I did 10 days through Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island; that was a solo trip so there was plenty of room on the bike. I do also camp two-up, which is always a tighter squeeze. When camping with two, she gets one side bag and I get the other for clothes. Everything else squeezes into tank bag...

Sorry, I disappeared for a week. Here is a pic from zumoforums.com... clicky Just two small pieces of Velcro did the job, in the area of the red squares on the pic. A little thick tape would probably work too, anything to apply pressure to the back side of the GPS unit. Too much makes it...

I installed the Zumo earlier this year, along with Starcom Digital. Almost immediately (days) I began having problems with intermittent audio output from the Zumo. Searched the Zumo forum and found it is a very, very common problem. Lots of bitching and moaning, lots of replaced cradles...

I'm using National Cycle V-Stream windshield; it is very quiet with minimal wind, no suction and no heat problem. I am 6' but shorter legs and longer torso, so equivalent of typical 6'2" person. It is even a little better since installing Corbin saddle; the Corbin seems to be 1-2" lower than...

I think you have a FJR-1300AE? I have a standard one, black cherry, and that color is easy to get from Color Rite. However, the bike has some silver painted body panels and trim. I am looking for the matching silver trim paint.

I do not see the silver paint color listed for the 2007 model in the Bin-O-Facts or on the ColorRite website. I also don't see a definitive answer in other posts. Has anyone arrived at a good match (spray, bottle, pen), other than taking the part to a good bodyshop? (I don't have any damage...

Looks like I'll be at the vendor expo most of the day Thursday, along with another Feejer and a few other guys. It is really tough to make definitive plans, isn't it!

Excellent...

We can just let this thread roll for a few weeks, see who is coming when, and then come up with some options for meeting. As a newbie, I haven't yet had the privilege of meeting anyone here and am looking forward to it (though I probably shouldn't be, based on what I read here every day!) Of...

Americade (25th anniversary) is coming up soon, June 4 - 9. I am riding up on Weds., and staying through Sunday. A quick search on the forum shows one member planning to attend; anyone else have plans to attend this year? Depending upon the number of folks, we could just meet for a quick...

48 here. First bike was a '76 CB550 Four at age 19, then a CX500. A hiatus for a while, then a '76 Goldwing which I still have. Finally the FJR this year. I was never all that interested in a sport bike, though I do like speed. Had thoughts of a BMW tourer for a while, but pretty much...

Ordered mine a couple of weeks ago from U-motors. Looking forward to getting it; the stock one is quite turbulent, regardless of position.

Installed the G2 along with a Heli triple clamp today. Compressed air was definitely the thing for removing the grip; I conveniently have ~1/4 diameter wand at the end of the air hose, sticks easily between the throttle tube and grip. Squeezed a little around the open end to trap the air, and...

I installed my Heli TC today in an 07 (no risers.) I followed the instructions, and drilled out the switch after completely removing the stock TC. I actually wanted to pull the tank anyway, to see what it looks like under there. It didn't quite feel like my bike yet, since I hadn't wrenched...

I am fully engulfed in farkle fever. Haven't yet had a chance for a single ride over 50 miles on my '07, but that isn't stopping me from farkling. Started with Skyway sliders, put on the Throttlemeister, grip puppies, have a Heli triple clamp ready to mount, ordered a VStream (2 weeks lol)...

I have been communicating with GIVI on the subject. I asked if they are going to produce the color matched top in the 2007 color. Their reply (about 1 week ago...) "We are actually looking into this as we speak, we hope to know something soon. If we offer it, this will be on the V46 model...

Just got my Delrin's in the mail; lovely craftsmanship. Now if the snow would just stop, I'd go pick up the bike at the dealer. Let the farkling begin....

Fortunately for me, I live in the Communist, I mean Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our legislators know better than the marketplace, and insurance rates are tightly regulated. The result is that only a handful of insurers will work in Mass, Progressive not being one of them. The bright side...

I'm a bit surprised by the results. I guess the under 30 crowd would rather ride a supersport bike than a "supersport touring" bike. Suddenly I am feeling old...

Well, I paid $13,100 here in Mass. We also have sales tax here which was additional, plus registration, etc. In any case, the actual purchase price the dealer got was $13,100, the rest goes to the state. I also got the Y.E.S., and have since learned here on the forum that I overpaid by about...
