    Broken License plate bracket

    My license plate bracket just broke. Not a big deal, but it's costing me $50 to replace it. Actually found it online for $33. Still seemed a lot for my easy solutioin 4 years ago. When the bike was new I put one helmet lock on the right side of my license plate bracket. You can see the...

    Not Making It This Year Stuck In Colorado

    I put it on the schedule and then I went and rode to California in July. I wanted to ride from Virginia Beach to San Fransisco on 2 lane roads. The trip out was great. I left the bike in CA and flew home to work. I thought I'd get back and make the trip to Nafo on the way home. I would have...

    Adam's Wax Detail Spray from last EOM

    Adam was nice enough to donate 150 mini spray bottles of his detail spray last year. I use the detail spray as well as the other detail items he makes on my bike all year. www.adamspolishes.com It would be good to hear from anyone else that has used the product and how many people actually...

    Touring Riding Books What are good ones?

    I'm looking for suggestions as to good books on touring or skill improvement while riding. Two of my cousins have asked what I want for Christmas and besides more riding time I'm guessing it should be reading riding time. I've read Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough have not read yet...

    Engine Warning light

    I was riding to Savannah from Virginia Beach two weeks ago. I left early, it was still dark. About a third of the way there - too far to turn back to the garage for a check - the engine light went on. I was on two lane doing 55 -65 and it was 57 degrees on flat roads and running smooth. Not...

    Rear ended what damage should I look for

    Happy 4th! well it started out that way. I was stopped at a traffic light, there were three cars in front of me and two had stopped behind me. When the light changed I put the bike in gear and just started to go when the bike jumped and it was two feet in front of me. I was standing up behind...

    PCiii and gas milage

    I installed the PC III and really liked the way it made the throttle responce smooth out. I also installed the throttle tube with the variable cam. The throttle cam makes it a little smoother when starting out. I noticed the gas milage with the PC III installed has increased my mpg. This is...

    Looking for a video camera for the FJR

    I borrowed a video camera and used a mount on the brake braket to shoot some video. It was pretty good, but told me a few things. Editing the video is a lot more work than taking the video. And one twisty looks like the next after hours of looking at video. However, it is a great way to...

    CalSi Windshields calsci.com

    I bought a tall CalSi windshield for my 07 last month. I followed the directions on the site to determine the size I should purchase. The goal was to get a quiet ride. I had an 05 with the tall Yamaha shield but it did not produce a totally quiet ride. I could lean foward and get behind the...
