    Mixing Michelin Road 6 GT and 4 GT?

    You'll void the warranty, suffer a 2 mpg hit, 5 wheel horsepower loss, and a puppy will die. Of course everybody knows the only true correct mixture is a 4 GT on the rear and 5 non GT on the front with 2 less psi than usual. What oil are you using? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hitch manufacturers???

    Did you try searching on "hitch" to see the many discussion on the subject already? I'll spot you one: =1&c[nodes][0]=57&o=relevance']Hitches on FJRForum.com

    Question - 2013 A - Left hand storage box hole in bottom cover or plug?

    You got it! Some people have used that grommet (often with a slice out of it) to feed a cell phone charging cable out the bottom of the box and then up through the fairing to their cell phone somewhere on the handlebars or tank bag.

    Wiring for Trickle Charger and Auxiliary Power

    Pretty basic. Get an SAE plug that something like a battery tender uses and wire to the two leads of the battery that's under the right side of the fairing. If you want to run the line to under the seat, you could. Most just leave a little length hanging. I'd look a the various mode pages at...

    Aux Fusebox location

    As with all these myriad custom solutions, it depends on you doing the fitting, fiddling, coaxing and hopefully not forcing. Does the 2020 electronics box take up the whole space? Are the dimensions of your particular fuse block smaller than that space including the option to run wires...

    Windscreen shimming

    Oops. I meant to say V-Stream. N20308 was right for me and the N20309 was floppy.

    Windscreen shimming

    I don't think shimming a stock shield is going to get a person that's 6'2" what you likely want. Even if you grab another partial inch with shimming, your shoulders will still be out. I'm 6' 3" and tried Cee Bailyey's, Calsci, and found the Rifle +2 to be the right amount of coverage, but the...

    Yamaha FJR Pannier Loose Solution

    Look at the links Rosskean posted two post above for the best answer available....which is that we don't have record of somebody doing it before. If you try, let us know!

    Shopping for Seats

    The ending first: Get a Russell Day Long. Otherwise, I did what you talked about with a seat pad first and it helped a tiny bit. I tried a Rick Mayer custom, it was better yet, but sent it back twice, and it never got to be what I needed. Then I got a Russell and all was well. You can sit...

    Givi

    I'm not aware of any Givi that fits the stock tail piece directly. You either need to add a plate on top or swap out the piece with a different Givi-compatible rack. Try searching on "SR 357" to see threads about the optional plate. If you want to mount directly to stock tail piece you're...

    TIRES?? What tires are everyone running on their FJR?

    I liked the round ones.... And I like my signature line with search suggestions since NEPRT is toast....what kind of oil does everybody use in combination with their favorite tires?

    2006 Bulb Types

    Yep! And good for you for finding it. This forum is a deep resource when people put in even a bit of searching. ;)

    Scraping Highway Pegs

    I did that with a set of lowering pegs and made them and scrape a couple of times. They'd scrape before I got to the highway pegs. I'm not a big leaner and both times scared the shit out of me, but no splat. The pegs *should* fold up if there's sufficient force. Not much you can do, highway...

    what would you have to do to put cruise control on 2012 from a newer bike

    Reverse engineer every detail in the computer and components that Yamaha fundamentally redesigned in the Gen 3 2013 bike and either customize or manufacture, install, and troubleshoot the necessary parts and code. or Buy a 2013 and, print a label "2012", and tack it on the nose. I'll let you...

    Seat options

    Don't dither like I did trying a seat pad, an aftermarket seat, and then a cut-rate custom seat....when I should have gotten a truly custom seat at the beginning. Get a truly custom Russell Day Long fitted from them for you.

    Gerauld Highway Pegs

    It's not that difficult. YOU need to send him a PM (aka a personal message) by going on his profile and choosing Start a Conversation. Don't presume he'll come to this thread and see your post.

    Gen2 headlight adjusters stripped

    I agree with Panman. Have you taken it apart and confirmed what has actually stripped?
