    4 years ago today....she landed in my laneway

    4 years ago today, I traded my M109R for the Feej.  35,000 miles and more farkles than I can easily count later, she's still a joy to ride. She's taken me from New Orleans to Pickle Lake, through the mountains in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, WV, Tennessee and the Carolinas. ...

    Horn 12v+ trigger-2008: which wire?

    No, no.  This isn't a "flashing, you can go ahead" , this is a "hey shithead, your pulling out in front of me" strobe.... More like emergency vehicles. My dual FIAMM blasters are staying there.

    Horn 12v+ trigger-2008: which wire?

    I'm looking to trigger a strobe module for my aux headlights with my horn button. I was reading that the horn may be ground switched?   Can anyone shed some light?  (pun intended)  I'm aware that it will probably not be legal, but I can live with that if I'm seen when I need to be.  Cheers?

    Mirror Mount Light Brackets

    Unfortunately, as far as I know, Wyn-Pro isn't making his amazing light brackets any more.   After my near miss with the moose last weekend, I am going to add some more lights to put even more lumens downrange. Anyone have any links for FJR specific brackets, other than the Denali ones? I...

    TY Sir, Does it matter which side I connect the actuator to?  MAN or AMP?

    Audiovox CCS-100 Canister?? (what is this thing?)

    This came with the audiovox CCS100 I bought second hand (new, uninstalled).  This part is not in the installation manual anywhere.    Is this just a secondary canister that I have seen other people create from a PVC/ABS?  Another pic here: Canister Top View Any help appreciated.

    2nd IBA SS1000 complete

    Yes, we have a Lake Superior ride planned for next year.  I plan on a Lake Huron ride too.   I'd love to do the whole GL circle tour but I am not sure I want to IB that one.  Would rather take a week and stop and see stuff.

    Thanks, I forgot to pack advil too, so by the end of the day, I was VERY sore...am no spring chicken.

    2nd IBA SS1000 complete

    This one started out chilly.  Glad I have heated gear.  37-40ºF for the first 2 legs.  Never got above 57º the whole day.   Still fun though.   https://www.wikiloc.com/motorcycling-trails/bilyea-iba74052-42706305 Still needs to get certified.  Pretty much did in that rear tire too...sadly...

    Darkside FAQ

    My next rear will be a CT. To that end I had one of the engineers at work draw up the brake tension bar for me so the machine shop at my work can make it up. if anyone is interested, it can be downloaded here in a couple of different formats: FJR Brake Tension Bar If this isn't allowed...

    Waterlogged Canuck heading your way

    We did this and boy am I ever glad we did. What a place. We were joking around trying to estimate the value of the bikes in there. (Just the bikes, not the F1 cars, etc). Our best guess was 750 million. The whole place is top notch. Worth every minute and every nickel.

    Waterlogged Canuck heading your way

    5000ish kms complete, including the tail of the dragon and 200 miles of the BRP. Our route saw us through 13 states (NY, PA, WV, VA, NC, GA, AL, LA, MI, TN, KY, OH, MI) and one province, ON. New Orleans was a blast, and we managed to score a really nice, really cheap hotel right at Canal &...

    Waterlogged Canuck heading your way

    As the title says, myself and a buddy (He rides a Trophy, but he's ok) are heading south starting tomorrow at lunchtime. Day 1: Leaving SW Ontario (London area) and heading to either Pittsburgh, PA or Morgantown, WV, depending on our enthusiasm at the end of the day, and of course, weather...

    CFR 2019 Baie-Comeau June 20th to 23rd, Book your Room ASAP!

    I am booked in. I'm bringing my buddy who rides a trophy...maybe we can convert him? Probably not though, he's English...I may have to get magnetic FJR logos to put over his Triumph logos.

    Can you link something for me that explains this? I've never heard of it. Thanks!

    USB charger bracket prototype

    I bought these from amazon, they are a pretty standard USB outlet. 1A and 2.1A for each outlet. One of them has the voltage meter. There are dozens of different ones on Amazon and AliBaba. Straight CLA adapters, switches, you name it, it can be totally custom. If you search on Amazon for...

    USB charger bracket prototype

    This is 1/8" aluminum, and it's plenty strong enough to withstand daily use. I think the next size up in thickness would be overkill, but that's what I do. :) It could be cut from stainless as well I guess. Waterjet doesn't really care what it cuts at that thickness.
