    Looking for input on tank bag

    I was in Daytona for Bike Week on Sunday and visited the booth of a vendor named Twisted Throttle . They sold a unique tank bag setup that required no straps and no magnets. It used a locking ring on the gas cap that was not obtrusive and held the bag tight. You could also get one with 12V power...

    My opinion of State Farm motorcycle insurance

    I have had nothing short of exceptional service and rates from SF. The rates I was quoted when I bought my '05 were cheaper with State Farm than any other carrier I tried (however, they were including a multi vehicle discount). But here lately the rumors are flying about not only State Farm...

    New Victory Cycle

    I am the only FJR owner in my family but my dad bought an 06 Victory Vegas Jackpot. He has put a few dollars worth of upgrades into it and I gotta tell ya ........ I would buy one. I don't buy in to the whole HD fantasy world, but I wouldn't mind a cruiser in my stable just for a change of rides...

    Staintune Exaust Gaskets? What do you use?

    When I installed my Staintunes on my '05, I was able to reuse the original gaskets. The bike had barely in mileage and after carefully removing the original cans, the gaskets remained in place and were in perfect condition. But I do remember reading on the old forum that new gaskets may be...

    G2 Ergo Throttle Tube and Cam

    Do previous years benefit at all from this or is it something Yama slighted on the 06 model?

    Hey LEO's I need advice

    Traffic enforcement has never been high on my priority list, but Ponyfool's explanation sounds really good to me. However, every state can have it's own interpretation. Bottom line, if you accept someone's wave and the situation turns sour .... you will more than likely get cited. The traffic...

    Skyway's 03-05 FJR Windshield Spacers

    Just a quick "THANK YOU" to Skyway for another great farkle. For me, at 5'09", this did the trick. Previously, at a full up position, I got buffeting and the top of the +2 windshield was right at eye level. The spacers eliminated both issues and even looks more sporty in the down position. A...

    Tire Warranty

    I went to my dealer and bought a new Bridgestone BT020 for the front. I also called Metzler and they are replacing my tire. The dealer is going to keep the replacement and give me a credit for the cost. I'll use that credit toward a new BT020 for the rear. I am happy, worked out well. Thank you...

    Escort X50 8500 repair

    My 8500 x50 also got wet, not soaked, but enough to make it stop working all together. I bought mine from an internet retailer so I knew the warranty was not going to work. I was also quoted $59.95 and given a 20-30 day turn around time. I got it back in 17 days and it works perfectly. My...

    Tire Warranty

    OK OK, I apparently missed the "known issue" with these tires. Will Metz do anything about it or do I just call it the cost of doing business and buy new tires? Did anyone get Metz to replace them or how was it handled?

    Tire Warranty

    While cleaning up my bike today I got scratched by something as I was cleaning the front fender. I found the culprit, it appeared to be some wires that were sticking out the tread on my front tire. Since I do alot of wiring and electrical work in my garage, I thought I had just run over some on...

    Bike alarm

    You both have valid points and the debate on which system is better could go on forever. It all comes down to the owners wallet and how much he wants to spend. If you wana spend the big bucks, then get a system that combines it all, siren, engine disable, GPS tracking, etc.... Adjust downward as...
