    Losing a side case. Is this just an urban legend?

    I went with BigOgre solutions. From what I could tell, I'm locking the bags correctly, engaging the slot etc. There is too much slack in the rack/bag connection. The bag can be lifted enough to disengage the rear position. The bag doesn't fall off but I certainly want it completely attached. You...

    Losing a side case. Is this just an urban legend?

    Well,  the 3/16" of epoxy did not fix the issue. I may go to the clevis pin. My bike is an 2008

    Losing a side case. Is this just an urban legend?

    Coming back from a couple recent rides and I find that the back hook of my right side case has jumped out of its slot. I unlock the case and re-attach it and try to see why that happens. I can lift on the bottom of the case and there is enough movement to get the hook up and out of the slot. The...

    Wild Ass Air Cushion

    I met a BMW mechanic who had just ridden his 2004 GS from Washington to Minnesota and back, he swore by the Wild Ass.

    Wild Ass Air Cushion

    This is the smart model. I do like it but with my new custom seat I felt it wasn't necessary.

    FZ1 mirrors?

    It looks like I got burned with these. I was looking for plug & play. Live and learn.

    FZ1 mirrors?

    I put the FZ1 mirrors on a previous FJR and they were great. I have a 2008 FJR now that I want to put the FZ1 mirrors on. I ordered a Bikemaster supposed OEM copy off Ebay and the threaded studs aren't nearly long enough. About 2 threads penetrate the fairing. I don't remember that problem from...

    Misaligned steering?

    Thanks neighbor. I'll try to make it .  I tried the bump with the pinch bolts loosened to no avail. Looks like I need to remove the Helibridge and access the steering head nut.

    Misaligned steering?

    I've noticed that my right arm is slightly more stretched out than my left. When looking down at the top of the steering head it is skewed a few degrees to the left when I am going straight. I do have a Helibar Bridge installed but it is symmetrical from side to side. It seems like the top...

    I've got the Laminar Lip installed tonight. Hopefully, I can get out for a ride in the next few days to evaluate it.

    There was no extension on any lines of my 2008 and you can lift the front of the tank with this installed.

    Fox Creek Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    A very nice American made leather motorcycle jacket. Men's size 44 I bought this jacket off Ebay several years ago and had it completely reconditioned by the company that Fox Creek recommended. From the Fox Creek website: Crafted from 1.4-1.6mm full grain leather. Dual front and rear vents for...

    Yamaha Touring Windscreen vs Rifle

    I have tried several different types of ear plugs including the Leight ones. I even had ones custom molded to my ears. None of them prevented the wind noise. Oddly enough it seems most pronounced when my face shield is closed as opposed to open. I have tried lowering the shield and I do...

    Yamaha Touring Windscreen vs Rifle

    Well, after a 320 mile ride last weekend I have determined that the touring screen hasn't solved my problem of wind noise. Maybe it is not the screen but my Nolan modular helmet. I have now ordered the Laminar Lip. I'm not crazy about the looks but at this point I don't care. I do wear ear plugs...

    HeliBar Riser for sale.

    What he said. Mostly, I think you have to undo some ties to get a little slack. These came off my 2008.
