    Passanger Seat, is it good?

    I can understand a SPORT-Touring bike not having a backrest, as some might view that as a hindrance in a get-off. But would I sound really stupid asking why a Sport-TOURING bike doesn't come with a functional rack as standard?

    Out of the garage!!!!!!!!!

    We had meaningless snow flurries after a week of almost 70F weather here in SE PA. Went out for a ride to celebrate getting my FeeJR out of the garage and back on the road. Had all the plastic off so I could farkle around during the cold weather. Just in time. Hang on, watch those potholes...

    Paint Match

    Silver Blue paint to match the '06 is from PPG the code is DBC 903142 however I am not sure if it will match as mixed, sent a side panel to the supplier and they may have tinted the color to match the side panel.

    Givi rack with top box on a 2007, is it reliable?

    If this is your concern, I would recommend OHFJR's rack. Have one, looks nice, bolts to universal GIVI (250) mount in 2 positions. Wife likes the seating position, has relieved a lot of stress on her knees <I think it's puttin'em down in the corners is what's been hurten her so much> You...

    Paint Match

    I can tell you from experience that the ColorRite silver blue posted on their site for the '06 does NOT match. I ordered some (actually, Ted over at TrickWorks ordered some for me) and ColorRite took it back, no cost but shipping. I was not able to find any formula match posted on this Forum...

    Got a Zumo 550... what do I need for MP3 music & cell phone?

    Where did you get that mount for the ZUMO? Nice. I just ordered MCL's. Very interesting, I sent a similar querry to Garmin earlier today. Am waiting for their response. I'm connecting through an AutoCom, so maybe I will have to use an MP3 player instead of Zumo for music source. Anyway...

    To Warm Up or Not to Warm Up

    +1 Thirty (30) seconds to warm slightly, and keep the revs below 3500 rpm till you see a few bars come up. IMHO- - I can't speak from experience on cycle engines, but I put 100+ thousand on all my cars, mixed driving, I'm not the kindest operator, and I never warm up an engine. Won't tolerate...

    Anyone have a '06 manual?

    You know, I just noticed that the cover on my book doesn't say what year it's for (it's for my '06, for sure, but it doesn't really say that in plain English anywhere I can see) Anyway... Spring free length 262.0 mm (10.31 in) Installed length 251.0 mm (9.88 in) Oil height 92.0 mm...

    Oil Sight Glass/Windshiled Renew Product

    Here's how I do it... First you have to park and get off, that's the hard part. Then I get on my hands and knees, kiss the asphalt, the only time I ever hope to, and look up. [it will probably help if you take the sunglasses off.] It's really hard to see right after an oil change, it helps...

    Top(less) Boxes

    The outside dimensions of the GIVI V46 and E52 are almost identical. The E52 holds a liter or two more in volume. The inside shape of E52 is more regular. The main difference is the design of the handle. The v46 has a recessed handle, ostensibly so it doesn't bump and break, but it steals...
