former FJR owner... I now own a Wing and there is a member on the GL1800Riders.com board trying to organize a group buy for the RDL seat. I purchased my RDL for my FJR in a GB on this board a few years ago and the response was very good for that GB (I think we had over 100 for...

    Cruise Control and Heated Grips... at last

    They come standard on my new Wing I brought home today... yip, I did it, traded in the FJR for a GoldWing. I will miss the power and handling, but the Wing still has two wheels and I expect to have just as much fun on it as I did the FJR. You all have been great with answering questions and this...

    What's the best tank protection?

    my .02 on the MagKnight... I've had one on my '08 for two years. It's starting to tear a little and it's a pain trying to get it lined back up after cleaning. I've actually had it flap in the wind when I had to ride in a stiff cross wind. Like you, I've been looking for an alternative. Can't...

    HeliBars® Replacement Triple Clamp Group Buy

    No idea on the risers... no brand markings on them. I'm in... just won't be able to order until the last week of April. Thanks for putting this together.

    HeliBars® Replacement Triple Clamp Group Buy

    Question... My bike came with 1" risers from the dealer when purchased new. Will these work on the Helibar? Or will the Helibar only work with their own brand/style of riser? I am 99% sure I am in on this GB, but will have to wait until the later part of the month to order due to Uncle Sam and...

    Throwing a big Thanks to a couple of forum members....

    I've often read of the generosity of forum members, complete strangers coming to the aid of people they've only met on this forum. I recently got the chance to be the recipient of the afore mentioned generosity of two of the forums members. A week ago I dropped my bike getting it out of the...

    Wow. These things are heavy.

    It was bound to happen sooner or later. Getting the bike out of the garage and down we went. My driveway has a slight slope to it and backing the bike out is always a gamble. I've been expecting to drop it into the side of my car, but this is bad enough. Thanks to our exposed aggregate drive...

    Russell seat...

    Thanks Fred. Just like I trusted this forum on buying the FJR and getting everything to my liking with it, I will trust the forum with the seat. You guys have yet to be wrong when in comes to all things FJR. As far as any "research" goes... it ain't gonna happen.

    I fully anticipate being able to write this same response in a couple of months after break-in and getting use to the seat.

    Russell seat...

    You'll be fighting the wife for the seat...

    Russell seat...

    I will certainly follow up on this. I was on the fence about ordering the seat (costly), but knew if I was going to keep the bike, I would have to remedy the comfort issues that the wife and I were having first. Unfortunately, good (long) riding days are numbered here in Central Illinois. They...

    Russell seat...

    So, I received my Russell seat last Tuesday and luckily the weather co-operated Friday and Saturday for me to ride and then for the wife and I to take a short ride. Short story, I do know that my wife will never let the pillion seat go as she loves it. She sits up a little higher, but says she...

    seat's gone... 75 frickin degrees today.

    Man, talk about a thread hi-jack. As good as some of the sandwich's look, you may be interested to know my Russell is on it's way! Production date of 11/13 and shipped out today... not bad. Hopefully, we've seen the end of the frickin' rain for awhile and I can try the seat out next week.

    +1 on the hand guards. Added them this year, wow what a difference they make.

    seat's gone... 75 frickin degrees today.

    Boxed up the seat yesterday for shipping to Russell for it's magical conversion. Turns out yesterday and today both in the upper 70's here in central Illinois. Bummer... didn't expect Russell's to be so quick on a production date with 100 people in the group buy, but the production date is this...

    Second Look: Still operating?

    I returned a defective tank bra that I purchased from the group buy. Very slow in sending out a return label and it's been 3 weeks since returning the bra with no credit to my account...
