    905 Racing rear Crash Bars

    You can get a rough approximation of clearance with a large piece of cardboard. Place the edge on the tires where they meet the ground and raise the cardboard to see what hits first. Not totally accurate, but it'll give you an idea.

    Doin' great. How's a guy that lives south of Orlando have any knowledge about Widder?

    Top quality HID kits for the FJR

    The whole point is that the human eye is more responsive to light that is in the yellow-green spectrum, and less responsive to light in the blue spectrum. Filament light is about 3,200 K and though the lamp produces mostly red light, the eye's response makes you think that it produces mostly...

    Looks Widder to me.

    Perhaps a reason to more strongly consider the 4300 K lamps.

    Comparison of my 06 FJR to my '10 Concours

    I just finished 6,ooo k on an '07 connie here in NZ. I agree with most of your comments, but for me, 2-up, the connie's suspension was lacking in the twisties...new Avons and it still wouldn't turn like my FJR in the states. However, the biggest thing I missed was the FJR's low end torque making...

    Surrounded by *******!

    Well forgive me, but is this year a whole lot different than the past few years? Don't you "live up north"? Isn't it supposed to get cold in the winter? If you don't like the cold winters why don't you move down south where it's not quite so cold? Just my $0.02 worth.

    Fuel economy off a bit...

    What was the temperature and did you raise the windshield more because it was cold?

    Wheels paint.?

    As an '03 owner I can certainly recommend black........easy to touch up after a tire change.

    Replacing battery on Gen 1 model - is there a write-up I missed?

    Now Howie, I'll nominate the TR6's forerunner the TR4 as the worst car. With Lucas, the prince of darkness, electrical system you got to sit down at the fuse box each year and carefully remove and clean each and every fuse and fuse holder.......or you could deal with a failure some night on a...

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    My guess is that you can only get these from Yamaha. Looks like a they were made in a progressive sheet metal punch press die. Yamaha could make a run using brass stock thru the same die. I've seen this kind of thing, tin plated steel electrical connectors, and it nevers turns out well. It was...

    New suspension settings

    The '03's were wildly underspring in the front and the rear shock isn't too wonderful either. I gave up and put an aftermarket rear shock on the rear and had Traxxion Dynamics redo the front forks. While it's an expensive approach, but works out very well. At a minimum move the stock shock to...

    "I hate those meeces to pieces!"

    The first thing to make sure of is that they are mice, not rats? You have to look at the droppings, scat, to determine that. If they are rats, it's a whole different ballgame.......bigger traps, etc. If you've had traps tripped without killing the animal, it's likely a rat......D-con is a really...
