    Heilbars and a fork brace?

    Thinking of adding helibars and/or a fork brace and was wondering if there is any noticeable reduction in front end wobble and better tire wear with these options? With my wife and I, and all are gear loaded, we have a pretty heavy bike and ride primarily twisties. Tire cupping seems to go...

    Will a Gen 1 rear seat fit a Gen 2?

    Will a Gen 1 rear seat fit a Gen 2 and vice a versa? Is the attachement system/points the same? I didn't think they did but I've seen some items for sale that appear to suggest they do. Thanks

    Trailer isolator or just posi-tap?

    For those of you that have wired your bikes for towing, is a trailer isolator needed or can you just use some posi-taps and tie into the wire harness? I plan on using all LED trailer lights (currently building trailer) so very little draw on the system. Do they make a "plug and play" trialer...

    Trailer hitch attachment points?

    I've done the search thing and found a few photos of trailer hitches and their attachments for the FJR, but none are very clear. Does anyone have some good photos or a diagram of the attchements points typically used for trailer hitches. I'm sure they come with a diagram but I'm going to try...

    How about a small tank bag that really doesn't scratch your tank.

    I'd like a very small tank bag for the little items (sun glasses, cell phone, camera, etc.), but my concern is that it may scratch my tank. Personal experiences with small tank bags that truly do not scratch.

    Hong Kong levers on E-bay

    Just to pass this on as a word of caution. I purchased a set of the import levers on E-bay over a month ago. The e-bay member was mototo0319 and had an e-mail address of [email protected]. He strung me out for over a month and I never received the levers, he also told me numerous...

    Import adjustable levers (as seen of e-bay)

    Anyone have any experience with these import adjustable levers (e-bay)? I have seen the brake lever but not the clutch. Anyone know which ones will fit the FJR? I have ASVs on my Suzuki and really like them, thought I might look into possibilities of the cheaper set first.

    Bluetooth and helmet speakers question.

    The GPS I'm getting is bluetooth and I've seen these bluetooth "receivers", for lack of a better description, that allow you to plug helmet speakers into them. This would allow me to listen to GPS directions as well as mp3 from the gps. I realize there are bluetooth intercom units and I may...

    I have the Metzeler Z6, which came stock on my 2009. I have read other posts which said that Bridgestones were stock on their 2009. Did my dealer put on some Metzelers? Which is the stock tire? Thanks
