    PNW Spring 2010 - Tech Meet

    hperkins would like to come. I'd love to learn how to remove my farings. I have rebuild carbs, and installed full exhaust system on a naked, but I cannot figure out how to get all of this fershlugginer plastic off

    OK you twisty hotdogs

    Those of you who have got your peg down, how do you do it? I know how to lean, but when I get good lean on my little toe drags before the peg touches. I know that there is more lean to be had on this bike cause I've never felt the least loss of traction or control at that kind of lean. What...

    Need Help with Hardwiring

    I would like to see that. I have my GPS wired unswitched (but fused) off of the battery. I would rather it lose power when I took the key out. I am interested in what components you ordered hand which circuit you used to relay off of the switch. Thanks.

    Can you see me now? (Mirrors on my 07)

    I'd like to apologize to the forum. After looking through my garage for the mirrors I can only conclude that I must have thrown them out. I honestly thought I still had them but, truth be told, they were as valuable to me as kindling. They probably got culled in my last dump run. I promise...

    Can you see me now? (Mirrors on my 07)

    Sorry, they are gone now. But if you go to https://yamahafz1oa.com (this is the FZ1 users group) you could probably pick a set up cheap. Not as cheap as mine but better than elsewhere. It is one of the earliest mods done on an FZ1. You think the view of your elbows is good on the FJR, they...

    Can you see me now? (Mirrors on my 07)

    I agree. The FJR mirrirs are a huge improvement over the view that stock FZ1 mirrors had. They just sucked. I replaced mine with custom mounted Majesty mirrors. I still have the original FZ1 mirrors if someone wants them. Just send me shipping costs and you can have them. There is probably...

    GPS ?

    That is perfect. Thanks so much. I have been GPS-less since I switched from the FZ1 to the FJR.

    GPS ?

    That looks like a Ram-Mount ball on the stem bolt. Where did you get that? I looked at the Ram mount web site and they don't appear to have such a thing. That solution looks ideal to me. Buggered that. I meant that 85Turbo's setup looked like a ram mount on the stem bolt. Anybody know...

    Picked up my 07 FJR yesterday and have a couple of questions

    Is this before you hit the starter switch? There is a noise when you turn on the key. I think that is the fuel pump pressurizing the system. I would describe that sound as a little like a whine.

    What did you ride pre-FJR

    That is something I always wanted to do. Build my own bike. The only problem is that after I am done I have a chopper. What's it like to ride one of those things. Is it as much a pain as it looks? Was there any fabrication work that you needed to do, or were all the parts ready to bolt...

    The FJR as a sportbike

    That same dude did an Iron Butt on the Dragon (back and forth, back and forth) on his goldwing last spring. It's humbling. Sorry, I see that bvail already covered this better.
