    Hey, I'm a true "redneck"...

    So I just turned 50 and my doctor says that I am going to need a few tests. So my first stop is the dermatologist for a strip and look see. I got good grades from the neck down but from the neck up I got something in a tube that I put on from the neck up every night. This stuff keeps skin cancer...

    Cee Bailey Reverse Contour Flip Windshield

    I recently bought and put some miles on the Cee Bailey reverse contour flip windshield and I love it. The one that I purchased was the +6" taller and +4" wider than stock. It runs straight up on the sides about an inch inside of the fairing width. The height is right for me as it is lowest at a...

    New ECU tomorrow

    Even though I live in Florida I signed up for the ECU recall right away hoping to get a new unit since I do not believe for a moment that they will not reprogram and reuse the ones that they get back. Probably would not matter but I have this brand new bike and the thought of a "used" ECU in...

    Football is fixed

    So the Patriots are ahead by 4 points right now and these are my two favorite teams but there is no doubt in my mind that the officials called this game one way. With 8 minutes to go the Patriots set a team record for penalty yards, most of them on pass interference resulting in game changing...

    Genmar Riser Blocks

    I had some PM's about my Genmar install and how I like them. Thought I should wait a few days till I put a weekend on them and I did so here it is. Look good, I saw pictures before I put them on and thought that they would stick out a bit but I was wrong, they blend in fine and do not stick...

    Any chance you can increase the text size?

    Hoping that the tech person for the site can switch the font size up a notch so that I can read it. I wear glasses but they dial in for 12-14 inches and the monitor is 20-22 inches away and it's a bear to read it. Thanks a lot if you can do it, Bob.

    So I cut my windshield down really low...

    I bought a Yamaha Touring windshield for my 07 and found it a big improvement over the stock screen. I wanted to know just how different it was with my new Shoei X11 so I put the stock windshield back on the bike and went for a ride. It was much worse than the touring windshield for helmet noise...

    What is the fun factor of the VFR vs other bikes?

    If I new how to delete this I would... Hey, I screwed up the title line because I have both bikes in my garage, it should read "FJR" not VFR.

    Why is nothing wrong with my bike?

    So I know that I am a lucky guy because I read the posts with the problems but why is it that I don't have any? Is the other shoe going to drop? Or am I a lucky guy with a reengineered bike? BTW I love this bike and I am going to keep it even if I buy other bikes in the future, it's a fun bike!

    What's in your tool kit?

    I am carrying the stock tool kit plus a 1/4" drive ratchet with 8, 10,12 and 14mm sockets as well as a couple of hex keys that I felt were left out so I now have 3, 4, 5 and 6mm's. I also carry duck tape and a box cutter. What are you carrying?

    Any good ideas for a labor day weekend ride in So GA?

    My wife Jeannette and I are looking to get out of town over labor day weekend. We live in Central Florida and would like to ride a little into and around South Georgia, not the same hotel each night either. I like to ride up on 441 but any similar state road would be fine. Any ideas for us on...

    Locksmith Re-Keyed Standard Helmet Guardian Lock.

    I read through Fred H.'s post about rekeying the lock on a helmet guardian and new that I had to do it that way myself too. Jeannette's VFR has a Helmet Guardian that I put on it and it was to wide to fit correctly so I cut off about an inch and a half and one of the locks when I installed it...

    Help! Headlights and tail lights out... not the fuse.

    I need help please. I was installing my Autocom, Zumo and Kenwood GMRS radio on my new 2007 fjr. I use a relay to power them and was looking for the running light wire on the right rear tail light bulb with a volt meter to touch each of the two contacts (running light and brake) and I must have...
