I have a Cobra handheld CB that I plug into a Starcom Advanced and then hook the CB on to my belt. It works ok but the range is limited. I have been thinking about making sometype of an attachment to mount the radio temporarly on the bike and then connect it to a permanent antenna. I have...

As a follow up I would like to say thanks to all who have responded to my question. The input has been great and I appreciate the time you all have taken to respond. Ride safe!

I don't mind getting wet on occassion and rarely do with my current riding clothes and I can deal with having to wash the bike down as necessary. However, I have yet to come to grip with just how much traction I really have. Based upon what I have read to date, most articles tend toward "what...

That is a really cool color! Is that custom or what....never seen an FJR that color before. Really nice! I did a New Years ride myself....the temp never got above 38 degrees but it was sunny and I was cozy in my "electrics". That is, until the thermostate came loose and vest turned off...

What type of CB radio are you using and where is it located?

Oh man, am I ever blessed! If I had to ride in those conditions I'd never make it. If I tried to ride like that the "hillbillies" that I live amoung would either squeeze me off or open their door to block me. As for the coal truck jockeys....I won't even go there! Ride safe man!

I've had good luck with Tourmaster clothing. It is reasonably priced and the sizing charts fairly accurate. Like most riders on this forum I have a box full of gloves. When the temp is in the upper 30's I use the Tourmaster Polar gloves. They are a combination leather and textile fabric with...

I am looking for a source that offers protection for the hard side cases in the event of a tipover. Although it hasn't happened yet, I am sure it is a matter of time before that ugly event occurs. Searching, Google, Yahoo and other devices I can't find anything. My search has also included...

No doubt your artist is gifted...but the theme is way too dark for me. Are you into the occult? I refer to my bike as "Beulah" since it is a "heavenly experience" to ride. I've never ridden a "magic carpet" but I would have to guess riding my fjr is my best guess as to what it would be like...

I have a Powerlet plug going into my tank bag that contains my xm radio. A three way adapter plug that takes feeds from Xm radio, gps, cb or mp3. A single cord goes to my Chatterbox reciever on my helmet. Although I have mentioned a mp3 I rarely use it since adding the xmradio. When I feel...

No man, you are not alone! Everytime I throw a leg over my bike I just Praise The Lord that it is really mine and I get to ride one more time. I have to admit to finding creative ways of doing things and going places that can only be done on the bike. Really, weird but, it is what it is! I'm...

mine is being changed as I write this. I rode similar roads a couple of weeks ago and mine failed at just 3500 feet. It is a lonely feeling when you hit the start button and nothing happens. I don't want to go there again.

I am sure I wasn't but for reasons beyond me searches don't come easy on this sight for all the non-standard terminology, or other folks out there who seem to have a problem with new users of this forum asking for or making comments about anomalies with their bikes. After a while it gives one...

The last line of your comment: "ride the conditions"...says it all. I'll bet you weren't riding that fast with a strong quartering wind hitting you. Let me tell you, when that happens "you'll know it and it will scare the crap out of you"!

Thanks for the tip. Actually, the most recent trip with the box on the back had a duffel (sort of). It was one of those waterproof "seabags" that I keep my camping equipment. To seal the bag you roll down the top and it forms into a handle. The handle portion sticks out into the windstream...

The problem occurred on Monday of this week, dealer closed. The dealer is 100 miles from my home....can't make the trip on Tuesday....gotta work. Wednesday, make trip to dealer, "confirm the problem is due to "altitude pressure sensor within the ECU". Replacement part ordered. So, I guess I...

Follow-up... I took my bike to the dealer today and related the above story. In short, the problem "does lie with the ECU" and the pressure sensor within it. The problem is covered under a re-call for certain bikes with specified "vin numbers". Sorry I can't say what the range is as I did not...

I did a 240 mile run today without my Givi Top Box on the back of the bike. I had fairly strong head and quartering winds hitting me and I am happy to report the bike was rock solid unlike the weaving (scary I might add) feeling of riding in similar conditions with the box attached. This...

Thanks for your reply. Not having a manual I wasn't able to detect what the source of terminal four was although it was mentioned in the research but noting more. I really appreciate your response. The side stand was up and the bike was in neutral. The bike turned over several times but...
