    Which helmets fit saddle bags

    My XL Shubert C3, L Shoei Noeotec II and my L HJC CL-17 all fit no problem.

    Well, it finally happened....

    Sorry about the drop. Unfortunately mine has been down twice but has only left a little rash on the side cases. I can live with that. Occasionally my 08 will stumble and/or die when I first crack the throttle. Usually when its cold or been sitting for hours. I was pulling out of the drive...

    Gear Help | Waterproof Pants

    Check out the First Gear TPG over pants. I love mine. The new TPG escape pant looks like it has a European fit, is waterproof and breathable. A little spendy though. Check Revzilla.

    $184,000 Honda...Who's In?

    I'm willing to bet with a laptop connected to the ECU and a few keystrokes you could unleash the beast. Provided you know the magic words of course 😉

    Vololights

    Looks interesting. I think I would definitely spring for them if they were brighter. In the video on their web site you can see the lights easily on the cruiser that mounted them to the back of the passenger backrest but the sport bikes own brake lights drowned them out. Maybe just a poor...

    Friend's bike stolen, again (LoJack and disk lock--one works the other doesn't)

    I had a smallish OnGuard disk lock. I was on an overnight ride and as I was leaving the hotel in the morning I discovered that the key would turn in the disk lock but the pin was not retracting. Dang!! Now whut! I went back to the front desk and told the nice lady about my particular pickle...

    OMG Oil spill

    Plain old kitty litter first. Then after most of its gone spray the floor with some Brake parts cleaner and you can get the rest with paper towels. Don't ask why but I've got it down to a science!

    Cat Removal

    Google Nitrous site:fjrforum.com You might see something interesting that sparks your curiosity. FWIW on my 08, I installed a Muzzys 4 into 1 header and can (no cat I believe) because I wanted more sound. Followed that with a UNI foam filter, modded air box and PCV. Never been dyno'd though...

    2014 ES versus a good aftermarket suspension?

    I would also be interested in how the ES deals with a middle aged butt like mine. I am about 235 lbs and ride fairly spirited and nearly always solo. I set the hard/soft lever to hard and forgot about it. I have also had to increase preload and compression damping to some degree. It would be...

    Suzuki GXR recall

    Wow Suzuki is recalling ALL 2004 - 2013 GXR 600, 750 and 2005 - 2013 GXR 1000. Apparently there is an issue with the design of the attachment of the brake fluid reservoir to the master which does not allow gas trapped in the master to be vented back to the reservoir. I suppose it means a new...

    Short inseam concerns

    I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam. I can't flat foot the bike in the lower seat position. When I bought my 08 I thought that was going to be a concern but it was n't. In fact I ride most of the time with the seat in the higher position for slightly more leg room to the pegs. I like others here just...

    Humiliation

    Sorry to get off topic with the last post. I always stand on the left side one hand on the grip and the other on the hand hold that you use to put it on the center stand and just walk he forward. Either that or do the Twerk :-)

    Humiliation

    A requirement of wife was that she could still park her SUV in the garage. I've got that Park-n-Moo thing and it works good for me. Pop it up on that thing using center stand, remove side cases, fold in mirrors and roll into a corner. The bike sticks out no further than our trash can and the...

    The Old (2013-2014) Big FJR Tire Poll

    Still on PR2s for now. I like the durability and will try PR3s next I think, once these have worn out. I probably have about 6k on the set now and they are starting to show hints of trapezoidal shape up front. Rears are fine.

    The new BMW HP4,

    I did the California Uber bike school at NJMP and yes that thing is extremely fast. I REALLY want one but when I even mention casually how much fun it would be AND how safe track riding is, the wife just gives me that look...That "You've just lost your mind haven't you" look.

    Wake up sleepy heads!

    Black flag though? I thought that was a bit harsh. I was expecting Marquez to have to do a ride through or something. Oh well makes for an interesting last two races.

    Fork maintenance failure

    How about pouring in some liquid nitrogen to shrink the bottom bushing. Then pour it out and quickly crank the lower down in the vice and heave ho? Don't they sell that stuff at 7-11 ;-)
