    Forced off the road

    I have to wonder where in the f**k the bike rider learned to drive? It is illegal and imprudent to pass a string from the rear at any time. The driver ahead has the right of way for the pass and not some knucklehead who is gonna try on the whole group? They wanna outlaw bikes here and there and...

    Looks to me like all the suggestions added together equal a new BMW GT? Lotsa amps for plug ins and cruise control and electric heated seat and grips with plenty a beans to go on? Flint

    How about a saftey tip from each member?

    After reading all the 10 pages so far I can only offer this. I try and always remember to leave enough room between my front tire and any object I may encounter at any speed to still be able to stop. A good friend a few years back took a very nasty slide on the interstate after getting to close...

    2006 FJR1300A or 2003 BMW K1200GT?

    Just a couple quick thoughts here? I recently returned to Wyoming from a trip "back east." While in Indiana I wanted to go do a little lookee Lou at some new Beemers and went to Indianapolis to go to Revard's BMW. Guess what. They closed shop and peed on the fire and called in the dogs. So I was...

    Attention: FJRs owners riding in Oregon

    Ever wonder if they are regenerating all that cash they gave back to some folks in the TAX CUTS? I ride around America and it used to be pretty cool but anymore there are politzie all over the place. They are out there hiding in the cracks and crevices of the motoring highways and byways all...

    Stereo idea shot down?

    The joint here locally said they cannot figure out how to get the alternator whine out of my 2005 FJR with the Autocom Pro M 1? I am trying to run the Escort 8500 through it an utilize the communication and music and can't get diddly accomplished from here? Anyone know a great bike audio joint...

    My XM problem?

    I took the bike back to the shop and they have isolated the noise problem to the cables between the Autocom and the XM radio and the Autocom and the radar detector? They started unplugging devices until they got rid of the noise from the alternator and this is where it stands right now. It was...

    My XM problem?

    I don't really want it to blast me but to just be audible for motoring. I listen to Watercolors a lot and other just easy listin' kind a stuff when I am riding. Rock is for making time in the saddle. Biggie a course is having protection working 24/7. Flint

    My XM problem?

    I recently had the old Autocom Pro M1 from my last BMW installed on the FJR in the hopes that my Sky Fi XM radio and the Passport 8500 could both be interfaced through it to me. Welp I have no volume control on the radio and even with the 40 dolla Autocom noise filter I still have a huge amount...

It is just a metal shelf that sets above the dashboard and mounts to the two top outter panel screws and the one under the edge of the windscreen that holds the small...
