    2010 FJR1300A ..Got It!

    Very nice! After three days of haggling, I couldn't get my dealer to budge from the MSRP price for my 06. <_<

    Just wanted to chime in real quick to say the dealer found that the valves were still within spec. No adjustments were made.

    More Lights?

    Howdy all, I asked this question last summer and didnt trigger any responses, so Ill try once more. I am looking into adding a second set of PIAA 1100x's to the bike. How many spare amps are available for us to pull out of the second generations charging system? Thanks

    Seat Upgrade

    I've had a corbin saddle for four years now. It fits me perfectly, although its like sitting on well formed concrete. I'm hoping it will wear out this year, so it'll give me a good excuse to replace it.

    Zumo GPS

    trunk

    Im gonna quickly chim in and say that I had a Givi 46 for a few years and didnt have any luck with it. Maybe it was the specific unit that I had, but it was a lemon. (flimsy, I couldnt keep the tail lite covers on, the latch would disengage at will. etc) Last spring, I tossed it and picked up a...

    Single Best Farkle Ever - what have you added that you rate as #1?

    And lastly, for performance: Having tried most of the reccommended tires, I recently installed Pirelli Angel STs ( PR2s were on b/o at the time ) and must say they absolutely transformed the bike. And I'm not just talking about that usual new tire feel. Neutral handling, stable at all speeds...

    Ignition switch issue???

    I played Russian roulette with mine for awhile before getting it replaced. On several occasions, I had to turn the key off and on ten or so times before the bike would come to life.

    Oldest Battery?

    This will be year number 4 on the OEM battery. During the winter, the bike sits in a non climate controlled storage with the battery still hooked up. So far, so good.

    More Lights?

    I don't have a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, so I'm reaching out for help.... I currently have a pair of PIAA 1100x's mounted under the mirrors. A few times a year, I plug in my Zumo. I would like to add an additional pair of PIAA 1100x's. Would the extra pair of lights exceed the...

    Corbin Seat Question. . .

    Ive had my Corbin for 25k miles. Only thing I don't like about it is that it makes me slide forward onto the tank and my "buddies" get all in a bunch. On long hauls, I stand up on the pegs every now and then to get everything back to where their suppose to be. :lol:

    Ahhhhhhh Feels So Good!

    Next week, Im having the ignition switch replaced on mine. (recall) While they have the tank off, I having the TB's sync'd. My bike has 22k on it and Ive never had the TB's sync'd. :blink:

    Today I left the BMW club and joined the FJR Club....

    I had a Givi V46 for about a year. The latching system on mine was crap. The lid would always fly open. I picked up a E52 with the brake lite kit a few weeks ago. Im very happy with it. The E52 has a much more durable latch.
