    Stock Saddlebag Lock Questions

    You can make ANY lock cylinder work with your existing ignition key. Just get the cylinder out, put your ignition key into it, one or more tumblers will be sticking out. File them flush. Make sure they filed smooth and do not have burrs that hang them up. That's it, install (or re-install)...

    Exorcised rear fender - Why?

    That is why I want the quick install system. On during the wet season, off during the dry.

    Exorcised rear fender - Why?

    I cut the whole thing off in such a way that it gets put back on every winter. Only needs to move 6 bolts, 10 if you count installing the angles plate holder, 12 if you count the LED plate lights too. It gets taken off every summer and put away. I like it, it puts a lot more 'sport'...

    Can Farkles Void YES Extended Service Plan?

    That only voids the warranty if the farkel is a set of flags and the motorcycle is a Harley Davidson.

    Go for it... Don't tell her... See if she notices... If you get hospitalized in a spectacular fashion, post up. We will all console you and wish you a speedy recovery.

    New, in headlight, parking/running/euro lights

    I did have to remove the whole headlight housing. Yes, it was a huge pain in the butt. I had to drill two 7/8th (+/- 1/16 I don't remember) holes and there is a little point at the center that tries to throw off the bit. They are pretty bright but the cone is a full 90 degrees. Therefore...

    New, in headlight, parking/running/euro lights

    Thanks for all the positive replies I used these LED lights. The logic is built in. They are the correct size to fit just right. I fixed them into the 'sockets' with black silicon, enough to hold the plug to the light and the light into the socket but it can be removed by just grabbing and...

    New, in headlight, parking/running/euro lights

    OK, so ever since I noticed how the headlights were molded with these sockets set into the corner, I have been wanting to add a pair of lights into them. Wednesday, I finally did so. They are my new running lights, I soldered the park and turn into a single circuit when I converted the turn...

    FJR Taxi

    They are the germs you have. No need to worry.

    Converting Gen 2 AE to A engine - is it possible?

    My opinion is the dissenting one in this discussion. It seems to me that you could use the AE shift drum. Granted, this gives you an "all up" shift pattern but that just makes your FJR absolutely unique. At worst, it seems to me that your gear indicator would no longer function with the...

    Rear ended at light

    At that, wait 11 months and sue for a sore neck. If it is really sore or course, we would not want to advocate anything illegal here.

    Linch pin sidecase mod - really necessary?

    I bought used bags because my bike used used and did not come with bags. They had been in a major accident. The locking tab was funky and had probably skipped a tooth. I was not sure of this, it just felt odd. During one spirited crossing of an intersection near home I glanced in the rearview...

    Canada vs USA?

    Judging by the odometers, Canadian FJRs don't run well January through March.

    Blipping the Throttle

    OK, I actually can understand that. It breaks the clutch plates loose prior to dropping it into 1st. once they are loose, wait 1/2 a second and you avoid the clunk. 'Blip' a little slower and the knock will stop. No idea about the warning point. Though it could be the thred should have been...

    Blipping the Throttle

    You are probably opening the throttle to the 'wide open' position in a very small fraction of a second. So, on the very next intake stroke you have zero vacuum, causing instant engine knock. Your ears are not deceiving you, your engine is knocking. If you were to do the same thing at the same...

    My First Track Day...

    ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! Someday, when I have money, time and tires I will do the same... (dream dream dream) How much did it cost if I may ask?
