    ipod mounting hardware

    Etyomics come in different types. I use ER6s and, if anyone can find me a new pair for $80 please let me know, cause I paid $120 for each of mine.

    Breaking News on 2006 FJRs

    The Cycle Trader is showing that Broward Motorsports (FL) has two '05s (one ABS, one non-) on the floor. :o haven't called them to confirm, but the ad was placed last week. I got mine there, off of the floor (no PDP). :) ..it happens!

    ipod mounting hardware

    Like Randy said: Go the remote control way... I've had minis and regular iPod's lock up on me: that's one reason, but the best reason -for me- is that if I have the iPod in my jacket pocket, then the only thing I'm leaving at the bike is the remote (which nobody cares about since it is...

    Jacket review

    Cortechs are usually some of the best made, best thought-out jackets around. You can't go wrong and usually they're reasonably priced. my 2 cents... :rolleyes:

    FJR spotted in Ft. Lauderdale/Pompano Bch, FL

    I usually start out my Sundays by riding the 35 miles from Hollywwod to Everglades Holiday Park and I've yet to see more than two other FJRs out there. I usually ride with friends to Clewiston and back on the snake road, or down the trail to the Miccosukee Casino, for breakfast and haven't seen...

    Symax helmet owners read !

    I have read that the knock on some of these flip-up helmets (and I do believe that included the Sy-Max) is that some of the mechanisms were made of plastic. Some manufacturers use alloys. It's a balance between weight and strength, I guess. Motorcyclist mag did a few reviews on helmets a couple...

    Noise/Turbulence for '06 FJR1300

    As has been discussed ad nauseum here, the diff between the ST and the FJR are a matter of riding styles: the ST giving a bit more comfort on the long trek and the FJR being a lot more FUN! :D I put a slightly higher, and slightly wider, CeeBailey with a flip on my 05 and it made a great deal...

    06 glove box

    Might be a little early for this, but does anyone know if it will be possible to retrofit the 06 glove box (w/ 12v outlet) to the 05 fairing? I know it's kinda hard when there aren't any 06es out there, but I'm always amazed at the amount of knowledge on this board, so I wouldn't be...

    Truimph PDP

    I agree that Triumph doesn't know how to put on a show. I was always disappointed with their "tent" on my trips to Biketoberfest or Bike Week (Daytona). But they make very nice bikes, and their sales -in relation to their size as a manufacturer- are going extremely well. I agree, I think...

    1971-- FJR's long lost relative

    took a Suzuki GT380 (3cyl./2 stroke) from Denver, Co. to Madison, Wi and back, a long time ago in a life time far, far away. About 180 miles from Denver, I remembered I hadn't checked the oil tank at last fill-up. (Too much of a hurry to just get there!). HOLES ON ALL THREE PISTONS! :angry...

    Suzuki salesmen drooling over my '05 FJR

    thank you FJRZON for the heads up on this bike. if SuziQ does produce the Stratosphere for US consumption, it will certainly be a welcome addition to the sports tourer constellation. I'll certainly consider it worth a look or two. :clap: BTW Some people (me) might like the little lights on...

    Stock Bridgestones

    still waiting to hear about new FJR "specific" Pirelli Stradas. Someone mentioned this on a thread once before but haven't heard more. wearing second set of Bridgestones right now on the FJR. Putting a couple of extra pounds on front to see if it helps with the cupping problem. Have always been...

    Daytona-Orlando

    FYI: Anyone planning a trip to Daytona Beach this Spring might want to plan on a day in Orlando to catch the Guggenheim Museum's "Art of the Motorcycle" show. It's at the Orlando Museum of Art (2416 north mills road, orlando, fl) from January 2006 through July. this show has been around the...

    Doesn't anyone ever proof read anything anymore?

    justplain, if you find it scary that someone named Vinnie is teaching your grandkids then...here's something REEEALLY SCARY? :alien: My motto is "Question Authority?" I never bust them for being out of uniform I help them look for game cheats on the Internet and I play "Starway to Heaven"...

    Doesn't anyone ever proof read anything anymore?

    I'm sorry, you guys are absolutely right, enough of this thread BUT... I was looking at what toecutter posted and the explanation within and it struck a chord. I've been a teacher for 21 years and have been in the middle of the reading arguments "phonics v whole language" on several...

    Question about Trains and Motorcycle travel

    The Auto Train only goes N-S: Fla to Virginia and back. Unfortunately. I have wished I could take my bike out West, since it's a long way from Sout Florida, :blink: but we usually wind up trailering my bike when my wife and I go to the Four Corners area. The only way on train (West -or...

    Front tire cupping - why?

    my gosh, twowheelnut and rdfrantz: thanks for the treatises on the problem. I'm giving up books and just reading the forum posts. :o Mine has developed the same problem and I was told that the Pirelli Stradas do not have the problem as much. There was someone who wrote about meeting someone...

    Honda follows Yamaha's lead

    everybody chill! :agent: this bike will be big in the euro market, and will probably NEVER make it stateside. They love their scooters over there, and the Deauville -tho' it has the specs to make it here and sell quite nicely- has never been brought over. The suit looks like he could...
