Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help on the Audiovox install. It wasn't the cleanest, most sanitary install in the history of Man (or even FJR), but I just got back from a 4,200 mile road trip and it was a wrist-saver. I had no idea it would make as much of an impact as...

Count me in as a definite possible. Just got back from a 4,200 mile trip and need to plan for new tires. Thanks! Rancho

Thanks, guys. :) I figured there was a good chance it had been NEPRT'd (new term?), but reading 10,000 posts to find it.... ugh. Gonna see how much closer to SoCal I can get from Casper, WY today. Ride safe! Rancho

I'm in the middle of a few thousand mile road trip and was checking tire pressure somewhere in Montana/Wyoming today. Normally I follow the sorta-guidline of 42PSI front, 44PSI rear on a Pilot Sport front and Pilot Power 2 rear. When I checked the hot pressure--it's toasty; 90 or so--the rear...

They do----for $180ish. Ouch. I thought only their riding gear was expensive. :o Hmmmmmmmmmmm. *scratch scratch scratch* Rancho

Great! I leave Wednesday, so if you could pick up the pace I'd appreciate it. :lol: :lol: :lol: Rancho

I'm getting ready for a bit of a road trip and was wondering what the best way is to wire both my Valentine and the iPod into the Autocom so that I can listen to music and let the Valentine kick in when it needs to wake me up. Any suggestions on the modern solution? Thanks! Rancho

Outstanding Spock! Errr...wfooshee. :lol: Went to the garage after work with my multimeter and checked the wires. Brown is hot when the ignition is on and yellow hot only when the brake light is on. So I'll tap into the wire tha comes off of the rear brake pedal--it's hot regardless of...

Bramfrank & Leskid, thanks for the input. I appreciate it. :) Wfooshee: I'm not sure what you mean about "other side" of the brake light. (FJR wiring diagram linky.) My read of the wiring diagram says that the brake light switches just provide power to the brake lights when used and the...

Interesting. I'd never have thought of jamming that servo in there. I have it under the left side cover right now--right side cover has a Blue Seas fuse block under it and I want to keep the tool tray for tools. I had to take off the little intake snorkle to make it fit, but I don't see there...

I'm still following the directions at FJRInfo and looking at the manual as well. According to page 3 the manual: Brown - Switched power Grey - VSS (Not used on the FJR). Red - Brake Purple - Brake Yellow - Resume (connect to switch control pad) Green - Set (connect to switch control pad)...

Good thing I didn't break mine then, huh? Seems strange that something so obviously not an inseparable part of the TB assembly would not be available separately. Rancho

I've never had a problem with the Shad top case & OEM side case installed with an oversized Cee Bailey sheild, though I don't get north of 90 or so very often. Especially with the redhead on the back. She smacks the back of my helmet if I get too heavy-handed with the throttle. :lol: That...

I *think* I'm good. Need to put the tank on and give it a go to be sure. I'll know soon enough, eh? Rancho

Yeah, looks like it. I was using the FJR1300Info.com site instructions. Not a massive mistake. I manage to bend it so that it only barely touches the cable when I'm at full throttle and (to be honest and show my pansy-ness) I rarely need to whack it WFO anyway. Thanks to all y'all for the...

Good idea. Viva la Dremel! :lol: Rancho

I used the one that came in the kit, so...... Dunno. I managed to get it to work, but in retrospect I would definitely use a smaller screw. That one is a 4mm thread out of the kit. (I have no clue why it's metric--I'd have bet my bike it was SAE, but it was metric. Huh. The bolt doesn't go...

I'm trying to install the Audiovox CC onto my FJR and have managed to drill the tang so that I could put the screw into the tang and the little holder for the beaded chain. Unfortunately, I find that when I open the throttle the screw & chain holder interfere with the throttle cable at 7/8 to...

Okies. Got the subframe back from the welder. IANAE, but it looks like he did a good job. Cost a smidge more than I wanted to pay ($125), but even so that beats buying a new or salvage subframe and reinforcing it after I bought it. He welded back together the subframe, added a piece of...

At that intersection there's a green arrow that then changes later to a green light. So at first the folks turning left have the right of way, then later they have to yield to oncoming traffic. Like this, but the arrow pointing left. It's like Fred & Toecutter were saying: It's not like it's...
