I used the 2.5" iso peg extenders which gave me plenty of clearance from the fairing. The 8002 pegs are only 1/8" longer and are 1/4" bigger in diameter. Using the large pegs will make them stand out more that the small ones. in the grand scheme of things, 1/8" is not going to make or break...

Here is the part numbers from kuryakn I used. offset small iso mount peg set #7998. 2 1/2" ISO PEG extenders 8064. I have the offset peg mounts at kinda like a 45^ angle and I have not scraped them yet. I do agree that I wish they were a powder coat silver or black to blend in, but I already...

Here is some picts of some highway pegs I made using old wild bill mounts and k peg offsets with small iso mount pegs. They look good, unobtrusive and let me stretch my leg all the way out. Just don't corner with them down. No loss of lean angle when folded since they extend out about the...

Here is the picts

Just thought I would share with you all the picts and review of the cycle-istic rear passenger peg extension. They look great and give the rear passenger a more ergonomical leg position. Ok, for some reason, I am not smart enough to post a pict. Sorry. Clicky here Here is the site with picts...

Huh....We'd all be ok if they would just outlaw those four wheel death makers. Hail to the two wheelers. Ride one bubba gump, ride on!!!

I got an idea lets invite Sir Isaac Newton to discuss his laws of gravity and physics as it relates to ABS and deceleration. We could also talk about the drag co-efficient of various surfaces in order to achieve the most out of our braking..... :aaskull: I think we killed this topic. Good...

Now Now, we are all playing nice :drinks:

I really don't know where this came from. MAX breaking is not at the point where you achieve wheel lock up. Locking the front wheel up is a VERY bad thing, trust me. Max breaking is the point just shy of a skid, hench the impending skid soud some, or all of you may have heard under max...

The bike tested is a 06 bmw r1150rtp which weighs in about 800lbs. I fully agree with you on the unpredictable surface. that was my whole point and the reason for buying the FJR. (previous bike was HD softail. Like stopping an aircraft carrier.) I am so light (145 lbs.) that under max...

I rode my bike to Deadwood from phx (1301 miles) and my right hand was numb. i feel a slight humming from the handle bars. I have bar risers, cruise control, sergeant seat. I tried moving, shifting, cruise etc. Also have throttle meister bar ends. No monkey butt tho.

+1 One great disadvantage to ABS is some people, not all but some, over rely on ABS. When riding, you must know your bike, know your own abilities, and know your riding route. Thanks Truwrecks for explaining it a little better than me, I knew what I wanted to say, but as always, I muffed it...

The way abs functions is by compressing the brakes pads and then releasing them then compressing them and repeat. Remember the old cars with manual brakes that you had to pump. Well sort of same concept except the computer applies and reapplies the brakes at a much higher rate. I don't know...

When you are trying to brake, you need to realize that you DO NOT want to be in ABS. ABS will take you almost twice as long to stop compared to max braking. Even in a "panic" stop. You need to practice like you never practiced before. ABS was designed so that you do not have a front wheel...

I'm gonna look like a retard but these are for 120/70/17 and 180/55/17's right???God I must be an idiot............... :dribble:

I hear a clicking sound coming from the steering head when I accelerate. The tires have 7k on them. I am looking at buying the avon storms. How do I tell if the shocks are shot? I tried it on both settings but my tires are so f'd up that I'm not sure. 1st thing is to change rubber I guess.

Ok, I'm really gonna put myself out on limb here. (a verrrryyy weak limb). I am in the market for new tires on my 05 with 7000k on it. I have z4's and was researching tires. I heard Avon was good, but someguy at a tire shop said that z6 should be the only tire put on an fjr. If these avons...

I've got the same issue on my 05 with 7000 miles on it. Just seems to wanna dive too much and I have to pull the handle bar back to reel her back in. Not sure about any suspension work on it. i am 150 lbs and have z4's on them. I thought it was the bike, but glad to hear it can be fixed...

Yeah, i am not looking for protection at 120. I've seen wrecks at 85 and its not good. I really dont care about the bike in a wreck, they can be replace. (albeit I'll probably cry though.) I would like more protection for my wife and I. The frame sliders I have are just a poly type plastic...

Yeah, don't think the siren looks very sexy. dont know why they cut up the fairing so much, just extend the crash bars out a little. Europeans??? :dntknw: I want a little more crash protection for my wife and I. Dont really think frame sliders are gonna cut it. I might have to make my own...
