    FJR Assistance Directory Address

    I sent an email with my info last week but didn't realize it may take a while to get on the list or to even just get the list. Could someone forward me a copy so I could have it for my trip next week?

    Houghton MI- sighted at the Holiday Inn

    I found him.... He's from WI, taking a little tour and ended up here. Nice guy! Made me homesick looking at his bike in the parking lot....

    Houghton MI- sighted at the Holiday Inn

    Hey all, I'm working in L'Anse but staying in Houghton MI. When I got back to the hotel I saw an 05 parked out front. The woman at the desk wouldn't tell me who's it was though...... if you see this tell the front desk and we can get together for a beer. JET

    Cleaning your bike

    I use a product called Bike Brute and it works very nicely. Spray in and rinse. To rinse I use one of those pump up weed sprayers filled with warm water. Water only goes where I want it and its not at a high pressure. To dry I use a microfiber towel and a spin around the block.

    Riding Gloves Recommendations?

    What ever gloves I use will always have some kind of knuckle protection. 3 years agao I got hit so hard by a rock, bolt? I'm not sure.......but it knocked my hand off the throttle. And just marred the cf protection without cracking it. I think if I had any less protection I would have had a...

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    hahaha, the dizzy video channel, I'm familiar with it. Try flying an rc plane just using a video feedback, it's kinda fun. I've got one on order, and a sena unit for tunes and nav.

    Very expensive bike wash

    There is a difference between "coating" an electrical connection and slapping on a butt load of di-electric grease. Like anything else, moderation is the key. I've had classes on preventative corrosion control maintenance, worked with electronics on a carrier, spent several years on a tug boat...

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    Is it the mount that has the 3 finger grips on each side? I was thinking of using that one to keep the heat down.

    Bell star helmet

    Thats a decent price! I've been looking for a new helmet, something that lets good air through. How's the noise level with it? Still contemplating whether or not I want to go blue for my 05 :P

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    Ahhhh, good point concerning heat. Mine does get hot in the car. Maybe the other style mount by Ram would b better

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    The bt headset is by Motorola, also called the Motorokr. It's not a comm system, just a bt stereo headset, but it sounds great. Driving videos are cool! But I have a GoPro HD setup that I use on my RC planes that I can use on the bike so I have that covered. ALthough your video was not bad at...

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    Interesting... I have a Droid and I was thinking of using it for my tunes and nav via BT. The only problem is that I can't reach the controls on my BT headset (Motorola SD9) and I'm a little leery of having the main guts of the headset between the nape of my neck and my helmet. It could cause a...

    Side bag removal

    A tip I got off the forum concerning putting the bag back on..... With your hand that is not turning the key in the lock, hold the plastic tab down (the one the lock is secured to) when turning the key. This will keep you from either wrecking your key (twisting it into a pretzel) or not...

    Help with front tire

    Maybe we should set up a "tire exchange" program to even out the wear for everybody! :P

    WTB: Bluetooth GPS

    Hi all, Starting to outfit my bike so this is what I have in mind. I will use my Droid for cell and streaming music, and I want a separate GPS unit for nav. To integrate the gps and my cell I would like to find a bluetooth stereo (A2DP compatible)comms unit. Eventually I will set something up...

    Feedback requested on buying a used 2004 FJR

    Thanks for all the feedback guys, I believe I have found my bike! The GA bike looked very clean in the pics, has some nice mods and after several emails I've committed. The owner has several bikes, all the maintenance records, and seems like an all around good guy. What ever reservations I had...
