    Fenda-Extenda Question

    When some of you people talk about 'taking off the double sided tape', do you mean revoving the tape entirely, or just removing the paper backing so that it's now in sticky mode?

    Towing Insurance For Motorcycles

    I signed up with KOA Roadhelp, which is actually a re-badged Allstate service. Read all about it at https://www.koa.com/rvroadhelp/. I had researched a bunch of different services, and while on the spendy side of the spectrum, I felt KOA had very good benefits with less restrictions than the...

    What kind of lift?

    I drilled one hole in each of the two ceiling joists above the bike in the garage (theyr'e exposed....no sheetrock). Through the hole I bolted the beefiest eyebolts they had at Home Depot. I then run 2 tie-down straps down to the bike to hold it up. But I like the twowheelnut wood chunk.

    listening to the radio

    Depends on the state I guess. The NY law says "Any 1985 or newer motorcycle must be equipped with directional or turn signals. Any motorcycle which was originally equipped with such signals, or to which such signals have been added, must have them inspected. Turn signals must show amber to the...

    what's the best tankbag?

    So Dirttrakr30, does that make the selection any easier? 15 different posters reply, and we've got recomendations for 12 different brands, and one anti-recomendation. LOL

    any unused wires available?

    Thanks for the great replies. Since I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible in antication of getting my FJR,I've seen some of these pages already, including FJRTech.com. But seeing all that stuff in random order is a bit overwhelming, and the significance of what I see is sometimes...

    Throttlemeister Install?

    In a few months I plan on flying 3000 miles away, picking up an FJR, installing a throttlemeister, and riding 3000 miles back. The thing is, I may not keep this bike when I get back, so I want to revert the bike to stock. After reading about all this insert pulling and what not, I'm wondering...

    Bolt size for unused left mirror hole

    Look at the 6th & 7th pics at https://www.fjr1300.info/mods/gps.html True, but my experience is that the Quest is near useless in daylight unless the sun is in the perfect position or if the backlight is on. If you use the backlight, the battery charge range is DRASTICALLY reduced. IMO, a...

    Reflective decals

    If for some reason I were so inclined to remove the stickers, how do they come off? Like if part of it get's damaged or nicked, and you just want to pull it off and go back to stock. I've once had a type of reflective sticker that pretty much bonded it self to the surface, and I'm afraid that...

    Bolt size for unused left mirror hole

    It can be done, but you'll have to booger up your car cradle. If you cut a slot in that teeny tiny torx screw, you can remove the unit with the contacts. That should fit in the unpowered RAM cradle. I know at least one person that has done this. Another approach is to take apart the 110v...
