OK... so Wednesday and four business days later, my baby is back! The clocksuckers charged me 4.5 hours of time total, $338/Can before taxes, for what? Diagnostics took two hours to determine that my ignition switch shorted out because I installed HID lights that pull "way too much amperage"...

OK... So I picked up the switch an hour ago - The service desk told me there was no continuity for one of the two wire harnesses... brought it my bro's place (he has more tools than I) and we removed the bottom plate where the wires and electrical components of the switch are. My 38000km bike...

Clocksucker? LOL I love it and may actually use that when I pick up my switch (or maybe I will wait for my ride to be in one peace, huh?). The service guy originally told me that I would have 2 keys when the new switch would be installed. If I cannot fix my "defective" switch you can be damn...

Fred W... thanks for the reply. I am not 100% certain about the readings that the tech gave me regarding the OEM versus HID bulb amp draw, but it was significant and similar to what I posted - go figure Chinese engineering (pst... their specs aren't always relaying reality LOL). As for the...

All... Sorry for the multiple posts. fjrob1300... thanks for the threads.

Hello all, I have searched and read many topics regarding ignition failures on FJRs, with many geared toward 2006-2007 GenII FJRs. I picked up my low mileage 38000kms (30,000 miles?) 2003 GenI FJR three weeks ago and have loved it since. Yesterday I rode and joined my brother for lunch. Upon...

Wow!!! Got mine relatively fast for delivery to Canada. Ripped open the package and had this installed in less than 20 minutes. Wonderful craftsmanship, service and price. Highly recommended for all FJR owners! Thank you Dave.

LOL... too true. Some of these old geezers have lights and trinkets that would make them be identified as UFOs if bikes could fly! Side note: Spoke to another police officer in another city today and asked the same question and his response was, “as long as it isn’t forward or backward facing...

Was at a Tim Hortons and saw a police officer drive in... Showed him a picture of my ride with the lights and asked the question if legal or not... Although he wasn't 100% sure, he said that if you can't see the blue lights from the front It should be fine... So I will ride with them and see if...

Dude... Seriously? I have seen many vehicals tricked out with all kinds of multicolor, flashing, dimming lights inside, outside, underneath, etc. There are limits and I think mine fall in the cool look category... Nothing overdone. Beside, I have never been a Tron fan... Original or remake...

Not sure as I have only been out twice at night so far, but I can tell you my GF loves it! She likes the bling factor. As for the coin... If you are handy and understand the basics of your bikes electronics, you can do this for approximately $50-$75 Canadian. What's that is US funds... $20-$30...

Thanks... I love the look. I am 49, and yes still a kid at heart... The only way to stay young, huh?

All... At this point in my life, I couldn't really care what the law says for something as unimportant as this. I believe the lights help the bike stand out at night and up the safety factor. I did install an On/Off switch in the dash though. ;-)

Thanks... The blue glow accents the silver perfectly. The install is pretty straightforward and I will try to find the video I followed and offer up the link soon. ;-)

Hello FJR enthusiasts... I got my 2003 FJR late March, gave it tons of TLC since, and added something that, IMHO, helps with the bike’s visibility, but is just plain damn cool!!! I added 4 small blue LED strips (2 in the front fairings and 2 under the seat) switched in the dash to have this...
