    What Color to Paint Smuggler for 2015?

    Following up on the wrap - a couple of ideas, digital camo or a matte gray with a ghost Yamaha logo - this would allow you to introduce a little color or silver or gold logo. Hmmmmm I may have to chase this a bit further. The cool thing about the wrap - when you are tired of it peel it off - do...

    What Color to Paint Smuggler for 2015?

    Mine is the cerulean silver (which is silver but it has a hint of blue). I like how it looks with my blue 06. I think I would be tempted to go with a carbon fiber adhesive overlay - I would also carbon fiber the black bits on the bike to create some texture. In the end maybe paint isn't the way...

    Sena Communicator

    I rode with SMH10 units for a couple of year. Changed the base plate so I could use ear buds. At highway speeds the speakers just didn't cut it. Then I missed my speakers when just making a quick trip and didn't want to insert the buds. Upgraded to a 20s - that base can be speakers or ear buds...

    Electrical Power for Heated Gear - SAE, Powerlet, Cigar Plug ?

    I ran the rail mounted powerlet jack that is available from someone on the forum. You can get it in a single port or a dual port. Mine is positioned just aft of the seat release key. This allows me to run a short cable (18") which keeps things pretty handy - not long enough to touch the ground...

    2014ES Found on CL in Land of Cheese

    MNFJR05 isn't limited on his 2013 to 82 cruise. If memory serves he was the first or one of the first to swap out the ECU to remedy the issue.

    Suggestions for wiring corbin heated seat

    I would connect it to a switched circuit on a fuse block. Install an Eastern Beaver or other brand of fuse block - most of them offer a couple of un-switched circuits in addition to the switched circuits.

    Is this a norm? Jerky at low RPM (1-2 rpm)

    50 kmh is about 32 mph. I would be in higher rev 2nd or just into 3rd. I would think 4th gear would be very jerky - almost no throttle.

    Speaker ear plugs for motorcycles

    This is really a personal preference. Low profile (short bodied) ear buds work best for me. I bought a pair of the Shure SE215s and they are great set of ear buds. I struggle getting my helmet on with them. I went back to using the short bodied sennheisers.

    Battry tender connection pain

    He was mounting the pigtail. The first time getting into the tupperware can be intimidating. Taking apart without breaking and then trying to recall where and what order it goes back on.

    New 2017 FJR Announced, Raven it is!

    I was driving home from a business trip today and happened to pass a funeral home. All black suburbans and a hearse. I think I will refer to the 08, 09 and now the 17 as the morticians model. I would enthusiastically ride one.
