    Non-Lithium Battery Operated Wireless Intercomm?

    Here's my question: I would only use a wireless intercomm system once every few weeks/months so I'm looking for one that takes standard batteries (any size: AA AAA 9 volt or similar). Does such a thing exist? I can't find one so far. It would be even better if it had most of the modern...

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    Here's the info you need: "... adjust the handlebars according to line parallel to zero = original position and ....." meaning, that if you look at the pictures found in this topic, the line of the unit closest to the thin black lines can be set parallel and that's the "original" position...

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    Just my two cents to add: 1. I ordered direct - it really only took three days to get to Alabama from Germany! 2. Total cost about 237$ 3. Local bank stopped my credit card due to "unusual" buying pattern! Let your bank know that you're really ordering from Germany via the internet to avoid a...

    GPS mounting suggestions

    Just as another point of data, I've been using a Garmin Nuvi 205W that is NOT a motorcycle specific one. Comparing the cost of this one ($150) versus a Zumo ($500+?) it was not hard to try it out. It has worked flawlessly for over a year so far with one exception: when I screwed around with...

    How to Wire A Bel Radar Detector

    Thanks guys! I'll try some other wires and see if I can find one with a more substantial internal wiring. That's probably all I need - the ones in my current cable (no pun intended) are just so stinking small and braided with no internal strength. When I tried to burn off the fibrous stuff with...

    How to Wire A Bel Radar Detector

    OK - I finally bought a radar detector and I'm trying to wire it into my FJR. It's a Beltronics and uses a phone-type connection for a power source. There are only two wires necessary to power the unit, a ground and a +12 volt. The problem I'm having is that those wires are TINY! I can take the...

    Oil Pressure Problem

    Thanks for the quick answers!! I didn't realize it was a level sensor. I was just surprised as I've never had it come on before and I was worried that a major problem was in the works. I did wait about 5 minutes before adding the little extra oil as I realized it would still be draining and...

    Oil Pressure Problem

    Today for the first time ever, the red oil light came on. I had just left work for lunch and was driving down the interstate when the oil pressure light came on for about 15 seconds or so. I was preparing to pull over and stop when it went out. So I kept on going to the nearest gas station and...

    Ventilation Plastic Removal

    I'm trying to remove the side vent plastic and I'm not sure about whether I can actually pull the vent off after removing the two screws that control the in/out position. I realize there are two slotted tangs that the vent plastic inserts into but when I try to pull gently apart, it won't come...

    Need Help with GPS

    I've found that the Garmin Nuvi 205W is all that I need. It's muted cause I don't want to hear it - just see what I need when rambling out in the country. It's got a nice set of trip data including a max speed :) ! You can download screenshots to your computer, you can get POI's like all the...

    yamaha touring windshield gen II

    Jeff, I have an almost brand new CalSci Large windshield for sale - $100 shipped. I thought the OEM was too small, bought this one brand new, but thought I might like the Extra Large size better. Someone offered me an Extra large and I do like it better so my Large one is for sale. This was on...

    Run, Brake, Turn Controller Install

    Here are some photos of the install I did on my 06 FJR. Wiring diagrams can be found on this and other technical sites so I haven't detailed that aspect of the install. I'm just showing you one idea of how and what you can do. I'm really pleased with this farkle - it definitely keeps people...

    Windshield Question

    I just bought the Large for my 2006 FJR. For me, at 5'11", it's a LOT better than stock. I still might have gone with the XL as I really like being able to sit up straight and still look through the lower 1 inch of the windshield in the fully up position. With the Large, I'm looking just over...
