My 2004 FJR near Banff, Alberta.

So I installed my new forks yesterday and reinstalled the front wheel and brakes....When I spin the front wheel the brakes are dragging. I will pull the brakes back off and check to see if the wheel is spinning smoothly then check the front rotors. Not sure if I have a bad front axle or bad...

I know that it is unlikely that anybody has these parts for sale as they are commonly broken it you hit something but I thought I would post my list before I head to the dealer.... 2005 FJR 1) Metal bracket that the gauges and windshield linkage mounts to (Yes the expensive one) 2) Metal...

looking for a set of the lower saddle mounts from a wrecked FJR (05). The parts I need are the brackets that attach to the passenger foot pegs with the rubber cover. I need both the left and the right side.

After 2 years of owning this bike I finally decided to mount the saddle bags...I did the locktite fix on the locks. While I was looking at the bags I noticed that there are two parallel tabs on the lower front of the bags....what are they for? When the bags are mounted on the bike these tabs...

So I installed my Audiovox CC system. I used a vacuum reservoir as suggested in the install guide on the internet for FJRs. I purchased the 1 way check valve for the vacuum line going to the CC unit and reservoir but I got the wrong size (doesn't fit inside my vacuum hose). I ended up just...

Due to work pressure I will not be able to attend the WFO (after dreaming about it all winter). I have a $79 room reserved in case somebody is still looking for a cheap room. I will be calling the Hotel to cancel on Monday.

So I go to bend the tab to clear the throtle cable it it snapped off. Now I have to pull the cables off and buy a new part....no riding for me for awhile. Can this part be ordered by itself? I see that the peice is attached to the throtle bodies by a 10 mm nut.....

Looking for some options on hard wiring in my Sears Craftsman mini garage door remote. I drilled and mounted a push button switch on the left dash panel. I soldered the switch wires to the remote's circuit board (where the origianl switch was mounted). My question is about the power. The...

Just installing my CC tonight. All going well except after I drilled the tab for the little chain to attach to......With the bolt in and the nut tighten down it hits the throtle cable when you have about 3/4 gas on.....Did you guys have to bent the tab more towards the left of the bike? This...

So I was playing with my bike installing some stuff and I thought that I would pull out the tool kit and the little plastic tray it sits in. All is going well until I try to unplug the wide electrical connector that goes to the ECU that is attached to the bottom of the tray.....Broke the locking...

I'm looking at adding the Techmount Stem Mount to my bike. I looked on their site but they din't seem to sell direct to the public.....anybody got a good source? For those that have already bought this item did you go with the 3" stem stand (Part # 10998). I plan on using it to mount my GPS.

Where has everybody been mounting their Starcom uiits? Pictures?

OK...here is a strange thing that has happened to me. Last June when I bought my 05 FJR I got a call the following day from my salesman. He is asking me how I like the bike etc then he tells me that I need to take the saddle bags off the bike as they have a defective mounting bracket (only my...

After reading a lot of posts about people running their music, GPS, intercoms etc through a device like a Chatterbox or a Starcom I have decided to take the plunge myself. Even after reading all the posts I still have some questions..... 1) Is the choice really just Chatterbox vs Starcom or is...

OK....After looking at all the options for rear trunks I have come to the conclusion that none are good for me. I have decided to go with some form of tail luggage (plus the Yamaha tank bag plus the factory saddle bags....If I cann't get all my stuff in there it will be left behind!). My...

I am thinking of adding a top box to my bike for the Reno trip.....In reading the posts most seem to like the Givi box but there is not much posted about the Yamaha topbox. I like the idea of the factory box matching the color etc. Can this box be removed easily? I know that they burn you for a...

Where is a good place to buy this unit and is it waterproof?

I found them at Bike Johnnys and Wild Hair. Is that the only two options?

that is burning a hole in my pocket. I am planning to add a few goodies to my FJR. 1) Sliders - I want the "no cut the fairing" type. What brand.model should I get and where to buy them. 2) Power outlets - I want some sort of power distro setup that will give me several 12 volt taps (one that...
