    any unused wires available?

    Are there convenient, unused, power sources to be found in an FJR? The reason I ask is because my Bandit has 2 live wires that just sit there, completely unused, waiting for a farkle to be attached. One is in the front cowling, meant for the "city light" that american bikes don't have, and the...

    Throttlemeister

    Throttlemeisters are great. I havent' even gotten my FJR yet, but I've got the adapter kit to move my TM over first thing.

    California Sport Touring?

    This is all very interesting, because I've always had a good shopping experience with CAST and have recommended them to friends and listmates. My most recent order was placed 12/27/05 and I've received all items in good order by 1/5/05. And this is a cross country, CA to NY order. Helmut was...

    what's the best tankbag?

    I've been partial to Chase Harper products. When I bought my magnetic Chase Harper bag, I was impressed with their warranty. They said: To me, "accidental damage" means crash damage, as well as idiot damage... both of which I'm capable of. Thankfully I haven't had any need to test their...

    Re-keying Givi top box

    Found it! Here's the key in comparison to it's fully clothed sibling. And here it is in an overlay. I feel I should add that it appears I shaved a bit of material off the circumfrence of the key. i don't think it was to make it smaller, but rather because it may have been sharp. But at...

    Re-keying Givi top box

    I've done this. But now the key is so small without the red locator beacon that I can't find the darn thing. If it turns up, I'll post a picture.

    Pashnit Goes Commercial

    IIRC, the site text sounded to me like it was more of a hobby of sorts. If it's too much work, I'm sure there's plenty of other people who would be willing to pick up where he left off. But it's his site and he can do whatever he wants. I live on the right coast, but I sometimes read his site...

    Bike to Bike Radio

    I'm all about PTT. Everytime I ride with someone who has VOX, it's always some sort of problem. Usually it's the wind activates the vox and leaves the channel open, or it doesnt activate reliably. As for myself, I like to sing and talk to myself while riding. The rest of the world doesn't...

    Garmin Quest questions

    I have a Quest I, as do most of my riding buddies. I love it, but as was pointed out, you can't do a cross country on one mapset. It also has limited tracklog memory. The Quest II is a nice bet. The big complaint with it was that Garmin was not supplying any software since it's all pre...

    Whats The secret to cold wet weather clear vision.

    I've heard that smearing and wiping some shaving cream on the inside of the visor works quite well. I've never tried it though.... I keep forgetting to do so.
