    Top Boxes

    +1 on what madmike said...you'll have to do a good visual inspection to see if it's even feasible; I would think in the 'best case scenario' you would need to fabricate a mounting/adapter plate out of mild steel or thick (technical term there :D ) aluminum, then have it polished/powder...

    Sick of heat, sick of buffeting behind fairing

    FrankenFJR! You're braver than I am....I couldn't have done it if someone had a gun to my head... Um, wait a minute...the jury will disregard that last statement.... I'll give you this..you'll have the only one! Are you sure you just don't want to get one of these? Then I re-read your...

    Shad Top Case

    Um, having a Shad on your FJR....it's just not doing it for me...maybe try a Bass instead... ON A SERIOUS NOTE, THOUGH, your setup does look good. Just a couple of years ago I saw a pic of a Shad case on an 03 or 04 FJR and it didn't look as good (to me)..must have been a different model...

    Sub-woofer quit working

    -could be that the power supply itself (inside the speaker cabinet) has gone out; perhaps even the voice coil in the speaker... you might consider opening up the cabinet (if you can do so without damaging it) and checking for a fuse. (sometimes on items like these the manufacturer will install a...

    Engine vibration/ Heat between seat and tank

    Hey, that's MISTER :asshat2: to you, motoskir.... :lol: Oh, and FYI I could care less about 'rank' or post count...but I can't pass up an opportunity for a laugh...even a cheesy one. But if those kind of responses tick you off, well, good luck at this place. Here, you will find an...

    Engine vibration/ Heat between seat and tank

    Yeah, the 'ole heat issue...great responses there. But since you're a FNG, I'll help you out with the vibration. First, you'll need to remove the battery, then find this component: (for clarity I photographed it the last time I had it out of my 05) Following service manual guidelines, reset...

    Billy Lane Accident?

    No surprises here....all the times I saw him on the Discovery shows he was always hanging out at ***** bars getting loaded...after riding his bike there...obviously a whole camera crew was always with him. You would think they wouldn't let him ride out of there wasted. I always laughed at his...

    Russell seat pics

    I did a ride-in, had it reserved about 2 months in advance; great experience, had my personal info (that I had sent in previously) on their counter, ready to go. Was raining that day, they cleared a sheltered area for me. Job was finished same day, ahead of schedule. All the employees I came in...

    Russell seat pics

    Sorry to disappoint you, but no, I'm not gay...ask my wife! I'm an RBAM (Red-blooded American Male). Although I had just washed & waxed the bike....uh oh.. :dribble: You can actually 'move around' on the seat since it is leather; (i.e. the leather doesn't provide 'too much' grip, in my...

    Russell seat pics

    Yes, it is higher than stock; I have not measured it, but I would estimate it to be about 1/2 - 3/4 inch higher. Its many times more comfortable than stock, everything I expected; but since it is higher, I'm now 'up' on the balls of my feet at stops- (FWIW....I sit forward on the bike, hugging...

    Russell seat pics

    Finally got around to uploading these; got the seat this June. Overall view: Closeup of the seat..the stitching is what Russell calls 'half-moon'. I think it looks sharp; I'm sure others might prefer a different pattern.

    Steve Irwin...Crocodile Hunter

    Crikey! In all seriousness, though...I was saddened when I read this. Crocodile hunter What a shame..the guy always brought a stupid grin to my face. You had to admire his passion for his work; hopefully his wife & kids are taken care of financially.

    Too Easy

    @Lerdog All I can tell you is... Don't let the virtual door hit you in the virtual *** on the way out! :P Speaking for myself... I love this bike! I enjoy riding it, working on it, customizing it... to suit me! It was 'great out of the crate' now 'sparkles with farkles'... And to...

    For Kirk and the other fallen brothers

    As you said...very bizarre...and sad. What a wake-up call...my father had his own water well supply business for 25 yrs. and saw the aftermath of a 525 gal. water well tank that over-pressurized at a rural school. A pressure control relay had been jumped intentionally by a well meaning custodian...
