    GPS electrical help

    I finally got to install my GPS (zumo 550), replacing the stem nut cover, with one that has a ram ball. Now my problem is to hook the GPS to power. I can't seem to find a fused auxiliary plug on the bike to use for the GPS wiring. I am having hard time believing that FJR would not have one, my...

    How do vacuum cruise control units work?

    Thanks for all the replies. I am thinking about getting a CC, mostly for all reasons discussed above. I like taking long trips, I had a brakeaway on my previous bike, and I loved it. Probably the only thing I miss from my old bike. It didn't fit the FJR so I had to sell it. I see that the...

    How do vacuum cruise control units work?

    I see the installation tips/tricks, tutorials on the forum, and they are all fantastic. Taking one step back, how does the Audiovox CC100 work? or any Vacuum cruise control unit? What does the vacuum refer to in this context? Does it operate on the engine's vacuum? How does the electrical piece...

    Finally Finished. Carbon Fiber panels.

    Looks cool. How about the bags, maybe a matching accent would look sharp as well.

    How much oil is too much?

    I have seen others bringing this issue up before, and I am wondering how much exra oil is bad? Some members stated that if you put in as much oil as the users manual suggests, there will be no visible bubble left in the oil window. Well after my 600 mile service, I checked the window and there...

    How to get on the bike?

    This seems like a silly question but, we just upgraded from a much lower cruiser, and it seems pretty hard for my passenger to get on the back seat, that is without kicking any of the bags. We are using the technique we learned from an old couple riding a GS1200, where she steps in using the...

    loose screws

    Thanks again guys. After finding a security torx bit, I discovered mine were not "lock tite" 'ed either. I am not surprised really, in fact somewhat pleasantly surprised that the screws were on. Hah hah. Anyways thanks again, now they are properly secured. S.

    Gloss black Givi

    Coldcut, I am about to get one of these top cases as well, and I am confused about the rack. Their site has the two following racks: FJR Sport Touring Rack (smaller one) FJR Topbox Rack Which one did you use? If it is the first one, did you directly attach the bag to the rack using their...

    Gloss black Givi e52 on a 2008

    Does anyone have a glossy black givi e52 on a 2008? If you have seen one, does the color match? I see the 2008 bike have the metallic black paint on it, and I am not sure if the flat black top case would match nicely.. Thanks again. Serhan.
