    Raise the FJR tail - How to?

    If you go on ebay and search FJR1300 dog bones you'll find what you are looking for. Most of listings are for lowerinf but they do have Jack up bones. I have adjustable ones but I needed to lower mine. I also got an adjustable kickstand so the bick would lean at the right angle. They have...

    New smart helmet

    Helmet Update: Never received any anything to indicate order was shipped. Nothing appeared on my credit card. When it sounds to good to be true it is. Just someone having fun at the expense of others.

    New smart helmet

    Just ordered one. I'll post a review when I've tried it out. If it's not that great of quality I'll just use it for when I'm testing something new around town and for short trips.

    No brake lights and on the road. KrZy8

    Sounds like a ground fault. I had a friend who' s Gold Wing trike had a problem with all the lights in the rear of the bike going out when either of the brakes were applied. Turn out to be a problem at one of the connectors. Check everything from negative battery connection back. Hope this helps.

    Bad Idle and won't stay on (but turn on...)

    Did you drain the old fuel out of the tank before adding fresh fuel? I had similar problem and it turned out that the fuel was 25% water. Had to drain tank and start over.

    Anyone tried this H4 LED bulb yet?

    Just installed 4 emitter bulbs from LED Rider on my Gen 2 . Light pattern and color temperature works for me. Saw complaints on various forums about 2 and 3 emitter bulbs. To do the install correctly I removed the headlight assembly. There was not enough room for my fingers to get the bent...

    Hyperpro Street Box Suspension Kit thoughts?

    I've had the HyperPro Street Box for about a year and a half. Much better then the stock stuff that came on the bike. For me there was a vast improvement in ride and handling. Bought mine at AIMExpo and saved 20%. Walt Wunderlich Sebastian, Fl

    Upgrading suspension instead of replacing bike

    I have an '08 that uses the HyperPro street box, which comes with progressive front springs and a rear shock. The Kit is $699. The rear shock can be rebuilt for $150. Ride quality improved 100%. Rear shock also has progressive Spring so you do not hook up the soft/hard lever thingy...

    Come drink some POISON!

    I used Wright's Motorcycle Parts and Accessories in Salt Lake City in 2012 when going to the EODZA Rally in Ely. I contacted them in advance and was in and out in no time. They even shipped my old tires back to Florida for me as they still had considerable life left...

    Pirelli Angel GT

    I only got 6000 miles out of the Bridgestone's that that came with my '08. Have run St's ever since. Currently have a set of GT's with 13,000 plus miles and have not any issues with them. What I have found is to make sure air pressure is to the book's spectic's. Have you serviced the front...

    Rear Suspension

    Back in November I installed a HyperPro Street Box on my '08. The box had a set of progressive springs for the front, 15W fork oil and rebuildable rear shock. The shock also comes with a progressive spring. They charge $150 to rebuild the rear shock. The cost of the kit is $699. I found at...

    Converting a Google Maps route to Tomtom Itinerary

    Just purchased a Tomtom Rider 4.3, and have always used Google maps for planning. My computers run only Ubuntu Linux so the use of Tyre and Home are not supported. I'll start working with your software as soon as my schedule slows in a couple of weeks. Looks like it will solve my problem...
