I superglued some magnets on the lid and the spot where they touched the other side. Worked like a champ

I've just mounted some LED lights on my forks (down low), what's the best option for wiring? Tap into the low beams? Straight to the battery/fuse box w/an independent switch? Any of the above? Thanks CM

These are sold. Thanks all.

Left side is in good shape, right side has some rash, but nothing too deep. I do have some 05 paint that was excess from when I had my 05 painted, I'm just not going to try painting it. :)

I've got both sides, but one of them is scratched up (not sure which.) They're for an 05, so they'll already match.

Just so I can get a handle on this throttle abruptness, how does the 06 compare to the 05 (I'm replacing a wrecked 05.) I test drive something, but they're all hours away, so...

IThe 08 is about 2k more, but it actually has about 5k more miles...

Is there any reason to choose one over the other? As best as I can tell they're identical excerpt for color, but the 06 is cheaper...someone help me make a decision!!!

So a month later, I'm almost all healed up. There's still some minor nerve damage in my shoulder, but I hardly notice it at this point. As far as the quitting smoking, she's gotten on wellbutrin which apparently helps w/the cravings, but that's only as of this week, so no results yet. I'm also...

Hey all, after my wreck a few weeks ago, I find myself shopping for a replacement FJR. The dilemma I'm finding myself in is all of the ones I'm finding have around 30k miles, and I'd like to be around 15k. Is this an issue that I need to let go of? I know that there are bikes w/200k+ on them...

Oh, I'm going to be getting new stuff, I mean, someone else is footing the bill so, why not? I will be keeping the old just as spares for whatever.

I wanted to give everyone an update. She and I have worked it all out. I will be taking the experienced rider course once I've found a new bike, I'll also be getting all hi viz equipment this go around. She's going to be working on quitting smoking, although that will take some time. Thanks...

On Friday, I had a pretty bad accident w/an Ford Explorer. I was out riding the the 3 Sisters for the day, while riding through Leakey, a local turned left in front of me and I ran into her. I was care flighted to Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio and spent the night in ICU. I had a...

So, in an attempt to save $150, I sprayed some electrical cleaner in the weep hole in the underside of the switch...Problem solved! I guess the contacts just got dirty in the last 40k miles. Thanks for all the help folks! CM

Replaced the main fuse, still no power, so I'm assuming the switch is no bueno. Is there a walk through on replacing? (And does anyone know where the hot wire link is?) Thanks

I've got 12v at the battery, but w/the switch in the On position, I've got no voltage at any of the fuses you mentioned. So, I guess its the ignition...f. Unless anyone has any other suggestions?

Sounds like it's a bad ignition switch. There's no gauge sweep, no tail or marker lights, etc. Turn the key and nothing happens. So, how big of a PITA is replacing the switch? BTW, it's an 05, if that's relevant.

Nope, no fuel pump...nothing happens when you turn the key, no headlights, no gauges, nada...key in run position, key in off position - seems to make no difference to the bike...

Rode to and from work on Monday, my bike started and ran fine. Went out this morning, turned the key and nothing happened. My initial thought was the battery, but put it on the charger and it's showing 13v (not enough to start, but enough to turn the lights on/move the guages.)It's acting like...
