Will the Shoei Neotec XL size fiit inside a Gen II saddlebag? I don't have access to one to try it out. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'm in the market for a new good quality modular helmet. I live in the sticks and there are no dealers around me (to my knowledge) that have a reasonable amount of stock to try on. Tulsa used to have a reasonably stocked helmet and gear store but it has been turned into an Indian dealership...

What are the ground harness recall attachment points? Obviously one point is S4 and the blade goes to the ground (Under the battery?) Where does the third connector attach? I have Brodie's harness installed. I want to revert S4 back to stock so the service department doesn't give me grief...

The rubberized coating on the bottom snap of my Firstgear Rainier has torn and worn off. Can anyone offer guidance on repair or replacement? I've thought of bonding a thin rubber-like material to the head (assuming I can find some) or outright replacing the snap but I can't find one with a...

I have a pair of clodhoppers currently ensconced in Size 14 Setup Sunrise boots. I grind my boots quite a lot. Actually a recent inspection was shocking in terms of how much was gone; they will surely die before their time at this rate. I make an attempt to keep the feet tucked in and high...

I feel like a first class idiot posting this question but here goes. I took off my right hand mirror to get repair estimates after tipover damage (another pride busting idiot moment). So I attempted to put it back on today. It wasn't tightening down properly. Finally I disassembled the other...

Considering the number of posts about this topic I nearly put it in "Never ending pointless recurring threads". But I think something can be learned from FJR misfortunes and I need some guidance in seeking bag work and paint. It happened on a down hill stop to a more than 90 degree...

Who would have guessed in the heart of cruiser country we would have a big sportbike festival? And anyone who knows me probably wouldn't have believed they could have found me there. But I went, and I enjoyed it. This was the 5th annual Biker Boyz event. There were about 8,000 last year...

I've seen any number of beautiful pictures taken by forum members on their rides. I have missed too many opportunities for great pictures on rides because I didn't have a quick access camera. The cameras I have are too large for my pocket or fairing pocket. By the time I stop, dismount, and...

Apologies in advance for what is likely to be a dumb question. I searched the archives and didn't find satisfaction there. I bought my '07 April 23rd. Several weeks later, coincidentally when I took it in for the 600 mile service, it began running rough first start of the day. I thought it...

Someone once said the only good thing about the good ole' days is they are good and gone. There's a lot of truth in that statement. But at odd moments I find myself mourning the passing of the kickstarter. I'm all for technological innovation and progress or I wouldn't be riding an FJR. One...

The last torque wrench I used years ago was well worn and was not very good to begin with. It was the type which had a pointer to indicate the torque force on a scale by the handle. I never really trusted it. Having just ordered sliders it is as good as time as any to invest in a new torque...

'Didn't know if this was "Parts and Accesories" or not but here goes... Maisto makes a Yamaha officially licensed 1:12 '06 FJR Model Kit, about nine dollars (Toys 'R US). It looks pretty good from a distance. I was happy to find it because I didn't think there would ever be an FJR model kit...

I'm in the market for a new full face helmet. According to HJC charts I'm at the bottom of the XL range, at 61cm (7&5/8 hat size). XL feels way to tight at the top (probably headache inducing after awhile). The XXL feels like I think a new helmet should feel, which is to say just...

I bought a new first generation Gold Wing in 1979 and have been riding it for 28 years. Obviously I love this motorcycle but it has been laid up increasing amounts of time trying to find parts, and when a repair is beyond me for lack of tools or whatever other reason it is also increasingly...
