Clearly you know your way around a camera. I didn't realize the HDR function in the 5D was that good. Good depth of field too. And a beautiful bike just makes it just that much better. Damn, I was hoping not to fall in love with the gen III. I guess I'll have to start saving up.

I'd call Yamaha Canada to confirm if the YES works up here. Yamaha US is not the one you'll be going to for warranty work up here so what they tells you is meaningless. Like I said, they are two completely different companys. Alot of car manufacturers are starting to do the same. Warranty...

Yamaha Canada is a huge rip off. And warranties are not cross border either. I got my bike new from Montana and the warranty was not valid in Canada. And when I went to Yamaha dealerships here, they said I couldn't even buy a warranty for a cross border bike. You must have got a bike from...

Are the LCDs on the instrument panel hard to see with polarized sun glasses?

I got this problem too. Way to much tension on the sub frame in my opinion. Funny thing was I never noticed this the first time I installed it a month ago. I had hand tightened all the bolts so I never noticed all the tension on the bars even as I was torquing all the bolts down. I'm going...

I finally found someone else with this problem. This is exactly the problem I have. I think the tension on the sub frame when I force all the bolts in is not good. Its way too much. I think I'll just try bending the rack a bit. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=123362&st=0

I actually did read this already. He doesn't mention anything about alignment issues on his install like I'm having.

I'm fitting the Givi SR357 kit to my 2009, but the fitment doesn't seem right. When I rest the rear part of the rack on the three rear spacers (which I measured to be 31 mm and 21 mm like the instructions say), the front part of the rack is about 1/2" over the two front bolt holes on the bike...

I was considering the Pirelli Angels until I read all the negative stuff about them here. I've been using the pilots on every bike I've had for 10 years. I sometimes wonder what I could be missing with other tires.

What's that place in Tennessee that sells tires? I remember they had PR2's last spring for $220.

sportbiketrackgear.com looks like the best deal. I'll bookmark all these vendors for next springs buying. Thanks everyone.

I recently had a bunch of problems with my Mozilla bookmarks syncing and lost my cool list of fjr parts. I had a bunch of links to sites that had good pricing last spring but they are all gone. So I'm wondering if anyone has bought or about to buy some PR2's and what kind of deal the tires are...

I have muzzy slip ons. And I can say withh 100% certainty that Ioosening the smaller clamps under the bike will not cause the slip on to separate from the rest of the exhaust if everything is lined up right. But i also remeber when i first istalled them, that it took alot of playing with...

This is exactly my take on them too. Used them once and never again. Very poor representation for twisted throttle in Canada. Any future twisted throttle orders I have will be direct. My buddy ordered a Corbin seat from them. After 2 months of waiting he finally called back and they had no...

I have a black bike and yes black does kick ass. And tends to be a bit faster too. But when it comes to mounting the suction cup, I'll probably put some black sticker down. I bought a bulk sheet of black at a dirtbike shop. Matches the bike well. They had clear also. The sticker is smooth enough...

I too will use my Contour GPS for dirtbiking (or at least until it stops working). I'm sure its less likely to catch a branch. But I also have a gopro chest mount on order. I've seen alot of videos from that perspective and it looks awesome having the handle bars in the foreground. But the...

Ya, that is the other mounting option I wanted to try this year. I bought the motorsports version so I have that suction cup. It probably will work very good.

There is a pretty good discussions about this here: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=143079&st=0&p=929053&fromsearch=1entry929053 Personally, I think mounting to your helmet will give the very best dampening of the video. But on the bike I've mounted with these...

For those of you looking for the very best from their Gopro Hero 2's, I just did some testing that shows some pretty interesting results. So far all I've done is picture testing, not video testing. I briefly checked the manual and I didn't find anywhere that explained the amount of compression...
