I have my winter gear, and my fall/ spring gear, and I just didn't want to spend another great deal of money on a Summer jacket. I wanted something I didn't care to much about and still had what I was looking for. Something I could easily throw on and around. My perforated leather jacket works...

OK gang, after installing the baker air wings, I really liked them and what they offered, so I went ahead and purchased the matching hand air wings that can be used to either block the wind and elements off your hands and torso area, or be turned to let some nice breeze in. That said, with it...

an air brush would work. You can even use a spay bottle for a small application. The activator is what activates the film and basically turns it into a liquid form. You just have to make sure you spray enough activator across the film. There is some trial and error, but I have used a spray...

I agree with you as well Dsmack. The guy in the video is using a rattle can version on the activator, which is not as bad. I am using an automotive spray gun, and use a NIOSH rated mask with canisters. Either way, you only have two lungs, two eyes, ears, etc.. and I suggest you protect them.

Yeah I do graphics for a living. I had some free time on a day, and played with making a FJR wallpaper for my desktop. That way when I am not riding I can still look at her and still daydream and smile :)Then I get off work and ride.

Here is a wallpaper graphic I made for the FJR1300 that you guys can feel free to use. Hopefully you enjoy FULL SIZE 1600 x1200 FJR1300 WALLPAPER

The process isn't too expensive. Carbon Fiber film = $75 (there are hundreds of other print films, from wood, metal, skulls, to the crazy) Activator= $100 (1 gallon) a large tub = $20-$40 (can get a good rubbermaid tub at Walmart or Target) Spray Primer =$10 (any good hardware store, prefer...

Minus the wig and makeup :) Glamour shots .. is that a compliment? My 9year old snapped the shot before I was getting ready to head out Sunday on a beautiful spring day.

Thanks LAF - I am kind of happy the way it turned out, but not perfect enough for me. Still a little rough. Perhaps if and when I get better I could offer to do some hydo printing for forum members, but right now I am not comfortable enough in which I would HATE to mess up other memebers bike...

I ride all year, but Spring is always great, as it's that window of not to cool not to hot and just pretty with all the blooms in Virginia. Here is a quick pic of my and my ride, Spring in VA.

So this weekend I decided to experiment and learn hydro printing. I am not great at it yet, but I was able to do a few successful dips with some of my parts. I plan to keep getting better and do some more dips on my bike. Hopefully next week I can try and take on the black parts of the dash/...

squeezer - Thanks for the kind compliment of my mount, also great pic of the FJR with the Gold Wing hand wings on Garauld's brackets. as for the "grommets" I used around the brackets .. Good eye in catching that.. I actually used black weather stripping from your local hardware store. I simply...

Thanks Johnny. I was going to say I could try taking mine off and you could have them, but I see you are already hooked up. I will look into the treads to remove bag reflector.. minus the "dragging down the side of a car" :)

Can the side hard saddlebag reflectors be taken off? If so are the just bolted in from the inside, and what do you use to cover the removed reflector? Thanks

I talked with Dale over at Baker Built Air Wings and he thinks he can make some side air wings for the GEN 2 but wasn't sure about what your top side farings looks like. Something about perhaps there being a moving part in the way. Can one of you GEN2 guys post a pic of the top of your side...

I picked up a sweet Radiator guard from Vyxxn Performance They have quite a few great FJR aftermarket parts.

I have also had a very hard time finding flush mount signals for my Gen1 FJR, or after market in general, but for flush mount blinkers, most if not all are 2 wire, and what I needed was the three wire setup so the flush mounts function as running lights and blinkers. I found a flush mount HERE...

If you mount the manufacture's way then NO you do not need to pull your faring pieces off. You simply use the mounting template, drill two holes per side, and the Air Wing mounts attach using anchor bolts that spread out and attach to the faring in the holes you drilled. That's it. As stated my...

I haven't had a problem with the wings damaging my faring or anything. True the wing it is catching puts some force on the mount, but nothing the fairing can't take and it's mounted secure to the bike. As for MPG, I guess it adds some drag but I wouldn't imaging much. I will give up a few MPG...

Baker Built Air Wings carries two "air wings" for the FJR. The First is for the hands, mounted near the mirrors on the fairing. These keep wind and rain off the hands and shoulders, or in warm weather can be turned to throw cooling wind right at you. The second (and the ones I bought)are the...
