    OK, Looks like I'll be there. Looking forward to it!

    Heated Grips

    I tried a pair of those under the KOSO brand, and no, they absolutely don't fit an FJR. Too short, and not enough diameter. So, I've got a set of the Dual Star heat tapes I'm going to put on. I'll probably be able to go ahead and take a few photos and do a short write up on the process.

    headlight

    Good stuff here! Got my right bulb changed blind and left handed with panels A and C off, using the Yamaha manual in about 90 minutes. Didn't even have to remove any panels after using the tips in Patriots write up above to do the left in five minutes. This is the first and only set of...

    Introductions

    Good Evening! My name is Cameron Brister, aka Left Base. I've ridden in one or two events a year, including a couple of SS 1000 and BB 1500 cert rides to get my feet wet, a BB 1500 with the Ride for the Heart Foundation Rally, the Utah 1088 in 2008, the Nevada 1099 and Cal 24 in 2009, and I'm...

    Where's the duct tape? I didn't know redneck technology could work without it...

    Well, this'll be my first IBR. Guess it's time to replace that stock seat.

    Windshield comparo

    I've had good experience with a DeeBailey. I'm 6'1, the stock was too short to block the wind effectively. I'm happy with the bailey.

    Volcano Ride 2009

    Hey, blufjr & others, I'd be up for the 3rd weekend in Sep as well. Don't think I've met any of you, My wife, FJR and I have been in the Northwest in Astoria for the last couple of years... Please let me know as well!

    Nevada 1099 Ride Report

    Saturday morning, early, nobody stirring but the 20 or so of us involved in the rally. Everybody’s got a different strategy, everybody has different strengths to rely on and weakness (I refuse to use human potential babble and call weaknesses “opportunities”) to avoid. Me, I’ve seen myself...

    PNW SPring Tech Meet

    Valentine 1 Mounting

    Yeah, I need to be prepared for severe enough conditions- I do ride in a couple of rally's a year, and make for the relatives' homes in the Bay Area in CA a few times each summer. So, I've got some of the same concerns you do. I think you and I talked at the Utah 1088 last year. I sure would...

    Valentine 1 Mounting

    Thanks for all the good advice, though I suspect LDRyder and Patriot just like to show off... I had no idea that this thing can't get wet, but a call to the mfg confirmed it. Sounds like a prominent warning in the manual would have saved some of us some trouble. So, I'm trying to get in...

    Valentine 1 Mounting

    Good Morning! Just had a shiny new V1 delivered yesterday. Reading the literature, it looks like the best place for it will be a velcro mount on the clutch fluid reservoir. How does this work for you other V1 users? I'm a little concerned that the rear facing radar antenna and laser detector...

    Fuseblock install party?

    Good Morning, Weather and other circumstances permitting, I'd like to come up and join you folks. I just installed an autocom with a BT dongle, Jensen HD910 stereo and have a Valentine One going on this weekend. I used the power for the storage compartment solenoid to fire the main relay...

    Possibility Stereo for my Bike

    Bob, What did you settle on for an antenna? I just got my Jensen today and the Techmount should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get it set up! Cameron
