Hey guys, I'm trying to buy a mc cover that fits the bike, and I just received my 2nd cover from a 2nd dealer (mail order) which I've got to send back, because, although they say they're for a 2nd gen FJR, they wont even pull down over the windshield (too short!). I took my bags off the day I...

in good shape, that they'd like to part with, for a reasonable price? This would be the black one. . . Drop me a line, please.

Last Thursday was the date for a much anticipated suspension upgrade (fork rebuild & Penske shock) with KFG Racing, and I rolled over at 6 a.m, to find a beautiful blue sky and 42• F temps, which is unusual for Tacoma, at this time of year. So at about 9, I uncovered the bike, stuck the key in...

Man, today was a lovely day for a ride. . . the first in about 5 weeks, and it made me think of a question that I had meant to present to you guys before, and it had slipped my mind. Is the charging unit (stator?) for our bikes like an alternator, which I think puts out pretty much the same...

What do you think of this? https://tinyurl.com/7o7d5dj Luckily, here in Tacoma, most of the "light pads" seem to be set up for weights low enough that motorcycles will change the lights. . .

In the "Technical/Mechanical Problems" forum, Brodie posted a note to me, and it sounds as though he has not seen the full replacement harness. Have any of you guys who have had the full harness replacement done, tried to hook Brodie's harness back up? I'm curious, 'cause I've got his harness...

Hey guys, I did a "search" and got 88 results, none of which seemed to have anything to do with my question, so, I'm wondering if it's safe to use Rain-X on our face shields. I went to their web site, but didn't find an answer, so I was wondering if some brave soul here, has tried it, and how...

Don't know where on the forum to put this, so the moderator can feel free to move it, but I thought you guys might enjoy this: https://tinyurl.com/4nr6e4a

Hey guys, last year, when the local dealer did my ignition switch-out, they installed the heli riser, and I asked them to put it on the "furthest back" adjustment, and I'm kinda wondering if they did. Can you guys tell me if you can see any of the "adjustment hole" closest to you as you're...

I pulled a real bonehead move yesterday, and inadvertently drove over a curb, putting a small dent in both of the left hand side headers, motor side of the catalytic converter; the worst of the 2 has a "softly curved" bend of about 3/8", and I was wondering if it's worth sweating about. Will...

I'm looking for opinions from any of you guys that have tried these gloves. I saw some at the local bike store and tried them on, and they felt pretty good, and I'm wondering how they are in warmer weather. I found a couple of opinions on sales sites that said something about shoddy...

Just bought a Corbin seat (generation II) from one of the other members, and it's beautiful. Got it home, and went to mount it, but found that in order to get it on, that I had to remove the plastic. . . ummm. . . Don't even know what to call it, but it's kind of a rectangular box (support...

When I was in the new Ace Hardware yesterday, and noticed, displayed very prominently in front of the cash register, several containers of "Anti-Monkey Butt Powder" for both men and women (different designs and maybe different ingredients?). I immediately thought of y'all! :rolleyes: No...

You may have to cut and paste to get there, but check (all 1 line!) out this guy! https://www.gamaniak.com/embed.swf?file=htt...ml&displayc The main screen will be pixilated, but hit the "play" button, and away you go. I'd love to know where this is. . . And I'd like to know what the...

But before y'all haul my ashes over the fire, I did a quick search, using 3 different phrases, and wasted 45 minutes reading! Please, go easy on the old man! The jacket that I'm using now is a Dainese, but at 75•, it's too hot, even with the liner out. Went riding today without, but, being...

I got in on the "group buy" for the Helibars a couple of months ago, and also got Brodie's ignition fix harness, but since I live in the Seattle-Tacoma area of the great (although rainy!) Northwest, and have no garage (ah, don't sweat it guys, it stays under a really nice cover!) in which to...

The temps got all the way up to 34• today, and it was dry, so with some trepidation, (NOT a fan of the cold!) I took the FJR out for the first time in 3 weeks, and just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate you all helping me decide on this bike, after "dithering" for about a year. It...

After a mere 4 months and 1700 miles of owning my new FJR, yesterday I did what so many others here have done, and I feared doing. . . Yep, I found myself sideways on the ground with it on top of me. Thanks to the sliders, the only damage was a scraped mirror mount and a broken mirror. . . The...

Hey guys, any idea where one can get an FJR belt buckle? I've seen one advertised, but darned if I can remember where; must be a case of OTD! :yahoo:

but I'm going to hold my breath and do it now, hoping that everybody is not going to jump all over this: Ya know the little red and white "warning" sticker that came on your bike, right above the gas filler? I've been looking at it now for a couple of months and thinking, "Maybe I ought to...
