I've performed the second valve clearance check on my 05 with 54kmi on the clock. Six valves have tightened (5 exhaust & 1 intake) since the first check at 28k which required no adjustment. Two exhaust valves are now at the bottom end of spec (.18mm) and one intake (.15mm) so two intakes are now...

I've been eyin' the MotoFizz Camping Seat Bag as replacement to my trusty but awkward duffel bag to hold my camping gear and other sh....stuff on longer trips. The pics on the site and in the review do not show the underside of the bag which I wanna to see to get a better idea for how it will...

There's no mention of this in the manual, but the only way to switch between the hard and soft settings on my 05 is to put the bike up on the centerstand. When on the sidestand or with me on the bike, it won't quite go. It feels as if it just might go if I push harder, but this at the point...

I'm finding myself drawn to the Aerostich Roadcrafter for its chick-magnet styling and for the brutal winters we have here in California. For those that have one and are close to my dimensions (6.0', ~185lbs), does it fit in a FJR's saddlebag? I prefer leaving all my ridding gear in the bike...
