    Corbin Modular '06 '07

    I tried a Corbin on my bike when I was at Myrtle Bike Week a few weeks ago. I liked the way it felt, but like you, I was reluctant to shell out the cash without a money back return policy. I'm hoping Sargent will be at Americade next week and I get a chance to try it on for size.

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    So I think Smitty's work and my experience during my recent trip help reduce the likelyhood that the problem is related to the electical portion of the installation. I was riding two-up yesterday and the AVCC failed to hold much more often than solo - particularly if climbing any kind of rise -...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    I just completed a 2500 mile round trip to Myrtle Beach and had mixed results with the AVCC. Overall, I'd say it worked 90-95% of the time. However, at times, it would develop a bad attitude and start releasing and then fail to hold at all. Having a lot of time to examine the problem and...

    Wind noise at speed.

    I'm 6'4 and recently installed a V-Stream windshield. While it did increase the amount of wind protection I get, I can't say it is much quieter. With the stock screen I get a clean airflow over my helmet and the noise is more related to the helmet that windscreen. With the V-Stream, I'm out...

    GPS Upgrade

    I have a Garmin 176c and love it. I just wish it could auto route. What really bothers me with this and the other Garmin models in the 27x and 37x family is that they use Garmin's proprietary data card. Otherwise I think they have the best screens and are the most durable units you can get. Dan

    622 Miles

    And because I've done the same thing - with a different bike - I've developed a habit of putting my foot behind the kickstand as I put it down and keep it there after it's fully forward (on the ground) and as the weight of the bike is transfered to the stand. The idea is to make sure the stand...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    My Friend and I both installed an AVCC on our '06 FJR's. I installed mine first and his a couple of weeks later, both following the same installation instructions. Mine acts like rfulcher's, but the symptoms aren't quite as severe. My friend's appears to work perfectly - we've traveled...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    This isn't what I expected - I would have put money on the servo being defective. OK, here's one more theory - what if a vacuum hose was collapsing; specifically, what if the vacuum hose coming from the engine compartment got pinched off as the engine warmed up and the hose got soft? This...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    It seems the performance/operation of Alex's system is much worse than mine. I've been trying to use it every opportunity I can get, and it won't fail. I even used it on a road with some pretty steep hills at 45 MPH in top gear and it never quit. I did go over the entire installtion over the...

    Any Experience with the New Bridgestone BT021's?

    Just installed BT021's on the bike yesterday and got to ride them to work today. So far I'm very happy and I agree with the comment about them being very neutral in corners. On the highway they're very stable and track well - no wandering off on road irregularities or cracks. Maybe I'm just...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    Has anyone had any experience with Audiovox and warranty claims for the CCS-100? I'm thinking of getting another unit to replace the one I have while I work warranty issues. Dan

    Why does my new handlbar grips come too short?

    because the FJR uses a longer than normal grip. measure the stock ones and look for a replacment of the same lenght.

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    In the process of trying to debug the same problem with my cruise, I had started to think about the cable/throttle connection, and imagined that the servo may be able to detect a fault condition whereby the control unit may be trying to command the servo to open the throttle but doesn't detect...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    I recently installed a CCS-100 and it's behaving the same way. I've taken vacuum measurements at the tee to the servo/accumulator, and there's lots of vacuum. I've thought that there could be a slow leak, but wouldn't the constant engine vacuum just compensate? After much thought, I've also...

    Switched Power Lead for Cruise Control

    A search should have turned up some pretty detailed installation information, including the power connections. In short, there are two (actually 3 if you include the control panel lights) power points that get connected - the orange wire fron the 4 pin connector goes to the accessory feed at...

    Vstream Windshield for the 06

    Check out the Part and Accesories forum. I installed one on my '06 and it fit fine.

    Wide Boots

    I found the Sidi On Roads to be particularly wide.

    06/07 V-stream Version 2 is here

    So I received my V-Stream today. The install was super easy and everything fit just like the stock windscreen. Took her out for a quick ride about and everyting is much different. It's hard to explain, but it seems like the whole character of the bike has changed - the V-Stream looks nice on...

    06/07 V-stream Version 2 is here

    Mine's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Just in time for the rain to stop and we finally get a weekend with decent weather and I hope to get a fair number of miles with the V-Stream. :yahoo:
