Central Texas and a Goldwing fairing sent me on an extended get-cooler hunt. The soaker vests work if the humidity is reasonably low...hardly ever here, certainly never in Florida. I have some crazy vests with freezable inserts that keep me cool for a couple of hours, then they have to be...

One of my other hobbies is restoration of 100+ year old electrical stuff...including original paint. Step one is always to try cleaning with GoJo cream...really. That often does the trick. GoJo CREAM. NOT that orange container. That's pumice. Steps two through four are to use Meguiar's...

If you use the bike two up a lot, you might want to wait until She Who Must Be Obeyed returns and test rides the thing. I sat on the pillion, and thought it pushed me too far forward, but i'm a lot bigger than SWMBO. If you don't have a pillion, pass on the accessory back pad.

Let's see if this pix deal works, hopefully this will pop thumbnails: The case is the Hepco & Becker "Journey Topcase TC50", but any of the "Journey" topcases should work with the rack. The rack is 2006-FJR-specific. I'm sorry, I dunno where I put the receipt, so I don't have the...

you don't actually have to hve the key in the ignition to open the cubby door, by the way. Best to use two fingers, but one will do. Just press firmly and "deeply" and it will pop open. Learnt it from the dealer.

Installed a Hepco & Becker rack and top box. Took about 15 minutes. Good quality rack and box, good locking mechanism, on and off quicker than the factory bags. put the accessory back pad on it for my wife. Two helmets fit fine. I can't figure out how to post pix; apparently I can't upload...

I'm happy to have it. The guy I bought my Goldwing from went behind the cubby, tapped into the line (essentially split it) with yet another cigar lighter thing, and plugged the car adapter to the XM into it...out of the weather, switched, ran the wiring to the spot he chose for the radio. I...

No, it was all daylight. With the shield in the low position bugs get caught in the air stream and are pushed up and directly into your face shield. There's some very large bug in east Texas that has LOTS of yellow blood/guts.

Lord. I'm covered in insect parts. Not used to that, on the Goldwing. Picked the bike up at Yamaha Sportscenter in Texarkana this morning...what a wonderful bunch of people, professional, friendly, great price, I only had to wait about 6 weeks for the bike. Rode almost 400 miles home...

Me, too, Ray, mebbe we'll get to visit at Tony's. I just gotta figure out how to get to Texarkana from Austin. Looks like I'll have to spend one night there. Are you going to try to pick it up Friday, or Saturday?

I despair of getting my FJR before it's time to go to North Carolina and evirons in a few weeks, so it's looking like the GL1800. I thought the least I could do would be to get some decals and place 'em in the appropriate area of the Wing: FSR.

I got stuck in traffic today behind a couple on a cruiser, wearing full face helmets. They were using this: https://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/d...s/0,,75,00.html It must work okay, because the pillion was yakking up a storm, waving her arms, pointing.

Rukka suits, available from two or three dealers in the U.S., do everything you're asking for, except perhaps not make her butt look big...the solution to that is to have her try on a snowmobile suit right before trying on the Rukka...she'll love the Rukka. The ones we have are mesh, have CE...

Hi, I'm the new guy on this forum. I've got a GL1800 which is used 2-up 99% of the time. I really like the bike for 2-up, but it's a handful around town. It really does handle a lot better than most people think, but I'm not implying it's a sport bike. I'm waiting on the FJR because I want a...
