    no...I tip my toes outwards a bit.

    fixing my bike

    This is more than normal....I can feel it when I push the bike...there is a spot where they grab a fair bit.

    cockpit comfort

    I am 6'4" and my bike is stock except for some bar risers....No back pain at all but my hip joints get sore after about 2 hours. I find I use the rear pegs for about 20 mins per hour...just to change the riding position...helps a lot.

    fixing my bike

    So I installed my new forks yesterday and reinstalled the front wheel and brakes....When I spin the front wheel the brakes are dragging. I will pull the brakes back off and check to see if the wheel is spinning smoothly then check the front rotors. Not sure if I have a bad front axle or bad...

    getting it right the first time

    At least you have some of your wires labeled!!! It would be a nightmare for the next owner of your bike to troubleshoot. (or even you)

    How do you precisely measure engine vacuum?

    I had a cheap vacuum gauge that bounced....one day it broke so I bought a Snap-on.....rock steady. My lesson learned....buy good quality tools and you will find that it is cheaper in the long run.

    I think I'm maxed out, electrically speaking....

    I also use the Blue Sea fuse box....works so well. My fuse box is mounted under the seat in the tool space (tool kit moved to the tail space). I run one wire from the + side of the battery to a 30 amp relay and then to the fuse box. I take a "key on" power from my old horn wire (I have the mag...

    Installing Fuse Box

    I bought 3 ft of that Napa asphalt loom at the local Napa store and it was around $12. I ran my power wires down the right side of the tank and put them inside the loom.....works well.

    Think I beat the Audiovox CC gremlin

    Can I get the part numbers for the single port and the dual port check valve? I stopped by Napa this weekend and got a blank look when I asked for a check valve....seems you need a car make/model before they can look up any parts.

    Surge at idle when warm

    Thanks guys.....I will buy a check valve and see if that fixes things before I go crazy looking for something else.

    Surge at idle when warm

    So I installed my Audiovox CC system. I used a vacuum reservoir as suggested in the install guide on the internet for FJRs. I purchased the 1 way check valve for the vacuum line going to the CC unit and reservoir but I got the wrong size (doesn't fit inside my vacuum hose). I ended up just...

    Broke the throttle stop

    I reread your prior post......sorry it was too vague for me to understand that you wanted a PM.

    Broke the throttle stop

    Just an update for those following (laughing at me) the thread. I tried to take the broken plate off (it is the wheel that the throtle cables connect to) but there is no room to remove the plate with the throtle bodies on the bike (it hits the linkage on the throtle bodies for cylinders 1&2). I...

    Broke the throttle stop

    So I go to bend the tab to clear the throtle cable it it snapped off. Now I have to pull the cables off and buy a new part....no riding for me for awhile. Can this part be ordered by itself? I see that the peice is attached to the throtle bodies by a 10 mm nut.....

    Hard Wired Garage Door Opener

    Looking for some options on hard wiring in my Sears Craftsman mini garage door remote. I drilled and mounted a push button switch on the left dash panel. I soldered the switch wires to the remote's circuit board (where the origianl switch was mounted). My question is about the power. The...

    Audiovox Install

    Just installing my CC tonight. All going well except after I drilled the tab for the little chain to attach to......With the bolt in and the nut tighten down it hits the throtle cable when you have about 3/4 gas on.....Did you guys have to bent the tab more towards the left of the bike? This...
