    What's the best brake light modulator?

    They are separate pieces of LEDs that I mounted on the license plate. I don't remember who made these and I couldn't find any manufacturer name on it. I bought them back in 1998 and i moved them from bike to bike.

    Tire Valve Stem Replacement Intervals

    At a dollar a piece, I replaced the rubber valve stem every time I replaced the tires.

    MRA X-screen

    I finally drilled 4 holes and bolted it on. I like it much better. I set it up to provide a reverse flip and it works better than stock for me. Still experimenting with different positions.

    Morgan Carbtune Pro

    I think I need to get one myself as I'm new to the FJR. Did you order it directly from cartune.com? Any other tools I need to get from cartune.com while I'm at it? (do I need those special 90 deg screwdriver or something?) Thanks! mike-

    What's the best brake light modulator?

    I have been using a Kisan splice-in TailBlazer that I bought when I first started riding in 1997 (I think it was the only Tailblazer back then. Now they have more varieties) I moved it from bike to bike and 17 years later, now it's on my 2014 FJR. Basically it supports up to 100W total and makes...

    Russel seat height quick question...

    Thank you so much everyone, I appreciate all your inputs and comments! To recap: - RDL is definitely taller than stock by 1" to 1 1/2", unless we slide all the way up to the front - Sport model is 1/2" taller, instead of 1" or 1 1/2" The height is my only concern as FJR is already tall for...

    Russel seat height quick question...

    Thank you for the pointer! I didn't even know they have a 'sport model' and now I looked on their web site and saw it. May be this is better for me than the standard 'touring model' as the FJR is already tall for me as is. I think I can live with 1/2" taller, but not 1" or 1 1/2". Now anybody...

    Russel seat height quick question...

    I'm old enough to remember the vinyl seats in my car back in the 80s' so I knew how they were in California summer :-) What I meant was, vinyl is hot, leather is hot, then if there is no other valid reason to get leather, I won't waste money on leather.

    Russel seat height quick question...

    I already read as much as I could here on the Russel Day Long seat and I'm pretty much set on ordering one. My questions are: - I'm 5'8 with 29" inseam so the stock FJR is already tall for me (especially when pushing the bike around.) Will the RDL make it worse? I searched and read the old...

    2014 FJR 'A' or 'ES'? decision time...

    Thanks again. I always ride solo as my wife didn't like to ride pillion. I weight 154 lbs without gear and so far the suspension is fine for me. I haven't played with anything (compression/rebound/preload) yet :-)

    Pasadena area shop

    I'm not the OP but thanks for the info. I live 30 min from Rancho Cucamunga and I sure keep it in mind next time I need a valve check if I don't want to do it myself :-)

    LEDRider LED Floods and Spots - FJR Forum discount

    Thanks Twigg, yes, I meant a rotary dimmer (using PWM) like the one from LEDRider here.

    Looks like you can only choose 3 settings (any 3 from 0 to 100%): https://www.lights.skenedesign.com/IQ_175_Wiring.html Unlike a rotary dimmer that can set it to any brightness level on-the-fly. Correct?

    Looks like the Skene controller/dimmer can't do the stepless infinite brightness adjustment of the rotary dimmer switch?
