Read the innovation of the month in the January MCN regarding the Vololights deceleration indicator lights with some interest. Anyone installed these on a gen III FJR? Did it work? Could be an additional safety item if effective. I did a site search but only found a 2013 post on development.

I read an interesting article in the October RIDER magazine about 2014 motorcycles having Event Data Recorders (EDR) installed as a kind of "black box" to record data from an accident that could be used to prove liability (such as excessive speed) or to influence warranty claims. Some 2014 Honda...

Liners came with mine. Agree they seem improved but haven't used them yet.

Yep--did just that yesterday. Seems like the CB should work well also. From the website info it looks like it will take a couple weeks to get here. Thanks for the positive comments on how well it works for you. Did you get the reverse flip? I went with a light gray tint.

I've heard so many positive forum reports on the Rifle windscreen that I contacted the company to see if I could get one for my 2014. Sadly, they have not made one yet but would very much like to have one available. What they need is someone in or near the Central Valley of California to let...

Sorry about the lack of a picture. I took a look at what it takes to upload one using photobucket and different URL's and know that is just beyond my interest and attention span. I don't have a real computer, only an iPad. So you'll just have to take my word for it unless you want me to send you...

Nope not the movie star--we just share the name but I had it first !

After searching far and wide in and out of state, I finally found an ES at an in state dealership at a price I was willing to pay. Put up the $500 so they could take it out of the crate and assemble it with my name attached. Had a trade in offer on my ten year old GL 1800 that was not great so I...

Will it fit on a gen III ? I might be interested if Benhur passes. Have you set an asking price?

Thanks to both of you for getting me authoritative answers so quickly. I'm seriously looking to trade my GL 1800 in on a 2014 ES. I've always enjoyed filling up at the 87 pump while the guys on the "fancy" ST's have to use the high test stuff--silly I know but small things please me.

I have an 07 Gen II that runs comfortably on 87 octane fuel. I noticed that the Motorcycle Consumer News article on the Gen III calls for 91 octane. My question--is that the case? Is 87 octane no longer useable on the new bikes? Thanks in advance. I could ask at the dealer but generally that...

Another Cheezer here looking for an ES. Went to Team Motorsports in DePere but was not overly impressed by their willingness to deal. Still include several add ons like doc fees and freight. Where did you buy and how did you find the dealer? Willing to travel for a good deal on an ES. So far...

Using even mesh gear in this excessively hot weather is a challenge. In addition to the hyperkwel vest I put a 50 oz camelback in the back pocket of my jacket. Whenever I stopped I filled the blatter with ice and a little water. It would last about an hour and a half providing me with cool...

Great help--thanks to all. Parts order happening this afternoon. Good to know I can easily replace the screen. The photo directions from Jim are most helpful and exact. Much appreciation to all who took the time to respond.

While on a trip through North Carolina my Zumo 550 started acting strangely in that it would recycle from the map page to a page that asked if I wanted to save the current location. Then it froze on the opening page: Where to/view map but would not go to either when pressed. I shut it down a...

+1 on the ZUMO 550--have had one for years and it works very well without a need for a garmin PhD.

Just completed the install of a McCruise electronic cruise on my 07 FJR with mega help from my fellow FJR rider friend, Bob Price. It took us about seven hours to get the job done but we went slowly, carefully checking every step. I've heard it called, "plug and play" but that might be a...

About a month ago I reported on getting some Motoport Ultra II Kevlar mesh jacket and riding pants. The apparel was certainly well made and seemed very substantial but I had to send it back to try for a refund. Though I really wanted the jacket and pants to work, I simply could not get...

Yep--I tried the edging on my 07 hoping to tone down some of the noise and buffeting. Didn't think it did much to prevent either problem. Went with a larger screen from Cal Sci and the difference was much more noticeable. Could not recommend the edging but I do know where you can get a good...

Thanks to all who responded to my request for help. As usual, I get the best help and the best laughs from the FJR forum. With the prompt help, I was able to resolve the problem of dressing myself. While its difficult to admit, I was not able to open the right leg completely because I wasn't...
