Doooough .... Sorry, this is proof why I shouldn't post late at night. A.D.D. sufferer it seems.

No One, I haven't taken any photos of my Soltek set-up yet. I can describe everything for you later and find part numbers for the switch, wire type, and relay. I was fortunate that my '08 fairing has small vents right behind the Soltek mounting location for the power cables to fit through...

A perfect term for those Solteks. I have mine wired separately from the stock lighting. I placed a tiny rocker switch in the left grip switch housing. I seldom have a need to use these lights, but when I do .... let the flames ignite.

Tahoe, I'm not sure if your response is directed towards my FZ1 mirror installation. I did use the shorter mirror bushings. This allowed the Skyway light mount brackets to fit flush against the fairing. The FZ1 mirrors come with their own rubber housings so no additional rubber gasket is...

On my '08 I installed the 5LV-26280-00-00 & 5LV-26290-00-00 mirrors over the Skyway Soltek light mounts. The mirror studs on these FZ1 mirrors are a bit shorter than the stock '08 mirrors. I had to counterbore the Skyway mounts about 2mm to allow the studs to protrude through well enough for...

I have the Mag-Knight on my '08. Upon installation, it took a few days to work out the last tiny bends to lay flat. I'm referring to the area at the center of the tank. But now it is perfect. Most people have to look twice to see that it's there. My riding suit has some areas around the...

Slappy, Thanks for the great ride on Saturday. We really had a nice time. I was apprehensive about attending such a large-group ride. I've been witness to a few unfortunate situations in the past while being on large-group rides with VFRD & STowners. However, your ride was wonderful. Great...

Here's one more '08 FJR "2 up" for this ride. I was wondering, since there will be so many riders, if the group will be broken-up into two smaller groups. . . . Spirited (fast) & Cruising. My wife & I are usually the slowest in most group rides. If this ride was intentionally thought up to be...

Thanks Fred. This farkle will provide two purposes. First, that annoying windshield auto-retract will finally stop functioning. Next, I'll have a good source for switched power for my auxiliary light relay. Thanks to all who contributed their experiences & knowledge. I don't plan on any...

Thanks for the tip, this really helps. Following your instructions, will the "one I want" voltage fluctuate also with the height of the windshield? Or will it always be a constant 12-14v while the ignition is on? Thank you for your help.

I'm curious to learn how your project turned out. In your posts you informed us 'non-knowers' that the male portion of the connection contained the 'hot' switched positive power. And that you were able to find a substitute female connector from a sidestand switch, great find! I had been...

Kaitsdad, Thank you for taking the time to review my proposed setup. This aux light project is the only electrical farkle I have planned for the bike. I know, I say that now, but later in time ....... who knows. I think that if I decide to add a second accessory I will definitely add a fuse...

Hello, I have ordered a set of black Soltek Fuegos, Skyway's light mount brackets, a mini rocker switch, and a set of FZ1 mirrors for my 2008 FJR. I wish to wire the aux lights separate from my headlight system. Can anyone tell me where to pick a good switched (+) in the cowl area to power my...

Question regarding the Madco throttle lock. If I understand this correctly, it slips over the white plastic throttle tube after removing the grip. If so, when re-installing the grip, does the grip now have to be trimmed so it doesn't make contact with the bar end weight? Thanks, Geo West...

I'll be picking up my '08 FJR next week. I just wanted to mention that in 2006 I purchased one of your Stealth Backrests for my ST1300. It was theeee best additions to my ST. My wife absolutely loved it. Now that my ST is gone and I'm switching to the FJR, the issue of which backrest has...
