    Koubalink or Soupy's?????

    All previous discussions relative to lowering an FJR have all referenced the Koubalink which lowers a non-adjustable 7/8 inches. Has anyone used the lowering link (dogbone) from Soupy's performance (https://www.soupysperformance.com/catalog/item/4408900/6716152.htm)? It is a stainless steel...

    Welcome to the group from Harrodsburg, KY. There are 3 Feejers over here. I got my 07 from LMS as well. Enjoy all that power very carefully but ENJOY!

    At least the saddlebags match now

    Can now appreciate your pain--dropped mine Sunday for 1st and hopefully last time. Did not do the damage you did but pride still hurt. Also I can attest to it being a heavy MF'er. I turned around backwards and was going to back it up with my legs so as not to hurt back but to no avail...

    blinker indicator

    *************************** Second Cota95's comment on audible beeper. Put one on my 07 for less than $5 from Radio Shack. Thought I got directions from post on here but can't find it again. But found this one and it is similar but uses one rectifier as opposed to two resistors that I used...

    How to plot routes with a GPS?

    Hey, I am a long way from an expert but did some research prior to purchasing my Zumo 450. I had settled on a garmin product so did not look much at others. The garmin C-series and the Nuvi do not allow downloading of custom routes as far as I know. The only one I could find that did was the...

    Cee Bailey Reverse Contour Flip Windshield

    Like you I set real tall in saddle. I have +4/+2 and would not trade. Soooooooo much better than OEM. Can see over even at top setting with no problem. run with it in low position most of time. Flip took care of the buffeting. Need to raise it some to reduce helmet wind noise though

    gas line connector under tank

    ***************************************************** I hate admit it, you guys are probably right...it was a technician problem and I was the technician. Let me make sure I have this right so when I get back into it this weekend I will know what the heck I am doing. I now gather that even...

    gas line connector under tank

    I tried to do search on this but came up empty. The quick connect onthe gas line from the tak popped off the other day and left me stranded with gas all over my left leg. I also found out that the tool kit (?) does not have an allen wrench the correct size to remove tank front screws. Anyone...

    Whining on New Bikes

    Dang, I'm almost glad to hear others talk about the whine. Beginning to think I was having serious problems. My 07 has started a high-pitched whine after about 3000 miles. Irritating as the devil until the wind drowns it out. Did not notice it much until about 500 miles ago. Maybe I was...

    Seats

    *********************************** Probably true about no more heat than a normal seat while riding. But park that sucker in the sun at the office all day and then try to ride it home. You won't do it but once. You will find or create some shade next time cause that gel pad do hold some hot...

    Original 06-07 seat

    The Front is all I need if you will sell separately. I tried to "improve" my stock seat by adding a gell pad. DO NOT like it. Holds heat like a SOB. I did not think stock was that bad but sometimes I just have to tinker where I have no business tinkering. Figure it is just easier to replace...

    Wind noise at speed.

    I am 6'2" but short legged and long waisted so I set high. OEM screen was the absolute pits. Bought a Cee Bailey +4H+2W with flip and can run with shield all the way down with much less buffeting and noise than OEM. Raise the shield 2/3 to 3/4 and I get no buffeting and total quiet...

    one more quick question

    I am from the old cruiser club and just have 1500 miles on my 07 but when riding with the group and sticking to the rules I topped out last weekend on a 200 mile ride at 52.2 mpg on the screen. 50+ is common. HOWEVER, when riding by myself to work running 80-90 with a hitch every now and then...

    Dropping The FJR and YOU

    Hey, I'm afraid to vote. If I tell the truth, then next time out probably will be the day it happens so I say nothing.

    Cee Bailey windscreen first ride

    Put my Cee Bailey +4H+2W with flip on this afternoon and took a short ride. Very windy day here so good day to see if size really does make a difference. Immediately noticed less wind in the chest with screen in lowest position. Also less helmet (old Nolan 2-button flip) noise than OEM but...

    Rode it back from D&H

    Congrats on the new ride. I share your joy! I picked my new one up yesterday and did 128 miles. First impressions: 1. WOW!! 2. Seat more comfortable than I thought it would be 3. Throttle springs are pretty stiff. Will try the mod. 4. Did not notice much problem with any abrupt...
