Well, I can imagine that the cost is studying each bike and getting the specific connections for each would not be cost effective. It's not a standard connection and the are so many different bikes even within the same brand. Let say however that they were to concentrate on the top 20 or 30...

I agree on the splicing, and I have made harnesses for other applications for the same reason. Just didn't for this one. When and if I do remove it, it's a matter of just plugging in the wires back i to each other after removing the unit, as I made specifically that way - just in case it had...

I installed an STS on my ’18. I didn't have the harness that is being discussed here, but I did use connectors all the way around so if I wanted to remove it, all I would have to do is unplug the STS and replug the bypass wires. Doing the installation one by one wire at a time with connectors...

I also have an '18 with similar setup, and I agree on a similar experience. I'm 5’10“ and usually around 180#. The issue is there, and as I said earlier in the thread, I've experienced this in a number of bikes. On this FJR I've had Dunlop OEM, 1 set of Avon, and finally settled on Pirelli Angel...

Thanks. Please contact me with details.

And I went the opposite - when my wife decide she couldn't ride anymore, I felt the GW was more bike than I wanted to haul around for just 1. It was an excellent bike and I loved it. The FJR is a perfect replacement, I actually refer to it (jokingly) as a mini-GW. My GW was well traveled over...

I know what you mean! I had a green w/white roof - as plain as it could be inside, just like a go cart 😁

Mine is the matte blue '18 and I already have a Corbin 2pc sadddle. Does the saddle model matter? Does it include whatever hardware is required toount it? Does anyone know if this is compatible with the Givi trunk support/mount system? I may be interested, please PM me about price and location.

Another lesson is to activate the ABS regularly to keep those from accumulating, and flush the system as mentioned. And you learn what it does. Do this is a safe area of course, not while on the road... This applies to cars as well. On a related note, for those who are not familiar with ABS...

I am curious too - from the looks of it I believe it's an aluminum oil filter protector cover that also has cooling fins to help cool the oil. Or could be vice versa... 😁 It's the first time I see something like this on an FJR

I also have a bit of this on my '18, but not of a concern as I usually ride with my hands on the handlebars. 😁 New tires make a bit of difference for a while, but it does return. It's always at about that 30~40 mph range, I've never had it happen when I take may hands off at 80+ mph. Sometimes...

Using Torches' recommendation is a very possible way to get that bolt to grab the thread, I've been there. However, do not use the impact gun without being very sure that you have threaded the bolt well into the damper. If it get cross threaded, you'll have whole other headache. Impact tools are...

You had a CB radio on you bike ? 😳

Right, i get that. But in 4th gear? Why when it will do it just as well in 5th without pushing the engine to the limit...

I know these get up there, 145~150 is not unheard of. But 140+ in 4th? You must have been close to red lining, no?

When I have run wires from the front to the back of the bike for purpose such as this one and other accessories, I have always sleeved the the wires for additional protection. It is a good idea to do that to avoid direct friction with the wires and it looks cleaner. I would recommend (if you...

What are these bra and tank bags by Linda? Never heard of them

Yes, 24 hrs in a day - it's not impossible, but would it be enjoyable? Prob not so much. Now, if all one wanted is to say it was done, then absolutely yes. I was just up there last week and did Skyline starting at the north end, and partial BRP (which have I done numerous times). There were at...

So that said, do you think you would have been able to do Skyline in the same day as well?

For my top case, albeit aftermarket (Givi) but applicable to OEM as well, I made a small hole through the mounting base plate through which I passed a bolt with a small hole in it. Made a matching hole on the bottom of the top case and the bolt passes through it when you attach the case. Inside...
