    Turn Signal Indicators

    I used mounting tape for these super-brite LED's. Can't miss them except in very bright sun. https://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f121/Thu...nt=MOV03040.flv

    More Road Debris

    So I'm commuting home on the freeway in the fast lane with a beater car on my right; like an old Corisica or so. I catch violent, unexpected movement on the periphery and it's his hood folding back followed by something big and black flying away! Caught the look on his face as he was ducking...

    TCI Exhaust Wrap

    It's in this month's issue of Rider. It claims to put heat out the exhaust rather than on the panels. Anyone tried an exhaust wrap or shall I be the first?

    Zippers and Tangs

    Both legs of my HT overpants and one of my Sidi boot zippers have had the tangs break off. I use a paper clip wrapped with electrical tape to replace them. Does anyone else have these problems? if so what is your fix?

    Another Ignition failure

    Turned the key, power on then off. The only way it will stay on is if it is loaded to the on position. Back to the shop!

    Burning Plastic Smell

    For the last two weeks, I notice a smell from the bike as if a grocery bag had stuck to the exhaust and continued to smolder. There is no debris anywhere that I can see, and there is no performance problem or overheating. I walk around the bike sticking my face in the crevices but cannot...

    Another Mirror option

    The 10mm socket is already there. Just buy a mirror and screw it in (yes, it does clear the glass). This one is for an 08 Kaw Z1000. I can finally see directly behind and it is no buzzier than the stocks.

    Honda heated grips

    I got the Honda grip kit for my birthday (by request) and installed it but am not sure about the wiring. In War Machine's installation it appears he used the front brake light switch for power. This would seem to cut power to the controller every time the front brake was applied. I thought I...

    Rider Backrest

    I have been trying to find a backrest for my FJR with no luck so I made one. A few pictures... The rear seat is removable after the pad slips off. The upright must be removed to get the rider seat off, but the base can stay. I found my heels liked being on the passenger peg rails while...

    Clutch need adjusting?

    I have the clunk when shifting into first from neutral on my 06. Sometimes it clunks but stays in neutral and then have to do it again to get it into gear. If I push the bike in gear, clutch in, engine off, it hesitates disengaging before it will roll. The lever is on the highest setting, 5...

    Warm weather leg protection

    Any advice on leg armor for warm/hot weather riding? I remember Scooter having something to say, but I lost the link. Are Firstgeat HTII overpants too much? Is there a mesh that will not suffocate?

    Did you get a February thank-you letter?

    Slider Specs

    Can anyone tell me the OD and length of the R&G Slider? I want to get material and make my own. Thanks, TB

    First Feejer Farkle

    What was your first farkle, or what will your first farkle be? I plan on getting a Signal Dynamics dual LED license plate holder with a Comagination IBF4 flasher and headlight modulator as my number one.

    I just saved a lot on my motorcycle insurance!

    Seriously, Dairyland (Sentry) quoted me a rate $270 lower to insure my 06 when I get it. BI and PD coverages are higher and deductables are lower. I would recommend my fellow FuNGus check them out for their new bikes (if and when they arrive). TB

    Safety Lights

    Which are better as stop farkles, Hyper-lites or Signal Dynamics license plate holder lights? Is one brighter and grabbing more attention? I have also seen bikes with headlight modulators for daytime use. Does anyone know about this? My wife is very concerned for my safety - thanks for the...
