    switch for driving lights

    I have an 08 FJR. I'm going to wire driving lights (Hellas) that I have on the Garauld brackets I bough a couple of years ago. What are my options for the switch that turns the driving light on/off? thanks

    non-bungee cargo net

    I need a little cargo net for strapping light things to the seat, rack, top of my bald head, etc. I'm aware of the dangers of bungee cords, though I think the ones with small hook and cord minimize this danger. So I'm looking for a cargo net, bike sized, that doesn't use bungees but instead...

    carrying extra fuel

    I'm not advocating this, but I thought I'd mentioned that I ran across this source for fuel bladders - JustGasTanks They are the American distributor for bladders from Liquid Containment, an Australian company. I have no connection with either of these companies.

    calsci vs. cee bailey

    I have a CalSci and a Cee Bailey flip, I thought a comparison might be useful. Me: 5'10.5" 210 lbs of fighting flab a little longer than average from butt to shoulders (based on how clothes fit) so I think I'm about 5'11" when it comes to height on the seat I mostly sit far forward on the...

    audiovox install kit

    I'd like to put in this cruise control but I'm intimidate by the complexity, to say the least. So here's an idea - someone that has this all figured out should become a dealer for the AVCC, make up a kit of all the parts needed for a clean install and a good set of instructions with photos at...

    A, B, C and D panels

    I've seen several posters refer to the A, B, C and D panels. I'm pretty sure these are the interior panels that make up the left, center (2 panels) and right "dash". But which is which and where did the letters come from?

    ? about wiring diagram and Hella light install

    Trying to do the Hellas with double pole double throw switch and fuzeblock install and I'm an electric idiot. Can someone explain a few things? On the wiring diagram below, on the right side, there is a box labeled "hella ff50 driving lights" and that's what I don't understand. 1) there are...

    not enough room on the battery connections

    So I've got the following on my 08 FJR. 1) stock battery connections 2) FJRandy horn harness 3) 12 gauge wire and ring connectors to my fuze block And I can't get the battery screws to thread into the captured nuts on the battery. It's actually long enough, barely, but I can't get everything...

    rumble in my helmet

    Last summer I put a Cal Sci Large on my 08 FJR. I am 5'10", sit at the front of the seat but sit very upright (back problems) so my wind profile is probably more like that of someone that is 5'11". I'm wearing an HJC helmet and foam ear plugs. I like everything about the CalSci except - when...

    Putting it away for the winter

    Here in the mountains of Colorado the riding season is just about over until next April. My bike will stay in the garage, but that will get around 0 (yes zero or perhaps a bit less). I plan to: 1) wash it carefully 2) drain gas 3) periodically put the battery on a low amp charger I...

    I'm designing a luggage bag for the FJR

    Admin - if this violates the rules of the forum, please delete or move as required, and please accept my apologies. To all - hello, this is Dan from Dirt-Bike-Gear.com. I've been making soft luggage for dirt bikers for 7 years now and am looking to move into street bikes in a small way. In the...

    do you rely on your soft luggage to be completely waterproof?

    I'm making a custom bag to fit my seat and my Garauld rack. I can make it of typical Cordura, which will be water resistant but will doubtless leak in heavy rain. Or I can make it of Cordura and line it with a waterproof liner, but this would take longer and be more expensive. It got me...

    No-Mar alternative

    There's no way I'm popping for a No-Mar, even if it is a great product, which I'm sure it is. Is there are cheaper alternative...besides doing it with tire irons on the garage floor? EDIT: I found cheaper alternatives, but has anyone tried any of these? Thx

    When you need a tow...

    1) Will most towing companies pick you up? 2) Do the drivers seem to know what they're doing? 3) How does the bike get up on the truck bed? 4) How do they anchor the bike? Straps, wheel chock, ...? Thx

    stuff you always have with you and where do you keep it?

    I'm a dirt bike rider in the CO mountains and there are some things that are permanently on my bike for every ride. Here's a description: DBG tool recommendations I realize that the needs of a street biker are very different, but surely there are things that any well prepared FJR rider should...

    hella ff50 - driving or fog lights

    I'm adding FF50s to my bike using Garauld's brackets. They seem to represent a good balance of performance and price. But do I want driving or fog lights? Some info: - I live in CO mountains so deer are a very large danger here. - I am not much concerned with being seen by other drivers...
