    Top Box

    Nope, read through my thread and make your own decision but I wasn't convinced by what I have seen so far between so far. As I see it they both ultimately attach the same way, to the same points. Look at the pics. Yes the Givi rack itself might be stronger based on the materials it's constructed...

    Driveshaft Effect

    I had a front tire on my last Bandit that I took out with low air pressure and it ended up badly cupped. The result of that was a condition that felt like an instant tank-slapper when your hands were removed from the bars. The results can be dramatic.

    Driveshaft Effect

    Good stuff everyone and thanks. Tire pressures are correct. No I wasn't texting. The tire wear makes sense now. I'll look closer but I don't think I'll see anything dramatic, but it probably wouldn't take much for the slight effect I felt. The other recommendations are a bit more involved and I...

    Driveshaft Effect

    Don't know if this has been covered but on my ride to work today I flipped on my throttle lock about 65 MPH, sat back and took both hands off the bars. I immediately noticed that the bike had a distinct tendency to want to gently turn left. I was in the right lane so the crown would have...

    Staying cool while riding

    I'd dig it if they made a set for my shins. Good chance they will spontaneously combust some hot summer day...

    I can see!....behind me!

    And so I did. And they are fu*king great! What a huge difference. I thought "Hey, maybe they'll be a little better" Nope, night and day. They are actually 100% usable now. Instant improvement and the way they should have been from new. I am not a narrow guy and I have a perfect view to the rear...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Installed a nice set of used 2001 FZ1 mirrors and a new Ram Mounts 1" "Tough Ball" on the threaded stem nut.

    I can see!....behind me!

    And the answer is: Yes. 2001 s A-OK. Installed an excellent condition used set I recently acquired. Went on easily. The trick of turning the exterior stock rubber gasket/spacer was very helpful. They look much better than I expected them to. Not as 'spindly' in person I guess. I look forward to...

    Next best seat to Russell seat

    I am in the love/hate stage with my new (to me) Russell right now. Need some more days to see which way I end up.

    I can see!....behind me!

    I see many references to the 2005 model year for these mirrors but they are the same item from 2001 through 2005, correct? Any reason a set from 2001 wouldn't work as well?

    Ridding comfort (seats)

    Hi all. I just installed this one yesterday and took my first short ride. Interesting was the first word that came to mind. It sits higher than both the stock and Sargent I have (seems nearly as high in the low position as the others in the high) which suits me just fine but I initially found...

    Sargent World Sport Performance Front Seat

    It is. I just received a Russell seat so I am going to try that for a while. So I am a little over-seated at the moment. I also like to sit a bit higher and this one has a little less height than both the stock seat and the Russell, especially in teh low position. Otherwise it would probably be...
