It's about time for a new 'Stitch. The old one is going on 10 years old and about 170,000 (s)miles. I'm looking to get a tan color with Yellow ballistics. Way back in 2010 I got one of their shot run Lime-Yellow Darien jackets, and about a month later it was recalled because of severe color...

7/5/2020 Update: I've since took the liberty to cross post this to that other sand box... https://www.fjriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=5300 I wanted to give the smart fellows over there an opportunity to contribute their wisdom to this topic too.  ==================================...

Wow, what a trip. I woke up on Saturday morning around 4am to the sound of my wife, Linda, feeding our 5 cats. Took a shower, donned an attachment, then got dressed for my ride. I wear an Aerostitch Roadcrafter 2 piece riding suit whenever I ride the bike. With me its pretty much ATGATT, all...

Bittersweet news... My good friend Brian Bott, aka FJRONAMISSION, has graduated from off the Dot and onto the Line into eternity with our Lord. He joined up sometime around 2008, and like many new members he asked if there were anyone in the San Jose area who wanted to go riding. We struck...

I've been asked in another thread how I did my Heat Troller set-up for heated seat and heated gear on my bike. Rather than PM the information, I decided to share it on the open forum. My idea of a good installation is to have the wire runs as far from the usual maintenance areas as possible. The...

This seems to be the time for selling windshields. Mine is a 4 week old National Cycle V-Stream windshield. I got it to replace my broken CalSci after an encounter with a low flying bat at FJR nominal speed. Through the years I've heard a lot of positives about the V-Stream so this was my...

SOLD ! I am offering a used Cee Baileys dark, reverse flip windshield. It measures 21 inches tall, and 16 inches wide at the top. This came of my recent '08 AE purchase. I tried it for 3 months, but it just wasn't my cup of tea after having a barn door Rifle on my last bike. It is used, but...

For Sale... SOLD ! Corbin driver and passenger seats for the '06 and later FJR. Seats only, no extras, however, they are ready for the back rests. Very good shape, no rips, tears, or scuffs. Less than 2 years old. These seats are built with the Corbin seat pan. They fit snug to the frame...

SOLD ! This trunk is in very good condition - not a scratch on it. It's color is Metallic Titanium - color matched for the 2008 - 2009 Advanced Edition FJR - The Paddle Shifter bike. It comes with the mounting plate to fit on 2006 and later bikes. I'm not sure if the mounting plate will fit up...

"SOLD" That was fast. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I had a get off just...

I found this to be handy ... Many times I am in a dark area when I try to get my key in the ignition switch. After building a custom key blank to fit this KeyLight head, all I need do is squeeze the black button and the keyhole is illuminated with my key aimed properly. It beats stabbing at...

Sold Thank you for looking... Pictured below is the Penski 8987 shock salvaged from my first '06 which was involved in a head on, 2 years ago. A change in priorities has me listing it on this FJRForum instead of installing it on my current '06. I am asking $500 plus shipping This is the...

This is probably going to set off a fire storm, but lately I'm being compelled to say it... Anybody getting tired of the locker room humor and seemingly crude comments and insults - all given in out in "tongue in cheek" fun? Some times it gets a bit overwhelming on this little iPhone screen. At...

This caught my eye at the Motorcycle Show last november in San Mateo...   Look again, the batteries in the lower left corner. My replacement bike is near 5 years old and had it's original battery. I have been monitoring it with the Datel I installed last month and noted a large drop in...

Like TriggerT, I am building up my replacement FJR one component at a time. My bike came with a Yamaha trunk which I wish to replace with my intact Givi V46. For some reason it was not on the old bike at the point of impact. My first bike had a plate mount on the Yamaha "rack". I reinforced the...

I've had plenty time to think back on my get off last July.                            What worked, and more importantly what failed . When I regained my composure, as best I could, lying on my back with multiple compound fractures in my left fore arm, I remember my right boot was missing...

With many thanks to the people buying my Grounding Harness, I went out and bought my iPad (Wi-fi+3G) last saturday morning. I spent the weekend getting to know it. Right up front i'm going to say "This isn't a laptop!" Don't expect it to take the place of one - yet. My goal is to use it for...

Gentlemen, Ladies As of 1 January 2012 I have decided to get out of the Grounding Harness business. Yamaha has a current recall for this problem that will protect that nasty S4 spider, although the S6 and S7, which have also given us grief, remains unprotected. If your bike is a victim of...

While some were out and galavanting about the valley of death, I took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and opened up my bike for servicing. Lately I've been getting a lot of overtime but not much chance to work on the beast. The following pictures are the start of my Grounding Harness...

I'm looking for a main wire harness from a 2006 to present FJR. It doesn't have to be intact, I don't plan to use it - just study it. Brodie
