    So I just scored a set of OEM heated grips for my '06 on Ebay

    Hey that golden yellow looks groovy! Is that a custom job?

    Buell XB12X - is price right and other questions

    For what it's worth ... I am having a hard time deciding if I can still keep my FJR!! :-( I love it for the LD touring (potential that I haven't yet exercised fully) and the farkles that I have bought and not yet installed (shame on me being so lazy). Anyway, I don't have much space in my...

    Buell XB12X - is price right and other questions

    Thank you all for your responses. The only concern I have is how the bike was broken in. From my test ride I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary and since I am new to Buells I probably wouldn't notice anyway! The other (minor) thing is that the owner replaced the muffler, but says he...

    Buell XB12X - is price right and other questions

    I have never ridden a buell before and I am not a HD fan, but the Buell Ulysses (aka XB12) caught my eye. Clearly, the FJR is great for LD touring, but I am looking for something lighter ... not decided yet if I want to sell the FJR. A local private seller has a 2006 Ulysses (XB12X), black, 600...

    Any MS Excel experts here?

    You need to setup a netmeeting (free, or equivalent screen conference) to ask and get answers. Excel is complicated for the un-initiated, but simple who have used it. Otherwise you will be writing a thousand words and still may not get the answer quickly.

    The Ultimate FJR HEAT Fix!!

    Bad looking maybe, but give some credit for deflection will ya!? It's a work in progress I am sure. More aero tuning is probably in the works. Keep us posted ... whoever posted it here! Right now I am cold, so this is moot ...

    Now accepting nominations for Farkle fo the Year!!!

    If you mean the sliders to protect the plastic, but that might break inside? .... I heard there were issues with those. Maybe corrected, but that doesn't deserve a medal. Unless I missed some posts about a permanent fix.

    Yamaha Top Case vs. Givi Top Case

    For once, I do agree with you. The top bag (any bag) on this sleek machine is odd looking. Of course, I haven't done much LD riding, so I may very well become wiser soon. Anyway, most of the time side bags are out for me unless I MUST carry something. FWIW: I still haven't figured out (why)...

    Watts and things

    I have ordered a service manual, so I don't yet have all the details about which electrical stuff consumes what wattage, etc. From what I have read here, the FJR alternator is not much over-engineered (bad!). I would like you guys to weigh in do'es/don'ts. I need to install: (some of this may...

    Fenda Extenda or alternative for 2006

    I checked the forum and few links, but as of now I haven't found the Fenda Extenda for my 2006. Did I miss a link? In the meantime, what alternatives are in use by members? Without the extension, the radiator and underbelly is getting all grimed and bug'ed! I will be getting a radiator guard...

    Audiovox cruise install.. Atlanta area..Week of Nov 27th

    +1K bmac: Excellent idea! Your install cost is very reasonable and I hear you are meticulous to a T! So, let's explore this members. For example, if smitty did 10 installs in the NE (I am from NJ), how much additional would you pay for the install service? I will go out on a limb and say...
