    Thanks for the warm welcome! I figured I'd try to meet up with FJR1300 before reaching Springfield. I'll have to find out what his plans are and what time he's heading out Thursday morning. Have you guys discussed about what time you plan on heading out from Springfield? Anyway, thanks again...

    @FJR1300-- Are you still planning on leaving for Russellville on Thursday morning? If so, I wanted to see if you and GalaxyBlue would mind if I were to ride along with you guys? If you're going to be going through Sedalia then I'm assuming that you would be going through the Warsaw area. If...

    HID Self Buy

    Bounce, So did you decide to only upgrade your PIAA 910s to HID and leave your stock headlight bulbs as halogens? I have PIAA 910s, but have not installed them. I'm not sure if I'm going to upgrade to HIDs right now, but I'm curious as what factors influenced your lighting upgrade decisions...

    Warchild, What are your thought's regarding Tinker's comment as shown below? Is this something that you think fellow FJR owners should be concerned about when considering the replacement of the stock headlight bulbs with the HID kit your testing? Just curious. BeardO

    Can someone please answer a question for me regarding garauld's auxiliary light mounting brackets? Can I use these mounting brackets to mount a pair of PIAA 910's? Are the holes in the brackets far enough out to allow you to mount PIAA 910's below the bracket without any interference? Thanks...

    Balls Of Rubber Found During Avon Tire Change

    The following link is to a Top Case / Trunk listed on eBay that I've never seen before: H-Life Top Case / Trunk Does anyone know anything about this brand? I wouldn't mind having a trunk, but I have not wanted to spend the amount of money that a GIVI costs. This trunk is much cheaper, but at...

    Air Pressure Gauge

    woodstock, I do not have the Ariete valve stems on my wheels yet, nor have I ordered them yet. However, I would think the "OEM Japanese wheels with 11.3mm hole" is the correct ones. The only other ones that they sell are the Italian ones and they're much smaller. Hopefully black mamba will...

    Air Pressure Gauge

    black mamba, Thanks much for your reply. Not only did you answer my question, but you answered my questions that I didn't ask as well. The place I had my tires installed last year only static balance the tires so I was worried about using the 90 degree valve stems. BTW, would you say that...
