Sure can't hurt to try; if your weather is as beautiful as ours is in CenCal today, any excuse is a good excuse to ride!

Holy crap! I feel like a jerk, but I've been so swamped that I've hardly had time to check in lately. That, good sir, is truly a thing of beauty! Nice work! So..... How about a GenI model & a group buy? ;)

Hey Alex - I talked to the folks at Sampson about increasing the capacity a bit, and they were willing but not particularly enthusiastic. His response was, "Sure, but if half a gallon makes a difference you are probably planning your ride poorly." Hmmm. Here is a link to the BLM FJR cell...

Just received mine this morning - echoing everyone else's comments, these are brilliantly simple and beautifully made. Well done, and thanks again!

I just found out that Hollywood Yamaha will be closing their doors in the very near future. :bye2: I love those guys, and I'm sad to see one of the last "little guys" in SoCal fall victim to this crappy economy. If you loved 'em too, you may want to go say your farewells sooner rather than...

My Throttlemeister seemed like was ALWAYS loose when I wanted to use it. They have/had a no-questions-asked return policy, so after I'd had mine for over a year I finally called and told them about the problem and said I wanted to return it. They didn't have any advice on how to stop it from...

I talked to the guys at Warn & Safe the other day - their battery packs only last 1-3 hours, depending on how hot you are running your gear. Bummer.

You have the subtitle "Too many farkles?" What farkles do you have? I recently got a little lazy and stopped taking all my goodies off each night. I found that my battery was draining, and after making a couple phone calls I found out that things like my radar detector actually draw a small...

When I fist got my seat, I wasn't that fond of it. My left leg kept falling asleep, and even at 6' I was on my tip toes at a stop. I kept telling myself, just a thousand miles... Just 1500 miles... I considered sending it back for modifications, but I'd done a ride-in for the original build...

Yep, they can tend to block access to the ignition. It's not terrible, but you will have to get used to working around it. How much interferance will depend on whether you use the short or long stem and how you adjust it. I still really like my stem mount, though, and it isn't enough to deter...

Nine! Only 7 are in the pic. She was due on Saturday, so it was a gamble for me to make the run down to Pinks. I'm glad that it all worked out in the end. (And I think maybe "Dogtacular" was the word you were looking for.)

For anyone who was dying to know, Sprocket kept up her end of the bargain. Her first puppy was born at 1am this morning and her last was born at 11am. I'm sure she kept me up all night since I didn't actually specify what time on Monday I wanted them born, but hey - I'm just glad she held off...

I'm 6' with a 32" inseam. Like FJRB0, I installed the highway pegs first in an attempt to make the stock seat less painfull. After getting the Russell, I rarely use the highway pegs. I did a ride in appointment for mine because I have broken my back and pelvis, and as a result sit hanging off...

Whoops - I totally misread that question the first time. Reading comprehension is everything!

Ain't she a beut? Leather inserts with Vinyl sides, and a lot of extra space in the rear so he can slide farther away from the tank. The Beer Gut Cut, I believe it's called. Now he can stop whining about needing to borrow mine all the time!!

I have a Techmount clutch perch base for the 2730, and a Techmount steering stem base for the Zumo. I used the short stem for the Zumo at first, and I liked that one better because it was easier to see my speedo/tach/etc. I switch to the long stem because I got a taller tank bag and the short...

Got the hubby's seat back yesterday & it's fantastic! Thanks again Howard for all your hard work! :clapping:

This looks like my Doran monitor - I wired mine to be hot all the time, with a switch. That way if I'm preparing for a big trip of whatever, I can kick on the monitor without having to leave the whole bike on for up to six minutes (as in with a system switched hot) and make sure I don't need to...

The hubby's build date was Nov. 11 and I just got a call that it's done and on it's way back! Woo Hoo! I was worried that I was going to have to loan him my FZ1 for the ride to Pinks. :good:

The hubby wants to install these spade lights into his saddlebags - and I think he actually wants them more now that he's realized that the $120 is just for the frenchies, and the lights themselves are $450. They would look pretty cool, but $600 worth of cool? Personally, I'd take $50 worth of...
