    Cold feet

    Eric, I am fortunate enough to have a nice collection of bikes to ride. Like many others on the forum, when I want to have some silly fun, I ride one of my Blackbirds, solo. My wife will only ride passenger on my FJR, (I just bought an '08 in addition to my '05) and we have taken quite a few...

    Electrical question

    When I installed a Back Off brake light modulator, and a Kissan self canceling relay on my '05, the hazard lights would no longer work correctly. Now that I am about ready to farkle up my '08, I plan on installing a Back Off modulator Audiovox CC (I saw the thread on the accessory relay...

    Accu-Gage Tire Pressure Gauge on the Fritz

    If your mechanical "tenderizing" of the gauge doesn't fix the problem, consider buying this one to replace it. It's one of the best! https://www.roadgear.com/catalog/detail.cfm?Prod_ID=262 Not just my opinion, either: https://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/digital-tir...accutire-gauge/

    FJRTom's Farkled 2008

    Thanks, Tom. I bought my CF covers for my XX from them. Thought there might be a stateside source for the product.

    Just curious, who is selling the CF clutch/alternator covers? :ph34r:

    Why not black?

    A bit of 3M reflective tape, judiciously applied, will solve that, easily enough. My '05 blue is just as fussy about staying clean, an occasional wipe with a California duster and some Honda spray polish :clapping: and your good to go. Besides, I would rather wipe off a solid continous...

    How do I connect my I-Phone

    I use the Shure noise isolating earbuds (SE310) on mine and purchased the Apple (Shure) adapter: https://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/Product...A_phone_adapter that lets you take calls while you ride. It has a microphone built into it with a wind guard that works pretty well. The whole system...

    Alarm advice please.

    I have installed a few of these, they work pretty well and have a reasonable range on the FM transmitter as long as you run the antenna lead properly. They have a winter special going on right now. I just ordered one for my new '08. Make sure you get the new style remote with the rechargeable...

    Electrosport dual filament HID kits

    Dale concurs with my opinion on the HID twin bulb capsules, both the twin HID version (H4-2), and the HID/Halogen version (H4L) (although I would be curious to find out if I could install a headlight modulator on the halogen circuit side of the unit) may not work well in a FJR headlight...

    NEW '08 owner

    Don't forget that your insurance rates take into account your age, driver's records, and the theft claims in the area that you live in. Besides, everyone that posted might have different policy limits, too. I absolutely agree that you should try to make sure they list the bike as a touring...

    Rifle Windshield

    I bought a smoked Rifle touring shield for my '05. The only time I regretted having installed it on the bike (other than days with severe cross winds) was when I got stuck on the highway one night in some heavy pouring rain. Due to the smoked nature of the screen, I was forced to make a...

    Where's the flasher relay??

    I did he Kisan self canceling flasher on my '05. Once you remove the windshield, there is a small cover held in place by a button head screw. IIRC, underneath that is a rubber sleeve that the flasher slip fits into. If memory serves me right, however, I believe that it is unfortunately not a...

    Electrosport dual filament HID kits

    The dual bulb kits are okay to use , but, they do not allow for a fast high/low beam switching as there is a lag time for the units to fire. The moving capsule units keep the same bulb position (the arc is not side by side and possibly off-center in the reflector) and can be thumbed high /low...

    08 prices

    I spoke to the dealership this morning. They may be able to do a couple more bikes (or so) at this price and mark it as a "show special", assuming anyone interested calls them quickly so that they can lock up the allocation. You should call and ask for Mike Bryant as Robert Ritchie is...
