    Quick One - Where to wire heated gear

    Can I wire a single heated vest drawing 5.6 amps into the brakelights? (For my wife on Pillion) Or should I buy some longer wires and go straight to the battery? Thanks in advance!

    I bought my FJR as a replacement for a 1984 Honda Nighthawk S. I love my FJR, but it is just so much worse through the turns than the nighthawk was. I don't know if it's just plain weight, suspension, wheel size, whatever, but that little 450 pounder was a BLAST, I should not have sold it. I am...

    Any CCT sound bytes?

    I bought an 03 a little over a month ago that is making some mild ticking type noises, at idle and at 2700RPM, sometimes more sometimes less. Here is the thing though, it is WAY quieter than the soundbytes i have listened to on here. I can usually only hear it when warming up with the helmet...
