I need a cost-effective cover for my FJR. I will be storing it under a roof in a carport, so rain and debris aren't an issue. I'm guessing that having a somewhat "breathable" cover would be useful for preventing condensation and hence rust. $149 for the Yamaha Logo seems a bit pricey. What...

QUESTION: DEALER HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. My problem is that I live in Juneau, Alaska. I bought the bike relying on the availability of warranty service through the local dealer. However, they went out of business. The next closest dealer is a 700 mile drive to Anchorage over bad road...

Very sweet. I like it a lot.

+1 (on the good side). I like it.

I can only give you my experience - the legs have plenty of room in them. Since you are basically ordering a custom suit you can ask them to make it with more room in the legs. If you've looked at the size chart on the website you'll see that each size overlaps a bit on the next size. I...

If you have a long-ish commute and have to deal with bad weather, you can't beat the Roadcrafter suit, IMO. It really does go on and off in 15 seconds once you get the hang of it. I wear office clothes under mine, no problem. If there are times when you just want pants, I would consider (am...

A couple of people have mentioned Aerospace 303 - not available at my local NAPA. Where does one get it? I have used Plexus on windscreens for some time. Didn't realize it was a good cleaner/protectant for other surfaces. Thanks for the feedback. Paulie

A lot of people seem to be down on ArmorAll. What's that all about?? I would use the wipes on the dash and to give a final shine to the fairing if it wasn't hurting anything. I'd appreciate your thoughts. :( Paulie

It's not Friday but I can't resist. If you want "the boys" to be nice and toasty, by all means get the heated liner.

I put them on a couple of months ago. It is an easy install - 4-5 hours if you take your time. Difficult bit for me was getting the new throttle housing back together so that the wire moved freely. If you are putting on a G2 at the same time (which I recommend) the time goes up a bit...

The heated handgrip plug is tucked behind the wheel well shielding and it has a specialized plug. It would be a pain to get the plug and then you wouldn't be able to install -- ta da! - - OEM heated handgrips. Why don't you do this: https://www.fuzeblocks.com/index.php It's a mindless install...

I'll be damned. There IS something new under the sun! Hope you can make this work - what a great idea. I wonder if you could do the same thing with thicker foam, eliminating the wood blocks altogether. It looks like you could start with a piece about 4-5" thick and carve it to the right angle...

I'm not sure what (who?) Wes can marry but the E6isolators from Etymotic Research are better than any noise cancelling system plus they are great speakers to boot. Check them out. https://www.etymotic.com/

You are going to think this is silly, but I'm totally serious. Wear a pair of light capilene or similarwicking long underwear. If you want pockets, wear a pair of nylong running shorts over them for your wallet, keys, etc. It's the river running uniform for wearing under rain gear. It may...

Craig said it. I can highly recommend www.Zappos.com!!! They ship instantly and free, and if the boots don't fit they pay the return postage. The woman who sold them to me sent me a nice personal postcard thanking me for my business. I'll never buy shoes anywhere else. No connection, just a...

Never forget that the missus will always know where you are - you don't want to be takin' no side trips off your announced itinerary.

Cordura is totally waterproof. It's the seams and zippers that leak. If you design the back with downward facing storm flaps over the zippers and tape and SeamSeal the seams, it shouldn't leak. Also you should use SeamSeal on any place where there is stitching through the fabric. Wheaton's...

I have a pair of Doc Martens slip on engineer boots that I love. Comfortable, secure, and I can wear them to the office. I also have a pair of tall Danner lace up hunting boots that are comfortable but not stylish enough for the office. Neither one screams "motorcycle" at you. Both were well...

I went through the same issues and decided on the factory grips (a high dollar option). I'm glad I did. Here are my reasons: (1) While expensive, by the time you added in the Heatroller it wasn't that much more. (2) The really cheap ones require some jury rigged wiring. (3) Installation...
