I guess I haven't had trouble with the silver 'surrounds' glaring or reflecting off the windshield...at night, I can generally see the light from the gauges reflecting, during the day I sometimes have some glare reflecting off the gauge 'glass'. Any 07 should have had the ECU and switch changed...

By and large, the biggest difference is color. According to our FJR comparison spreadsheet, the differences are a revised ABS system, scratch resistant coating on the windscreen, and new grips. There has been some noise made about differences in the throttle cam profile, but from what I've heard...

17 views and nothing. Am I low-balling the price too much, or is just that no one has one of these seats they are willing to part with? Maybe the 17 views are people double checking in case someone accidentally posted their 'for sale' seat in the wanted section... :)

I've seen a hi-viz orange one out in the wild as well...

I think the 'side vents' in the out position simply deflect more wind out around your legs, helping your legs stay warmer by virtue of significantly reducing the wind chill factor. I guess the air coming out of the fairing back there has probably been heated by passing through the radiator, but...

I was thoroughly annoyed when I got my Nuvi 205 and discovered it doesn't have a headphone jack. This means that although I often take it along on motorcycle rides, I really don't use it on the bike. It is better to have it along, though, in case of an unplanned route change or the need to find...

I think I remember someone on the forum doing a pressure test and deforming their tank... When you do a test, remember that the tank isn't meant, or rated, to hold any significant amount of pressure!

The only thing I can come up with is (and I'm thinking about bending sheet metal in a brake here), how are you going to bind the 'inner' flaps up (at the same point) without bending up the protruding portion of the bottom. Just as a test, I just took a hunk of scrap paper and cut and folded...

There's my dog enjoying some pillows. She really, really likes pillows, in fact at times I've come home and found that she has picked up all the pillows from all the furniture in the living room and piled them on one chair, and when I get home she's just laying on all the pillows and when I come...

That was covered in previous posts, answer is YES, most people have been doing this mod AFTER getting a the recall ECU.

It must be an optical illusion, or something with the screen capture, but it does look like the top is angled 'towards' us more than the bottom. Damn, it almost looks like what would happen if I tried to make a fuel cell!

I've been doing exactly what your agent is suggested with all my 'valuable' bikes (on my CB750, all I ever had was liability, since my deductible would have been more than the bike cost...) I didn't know the exact terms when I did it the first year, but I called them up and said that my...

On my carb'd bikes, running on reserve was something I did about once a week because I had used up the other gas... Your linky doesn't...linky...

Perhaps I was reading a different article, but I thought that although the peak power and torque were down slightly, gains were made elsewhere in the power range that they thought gave the bike a smoother curve with more usable power?

I sure hope so! I sent him a check for a rack oh..about a week ago. It did take him a little while to reply to my PM, how long has it been since you PMed him? I like to think he's busy making racks and painting stuff out in his garage, and he doesn't have time to check the forum every day. Or...

Also, keep in mind, there are non-DOT helmets out there, they are just required to be labeled as 'not for street use' or some such. I don't believe that there are any completely non-approved modular helmets, though, as the 'not for street use' are either real cheap kids dirtbike helmets or...

FOUND! Thanks forum! I'm looking for a Sargent seat. I've been watching the for sale section, and I'm annoyed that I just missed another one! So, if you are de-farkling your bike before you sell it, or if you got a Sargent and decided to get a custom seat, or for whatever reason you have a...

Well, we're going to have to get word from the officials, but we may have just set a record for the longest FNG intro post... :) Oh, wait, just got word that since it is a re-intro post, you've been disqualified...what a shame... So, you going to get to ride that thing any before the...

Well, this is an interesting idea, I've often looked at using an old goldwing system or a valkyrie system, but now that they aren't making those anymore, the prices are going up... If yamaha makes this system for the RSV, it's too bad they don't make it for the FJR!

Man, I would love it if they just made an updated version of my old CB750...something with electronic ignition, discs at both ends, fuel injection, and something close 100 hp and 50 or so ft. lbs of torque (at the crank is fine). Heck, I think I could even learn to live with a narrow radiator...
