    WTB Clutch & Rear Brake Lines

    I got lucky borrowing stock front brake lines, (Thanks to Sportrider) now I would like to see if anybody has a stock clutch and rear brake line I could use to have them made in SS braided lines. I will be happy to pay you back for the shipping and will return them as soon as possible. It...

    2005 FJR Front Brake Lines

    This may sound a little funny, but I am hoping that somebody out there has a set of front brake lines I can barrow for a little while. There is a shop here that has made several SS braided lines for me over the years and they do it quite a bit cheaper than buying through the after market. I...

    Frontend feels light

    Thanks guy! I've noticed that when I travel packed down with camping equipment it doesn't seem to get that feeling or when the other half rides with me. I'll take a look at the video and see what I can do.

    Frontend feels light

    I have spent most of the day trying to find the post about the front end of a gen 1 feeling vague with a Givi top case mounted. I have the same box and feeling and I am trying to find if anybody has found a fix other than changing the box. I am planning on riding to S.D. in August and I really...

    Cruise Control Help

    Sounds like vaccum is the way to go. Does the kit come with everything I need?

    Cruise Control Help

    Is the css-100 all electronic, or vaccum? It would seem like an all electronic unit would be better.

    Cruise Control Help

    I am ready to add cruise control, but Have a few questions it you will bear with me. Maybe I shouldn't be looking on ebay, but that is where I started. What exact model of the audioVox for a 2005 FJR do I need to look for? I am fairly mechanical and do most all of my own maint, but have never...

    Zumo GPS Wiring

    Thanks, I have the wiring kit that came with the unit. What I am needing to know, is where to hook it up. Straight to the Battery? Some type of fuse block?

    Zumo GPS Wiring

    Hey guy's & girls I have used the search and I have seen the discussions, but I can't find it now. I am wanting to hard wire my Zumo and I know several of you have done this before and I would like to have some pointers. Currently I have it plugged into a lighter plug that is connected to my...

    05 FJR & Back Pain

    I feel like a dumb@^^. I removed the gel pad and haven't had a problem since. Evidently the pad was pushing me toward the tank and my long arms were pushing me back putting a kink in my lower back. I rode to Road Atlanta this past weekend and didn't have a problem at all.

    05 FJR & Back Pain

    I removed the risers and the lean angle is more like my FZ1 now. If anybody know where I can find some risers for an 05, that rotate the bars out a little, I sure would appreciate it.

    05 FJR & Back Pain

    The pain isn't so bad that I would become distracted, more like an aggravation than anything else. I know I need to do some exercises. Especially since the winter here was a little worse than we are used to. So I did a lot of setting around during the winter. How do you feel about kidney belts?

    05 FJR & Back Pain

    I am at a total lose here. I have been riding most of my life and have never ridden a motorcycle that made my back hurt. Even on long distance rides my FZ1 would make my butt hurt, but not my back. Any of you FJR owners ever had this problem? I don't know what to change first. All I have changed...

    Finally My Son is home!!!!!

    It's great to have them home. My oldest son has been gone for a year and a half. (US Coast Guard in Kodiak Alaska) He got to come home for 30 days and we are enjoying every minute. Doing a little riding when the weather permits and just hanging out together.

    Mirrors

    I have a set of mirrors off my FZ1 so I thought I would try them on the FJR. IMO they do give a better field of vision, but just stuck out to far. I couldn't do it. Next I tried my Rizoma bar end mirrors. Again, great field of vision, but they just didn't look right. I guess I'll stick with the...

    Wild Bill's Highwaypeg Brackets

    Just installed Bill's brackets and I am pleased with them. I am going to machine some 3/4" spacers to put between the pegs and the brackets to move them out just a little.
