    First time GPS user on a bike - Thoughts?

    The 2460LMT has bluetooth, but not sure what the 765T offers that the 2460LMT does not? The Zumo 220 is too much $$ at $400. Again, I am choosing a Auto NAV first and then hopefully using it as best as possible on my FJR.

    First time GPS user on a bike - Thoughts?

    Agreed ... however, this is the GPS I'm buying for business and is going to be the only one I'll be allowed to purchase (the wife) so I'm going to make it work as best as possible. :) Thanks for the suggestions!

    New PIAA Slimline Sports Horn

    A few others determined this and posted it on the forum. And, at one point I was asking about how to wire relay/wiring for a pair of highway blasters ... and was directed to the PIAAs for ease of installation with only neglible decrease in loudness.

    New PIAA Slimline Sports Horn

    I heard from another member on this forum (couldn't find the thread so I could offer the credit) that there is a aftermarket horn that is nearly as loud as many of the horns which require additional wiring and relay. So, I ordered it form Amazon and finally installed it. Surprisingly, the...

    New Spark Plugs -- less power?

    I put the Iridium NGKs back in and took out the non-iridium NGKs. I guess I can keep them and put them in in another 10k miles or so. Not sure yet if that was the problem in a lack of 'pull' or not, but hopefully that was it.

    Just wired new Givi Top Case Brake Lights - No Luck

    madmike2 was correct ... it was the polarity. I turned the wiring harness 180 degrees and it works! Although, I am a bit surprised as ONLY the one line of LEDs light up on each side ... basically the LEDs in the white portion of the photo above of the lense. Otherwise, the rest of the lens...

    Just wired new Givi Top Case Brake Lights - No Luck

    madmike2 -- sure haven't. Only way to test that, i guess, is to pull out the wiring hardness adapter in the givi adapter plate and insert it 180 degrees. Right now, it doesn't work, so the other way is the only option. And, I do get the 023 from the voltmeter this way too. Will give it a...

    Just wired new Givi Top Case Brake Lights - No Luck

    Thanks for everyone's comments and suggestions. Again, I'm a major noob when it comes to electric stuff. Using my voltmeter, for the first time mind you, setting it to AC Voltage for 750 ... here is what it showed: 1. Top Case removed. Resting probes on the givi adapter plate on top of the...

    Custom-made Steel Plate to move Topcase Backward?

    It's a E55 ... so just a bit larger than the 46. I had the same 46 that you have on my red VFR, but sold it to buy this one (color didn't match!! what a shame)

    Just wired new Givi Top Case Brake Lights - No Luck

    Once again, my tags are NOT working!!! I had an entire thread about this here and it still happens to me. It works at first, then for some reason, it turns it into garbage. And, yes, I'm definitely without a doubt entering the tag and the URL correctly. ARRGHH!!!!!!!! A 2nd .. and then a...

    Just wired new Givi Top Case Brake Lights - No Luck

    Just installed my new Givi E55 Maxia 3 with integrated brake lights using the supplied givi harness -- pretty ingenious idea if you ask me. "IF" it works! At this point. I have NO lights whatsoever on the Givi top case. Seemed pretty simple and I'm absolutely not a wiring/electrical kind of...

    Custom-made Steel Plate to move Topcase Backward?

    wfooshee ... I am forewarned and agree after reading several threads about cracked subframes. As soon as the budget allows, I'm going to be getting the SR357 plate/bars which replace the oem bars and has a larger footprint installation to the frame. Until then, we'll mainly use the case to put...

    New Spark Plugs -- less power?

    I wondered about the Iridiums. Okay, I'll put them back in and double check the plugs too. Thanks guys. Edited to add ... bike only has ~12k on it so the Iridiums have plenty of life in them.

    New Spark Plugs -- less power?

    Since my 08 became new-to-me back in June and not being totally certain when the oil was changed, spark plugs, etc. ... i went ahead and took care of all those things. Changing the oil was the easiest ever on a motorcycle for me! Changing the spark plugs wasn't too bad either overall. My...

    Custom-made Steel Plate to move Topcase Backward?

    Someone replied in another post I made re: a past active member with the screenname "Toecutter" who made a thin steel plate that moves a Top Case back 3 inches. I just installed my new Givi Maxia 3 E55 top case w/ luggage rack, backrest, and integrated brake lights ... and the first time I had...

    Top / Adapter Plates for a Givi Monokey Top Case?

    We are going to go with what we have right now. We'll play around with the weight of expected contents, etc. and see if we are pushing the limits of the max load that is specified. If we get even close, I'm going to buy the SR357 and sell m other top plate/adapter.
