Thanks guys. Checked the website out and the Silver version is out of stock (until 7-1-2010?). Is there a code to get the FJR Forum discount?

having a tough time getting to the straight stems to check my pressure. putting new tires on soon and would like opinions on whether there is a different stem which would make it easier to check tire pressure. found these on the net ...billet valve stems ... but would like to know if others...

I called Cycle Gadgets and they said that they didnt have a way to make the mini USB wiring product water proof/resistant. I told them that this was a step short of a good product. How could you make a wiring product for a motorcycle, especially where a USB end is going to be exposed to the...

Just looked through my PCIII stuff and I cant find a USB cover plug in the box. After reading your reply, I was thinking and I am pretty sure there is one under the seat on the PCIII. I bought my PCIII from Fuel Moto. Maybe I'll contact them to see if Power Commander will sell that part...

I have been struggling to find the products that I would like to use to mount a GPS to my 2008 FJR. I think I am going to go with the Techmount bracket which replaces the triple tree stem nutt and the bracket mounts to the stem nutt. link here...Techmount Stem Mount . My delima now is trying...

Good questions, I was pondering the same thing :yahoo:

I purchased the OES, but I have a Gen II. IMO, after seeing both products in person, if I had it to do over again, I would have purchased the Motivation sliders. They are noticably longer than the OES product. I recently had a stall on a steep side hill grade and had to gently let mine down...

Okay, I dont want to sound stupid, but can you tell me what the Battery Tender is and (if possible) provide a link. I just did a search on here and nothing obvious came up. Thx, JRH08FJR

Thx for the link. Think I will print this out and take it to my mechanic to get a labor estimate. BTW, I kind of disagree re: the wimpy dash outlet. Want to take my girlfriend out on some overnight and weekend trips and I cant see how I can depend on calling Progressive when half the time, my...

After reading some of the banter recently regarding small, portable air pumps, I am a little frustrated to find out that the FJR dashboard power outlet is not set up well enough to power one. IMO, this is a pretty big flaw. I surmised that I need a seperate outlet wired off of the battery, but...

I have a similar story. Having never dropped a street bike in my life, I wasnt really wanting sliders on my FJR. However, after reading this forum, it seemed like a good idea since quite a few on here had stories of their bike ending up on it's side. I ordered the OES sliders and ironically...

After reviewing your link, what concerns me is that I use Throttlemeister bar ends and apparently, the FJR is set up for a much longer grip. I can see one photo where a guy has modifed his controls (with Throttlemeister) to fit the BMW grips. He apparently used a MX Grip donut. I have no idea...

IMO, the BMW Sport Touring Grips are the best I have seen. Yesterday, I went to the local BMW dealer to try and pick up a pair. Unfortunately, the dealer told me that none of the BMW grips would fit any Japanese bike. I thought that someone on here posted at some point that they used the BMW...

I like the shape of the Rifle the best, but I cant get used to the look of that angle adapter that must be used. I have the same issues that you describe with the Yamaha Touring Shield and I am still looking around. Probably try a Cee Bailey, but cant get a handle on what size I should order...

Just noticed your message on the board. I ride an '08 and have a friend with an '05. Shoot me an email sometime and we could meet up with you . We did an all day mountain ride last weekend. Anyway, I live in Virginia Highlands and could meet a ride almost anywhere given reasonable notice...

found another site from a link on Sport Touring.net. Apparently, this guy at Bitchin Stichin Fine Motorcycle Seats can rework a stock seat to help the problem you say you have with comfortably reaching the ground with your feet. Hope it helps! JRH08FJR

I dont think so because I have been communicating over email with Spencer this past week. Here is his email: [email protected] . I am thinking he is probably swamped this time of year with riding season just begining. JRH08FJR

Maybe this guy, Spencer, at Spencer's Seat Mods can help you. I have been discussing having him modify my seat. He basically reworks the stock seat to make it more comfortable using higher quality materials and forming them to your riding position and personal characteristics. I am 6'2" and...

Thanks for the tip. I rode through Jasper GA on my FJR last weekend. Rode my bike up to Chattanooga, TN because one of my friends as picking up a 2005 he just bought there and we wanted to ride home together. In the future, I'll defintely make sure I tone it down in that area. JRH08FJR

Yes, Yamaha sells rear fender covers for your bike. That is what you want to ask for: Rear Fender Covers. My 2008 was missing the covers and so I had to purchase them from Yamaha. They are quite expensive though, around $64 for a set of four. The part numbers for the 2008 are ...
