    what's the best tankbag?

    I am waiting on my 06, but on my BMW R1150RT I loved the BIG MAC tank bag. It will work on the FJR and it does not touch the paint at all. It is great. I got mine from cyclegadgets.com I have no connection to them at all, except that I have bought many goodies from them. Anyways, give it a...

    You made it sound so easy that I just put in my order for a Morgan Carbtune with the pouch. I am looking forward to getting the 06 and starting some of my own maintenance.

    Spare Wattage in a stock FJR

    Wow, that isn't much. I was looking at the Gerbings and the Widder heated clothes and the Gerbings would draw 242 watts for my wife and I. The Widder would draw 181 watts. What do you all do to get more wattage? Do you install a different altenator?
