    Ductility of FJR Rims

    Bent the rear rim on my '07 FJR. It appears to be holding some air as I made it the rest of the day without noticing, but the tire lost air while sitting for a day and I didn't bother to check the pressures before I left. Now sitting at the side of the road pondering my options. Anyone have any...

    Sleeping pad recommendation for camping?

    Double Air Mattress when taking a trailer and pillion with me. Self-inflating sleeping pad when solo. While the double mattress doesn't take up much more space than the pad, it isn't insulated, it is heavy, and takes more time/effort to set up and tear down. I'm liking the idea of the cot...

    Who has a Corbin seat?

    I'm thinking that is the demographic that the Corbin works for, cuz it doesn't work for me. I'm 6'3" and 190#. Comfortable enough on first saddling up, but on the road it slides me forward into the tank. Not a happy Corbin owner. Look for my seat in the "For Sale" forum soon. My experience is...

    Fuse Blocks

    I had a Fuzeblock mounted at the tail under the rear seat. Switched power signal from tail light. New bike came with a Blue Sea fuse block also under the rear seat, but holy crap is it big! It'll be replaced with the 'Fuzeblock". It makes for a very clean install without much space required. In...

    Nolan 104

    Interesting... I bought a N104 sight unseen based on some reviews. Turns out it's probably a little too small and round. The Neotec I had tried on fit me much better and had reasonable 'chin room' whereas the N104 is tight on the cheeks, tight on the chin, and the chin strap seems too far back...

    My new Shad SH50 Installed

    Same as mine! Love the Case, but my cover never did arrive. :-( Likely get the same on the rebuild.

    Canada source for tires (shipping from US or Canada)?

    Pretty late to this party, but... I like to keep a set on the rack in the stable so I buy a set or 2 each year at a Sale at GW each April. Walt Healy also has an annual spring sale. Pete's is my fallback.

    Exhaust Cover

    Those DRC guards are nice, but at $25 each, I'm not sure the extra bucks could not be put to better use. Adding info on both to my PK files (cuz I know I won't find this thread again when I need to. :rolleyes: ) Thanks for the info!

    Cheap Voltmeter

    I have this one too and it's been working fine dangling form the bike in the garage. Just never got around to installing it yet! However, it appears that it may not be available anymore since cyclemaxohio.com has become cyclemax.com. You'd probably have to call them to confirm.

    Another fan of the wooden bead seatpad

    :rofl: I was gonna post almost the same thing. I tried one, hated it... and rationalized that my skinny ass the difference between those that love it and me.

    Rear fender extender

    Wow... A little pricey when you add up membership, the part, shipping and $$ exchange. Staples is looking better and better!

    Gauge faces

    Hmmm... when I look, I can find the FJR Gen I guage plates here, but not Gen II. :( I would really like a speedo with Kmph as the primary scale and Mph as a secondary scale, but I guess Canadians that often ride to the states is a pretty small market.

    Tach and Speedo Overlays

    No exactly sure what you are specifically looking for, but I have it on my to-do list to create overlays to add imperial speeds to my metric speedo. What'd you have in mind for an overlay? I am considering a transparent overlay on the outer glass but would prefer putting it on the guage face...

    A useful farkle for motorcyclists traveling armed

    Hey guys... ...nah, forget it! :P But seriously, are these cases watertight at all? Could make a good secure tail box permanently mounted to the bike (behind the plate) for other valuables.

    Tapp USB

    Did you find that same one or just something like it? Can you post a SKU? After a quick look, all I found was this: Looks like it would be an easy panel mount and is only $9.99, :) but no specs are given. :(

    Pet Trailer

    That is really close to what I was planning to build for my dog prior to my having to put her down :'( I haven't found a new 'best friend' yet and am putting it off to enjoy the freedom of not having to make arrangements when I head out on overnight trips. I'm sure there'll come a day when I...

    Gel Seat

    I have the Yami Gel seat and, for me, it's all I need for 1000+ km days and IMHO, way better than the day-long for day to day scoots around town. You're welcome to give mine a try if you like. We could meet in Fernie for a mid-day ride and still make it home for dinner! (PM me.)

    Which bar riser plate?

    Personal experience proves otherwise!

    OEM Gel Seat & Touring Windshield

    I picked up a used OEM Gel Seat to bridge the gap between the stock seat and a custom seat. I initially thought it was hard but it felt better as the rides got longer. The gel must have some thermal properties or something because I always find it hard a first and on short trips, but definitely...
