One would make an excellent weight for salt water fishing tackle.

Sorry yours don't work, Mortenk. I've have a set on my 2015 since ... well, 2015 ... that have worked without issue.

Two points ... 1) If you don't ride at night, this is an expensive and time-consuming upgrade. Especially if you're adding auxiliary lights. 2) "Brights" leave a dark spot in the foreground? While true, this is insignificant when riding at night. When you ride through the darkness with...

Funny thing about roads? They don't move often. Ten-year-old maps are still pretty useful. If you're also relying on their Points of Interest features -- which I don't -- you probably already know that gas stations and restaurants go out of business, especially in rural areas.

Maybe I should go backwards with the technology, and replace my Sena model 20 units with Sena model 10 units.

Hope it works for you. I've got a Laam that was ever so comfy for four consecutive days of 800+ miles. If the discomfort is not actually in/on your ass, have you tried riser plates or pulling back your handlebars? There's a great old thread around here somewhere ... aaahhhh yes. Here it is...

^^^ I wear these now, too, dzane. Plugs come in a slick aluminum tube that attaches to the FJR key ring, so plugs are always available and convenient when mounting up!

Those videos are on dry level pavement. Wait until you drop your FJR on dirt or wet pavement, especially with the wheels uphill. Your attitude will change quickly. <edit, next day> Ask around. There are several FJR Forum members who have strained muscles/tendons/ligaments attempting...

Try moving the Sena speakers around inside your helmet's ear holes. If they are misaligned with your ear canal, even by a few millimeters, they aren't loud at all.

. Made me laugh, too. Of course they're for Harley riders! Especially those that need 45 feet of pavement to make a U-turn. <edit> The training wheels, not the MotoBike Jack. I could have used the Jack on a few of my FJR drops.

You can pair Senas by holding them close to each other and shaking them. No shit. (Except in Oregon, Ray.) ;-)

EXACTLY. (1) So, if you wear conventional earplugs you drop sound levels to your eardrum. By turning up the speaker volumes, you're listening to music LOUDER than ambient, but still lower than being unprotected. Unfortunately, I can't get my Sena speakers to be audible this way. (I'm sure...

Until this moment, I was unaware that the Sena in-helmet speakers could be removed without cutting wires. That changes things drastically! I've used both: listening to the low-fidelity Sena speakers through conventional earplugs; and wired earbuds plugged into the Sena headphone jack. The...

First, if you were in downtown Greensboro, you could easily have been so far into the sticks that you got no cell service. Second, when I start Google Maps, takes a bit of movement before it figures out where I am. Usually 20 feet or so will solve that, but it can mean occasional u-turns...

I don't "send" anything to my phone, but navigate by Google Maps all the time. Two ways ... 1) For rally riding, where you have to stop for a bonus photo at each waypoint: create your route in Google Maps / Your Places / Maps and make sure it saves. When you're ready to ride, pull up your...

What he said. GPS is sitting there, just below my view of the highway, and I can see, "In two miles, turn right onto Highway 420." I do miss the female English voice, however. Reminds me of the old and the new Mary Poppins. GPS is no longer connected precisely because of what you mentioned...

That's what we're talking about; the "tooth" side of the microphone should face AWAY from the person speaking.

Damn! That thing should also keep your bubble gum cigars from getting brittle! <seriously> Great job!

Some of you may know that my topbox has an “organizer” in it. I've enclosed the term in quotation marks because it’s a really homemade thing, created out of cut-up SlimJim boxes and duct tape. It holds wallet, house keys, pens, aspirin and ibuprofen, miniature LED flashlight, air pressure...
