I am also considering going back to a stock clamp. Anybody know the size/pitch of the ignition cyl bolts that get destroyed in the removal process? I bought my bike with the Heli installed and have no info. Thanks!

What's up with the Audiovox? I have one on my 06, the engine RPM wire came loose once at the tap connector, and it got some water in the control panel on a heavy rain, but otherwise it has functioned pefectly. :huh:

I agree with this too. I just got back from a 4k mile ride on my FJR. I took a long time, and didn't have many big mile days ( a couple 500+ miles). Even so, I found what these guys are saying to be true. I have a Russel seat and was glad of it on the long sections, not so much in the...

+1 on the track day! I took my 06 out at Grattan raceway in Michigan the end of June. It was a blast! Gives you chance to find some of your, and the machine's limits without the unwelcome issues that come with the street! Oh and it IS possible to eliminate unwanted chickie strips on a...

For the size of the "furry creatures with attitudes" he might have to deal with, I hope it's something explosive!

Mine is a Kahr MK40 in a DeSantis pocket holster. I normally keep it in right front pants pocket, on the bike it sometimes goes into my inside jacket pocket. Of course it is impossible to draw in that location. I generally tranfer it to my pants pocket if I go into an establishment. I also...

I like the BMW grips, may go that route. I also looked at a set of Tacki grips at the BMW dealer. I like the barrel shape. The rubber seems pretty thick and dense, will they transfer heat from the heated panels underneath? Also, they were closed end type. Is there any problem with simply...

Your install looks great BentAero! I ordered a set for my '06 and will install them as soon as I get my G2 throttle tube. The instructions say to put a high temp 2 part epoxy over the heater panels before installing the grips, did you do this? Is it necessary?

Are these the same grips that come on the K1200GT? What did you end up paying for the? My local Beemer dealer want about $50 total, does that sound right? They had a set of Grand Touring grips there, I think they are the Tacki's. They were $12.95 a pair. The seem kind of hard. I will look...

I bought a used 2006 FJR1300A a while back. The previous owner had a set of Kuryakyn grips on it (!). I didn't like them and removed them. The factory grips, bar ends and atachments are long gone. I put a set of Harris R1 grips on for the time being, but they are much shorter than the factory...

I think the MV looks better, but I woldn't turn either away!

As of yet I have owned neither of these bikes. However I volunter to do a looong term test of both bikes (actually just about any bikes). Just PM me and I will give you an address to send the machines to for evaluation! No charge, btw! :D

Hey scab! Glad to hear you are ok! Thanks for being honest about this whole experiance! It's something we ALL need to take into consideration.

Yes you are correct about the twistie deficientcy :(

Brazilian? yeooowch! (so I hear) Oh, the bike! :huh: Yeah, I knew that! really...

Wow, nice find! Changed my perspective on the one I found with 2k miles and a yammie trunk on it for $12k O.T.D.! Highlander, will you come to Florida and help me shop? :)

I am just glad you didn't slam a beer in your penis, I have nightmares about that! ;)

Well, don't keep us "hanging", what did ya do??? :o

Thanks, Lee! No the Leehater thing would not work well with my wife! Thanks for the bag confirmation!

Update: I did some important fact finding today! I was trying to make up my mind between two bikes: Buell Ulysses, or FJR. Yes, I know they are not exactly apples to apples! My thinking was this: I want a good handling, fun to ride bike that has factory hard bags, and comfortable passenger...
