    Communications Systems

    Take a look at Autocom. I've used the Chatterbox units before. Not that great of a unit in my opinion. I've really like my Autocom unit

    ice cooled vest?

    That's very similar what I had on my knee after surgery. Kept it running all the time to keep the swelling down. I could see where it would work for well

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Just got home from getting mine done. Everything done correctly plus they installed my Heli clamp for free. They took about three hours to do everything but it was done right. No complaints here.

    Switched Power Source

    Okay I'm trying to install a fuzeblock and need a switched power source. From my google searches I know I can use a blue green wire the powers heated grips the comes on after the bike starts or a blue wire the comes on with the key that powers the tail lights. I'm planning on using the blue...

    Bike Cradle VS Trailers

    I'd look into the trailer in a bag. I also have a friend that has one and it seems to work fine. I personally would hate to drag my bike around by its rear tire. The rear tire would get worn plus just think what would happen if it drops in gear some how. May never happen but I don't want to...

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Thanks for adding the technical bulletin. I now feel I'll be fully prepared to be able to talk with the service manager in a knowledgable manner when I go to get mine done this weekend. I'll let everyone know how it goes

    Russell v. Corbin

    I have the Corbin. I like the looks of the Corbin better than the Russel. I was actually fine with the stock seat but my pillion rider wasn't. We're both happy now. I also have the Corbin on my VTX and love it. Different seats for different seats

    The Recall Ignition Switch - What's new about it?

    Thanks for the info. I'm supposed to get my done on the 28th. The people up front told me I'll have separate keys. the service guys weren't in when I made the appointment. So I figure I'll take it in and talk with the service guys to see if they know what's going on. If not, I'll leave and...

    Wiring the Stiebel Air horn

    I haven't done this mod myself, however if I understand things correctly from what I've read I would say yes you need a second relay for the horn. While I believe it isn't required it is highly recommended that you use one. I'm sure someone else with a greater understanding and knowledge will...

    CAUTION! The Electrically Challenged at Work!

    I suck with a soldering iron. Never have figured out how to use one properly. Not sure what solder to use, or if you use flux. What is a good soldering iron that makes it simple for us soldering challenged to use?

    Heli Bar HRT076 and HRT076-2

    If anyone would like the non riser model PM me. Maybe we can work something out.

    Heli Bar HRT076 and HRT076-2

    What's the difference between the HRT076 and HRT076-2? I've looked on Heli bars' site and did a google search on the fjrforum and couldn't come up with anything. I just purchased a used triple clamp off a forum member and they are the HRT076. I thought they were the HRT076-2. After going back...

    Vega Touring Boot - Review

    I've had these boot for a couple of season's now. Violione has good write up on them. Below 30 degrees they do seem to let a lot of air in however. My toes were cold after a 15 minute highway ride in 20 degree weather. Other than that no complaints from me

    Autocom AVi

    Good question. I'm trying to figure this out as well. I have my Autcomm currently hardwired on my VTX. Now that I have a FJR I want to be able to move it between the two. I don't always use or have a need for a tank bag so I'm not sure what I should do or what's the best method to do this.

    Heli Group Buy..... (ends 11/15/2008)

    I'd love to order one of these. It'd definately help on the reach. But with the way things are right now, I just can't afford it. It's definately on my wish list. You ran group buy back in June or so and it ended right when I bought the bike so I hadn't had a chance to test the bike out to see...

    5k miles on Front Dunlop Roadsmart

    Hmm! guess I'll keep an eye on this thread. I'll be needing new tires over winter or early spring. Thought about the roadsmarts based on recommendations but looks like the jury is still out.
