    LEDRider LED Floods and Spots - FJR Forum discount

    Ahhh, finally seeing the light on Cyclops! If only I hadn't had technical difficulties in Gerlach. . . . .ha. They be good lights for distance :) and can't beat lifetime warranty. Pair up beautifully with your lights. I like the idea of the project box kit. I go crazy with on the road tweaks...

    Gen 2 Frankentank

    Love the potential 11 gallon tank possibilities (especially for 2 up). Keep us posted.

    Opinions... 1st SS1k options.

    All good comments! Not necessarily. The SS series of rides are not what I call "series" rides, like the BBG multiples. Example: you could ride 400 miles in first 24 hours, 600 in second 24 hours and 2000 in last 24 hours and still earn a SS3k -- probably not wise and an unnecessary risk. A...

    Need help with selling price for my '06 FJR

    How fast do you need to sell? Before you defarkle perhaps get the dealer offer and post your expectation. It would be difficult to sell over $6k as there is more than a dozen AEs avail nationwide. After a couple weeks on forums, craigslist, eBay, cycle trader , probably wise to de farkle and...

    Is this the next helmet?

    If you normally scan something 30, 40, 60 (likely) degrees off axis and now put it in a helmet (in your FOV), it will be safer. The science has already been done on this. No self assessment necessary.

    Is this the next helmet?

    Regardless of what a company wants to call its product, what we are talking about here (especially as we compare to the aviation world) isn't a HUD at all but a helmet display (JHMCS is the popular navy, marine corps, and air force fighter device). An example of a HUD in our world, in my view...

    Come drink some POISON!

    Ahem. I was trying to help you through your question / non question. Hehe. Should be yippety fun

    Come drink some POISON!

    Did you somehow score Peter's tank? I believe it was Alan Rider's which was the first. I think I have #6. You should take that little rig to SOCAL and visit. 47 hrs and 51 minutes : Ocean City, MD to Oceanside. DAMHIK.

    Need Left Mirror for 08 FJR

    I collect Gen2 mirrors. Is your mirror glass intact? Is the 08 black? If yes, I can donate a different one to Garauld for my shipping cost. He paints beautifully . . . . Hmmm just thinking, probably be half price and look like new.

    FOR SALE: 2009 FJR AE

    Peter, Disregard my question on the origin of this bike. I knew it was Alan's cell but forgot you got the whole setup. Beyond tempted. JP MT

    Iron Butt Rally

    I know not what you speak or at least remember. . . Oh the other fun thing you can do on two wheels is set the throttle lock and shoot a stainless Kimber Custom Pro Carry II 1911 with the right hand. Back to regular scheduled IBR talk.

    Iron Butt Rally

    I think you should apply and go for it if you think you can appropriately manage any perceived/actual greater risk (from a crazy cert ride you might do anyway). I think that multi day rallies (I've only done two) are about the most fun thing you can do on two wheels. Oh the questions: I have...

    FJR Rear Suspension Adjustment

    And/or there's a RaceTech deal going on right now if you want to send your forks off and get a shock built just for you! Best money I've spent :)

    Sena F/W 4.3 beta

    Toggle over? Yeah, you just hit the jog dial once you are streaming. PC Settings are an easy way to add your three phone numbers for speed dial (different feature). Neither requires PC Settings (other than loading the firmware).

    Sena F/W 4.3 beta

    I'm sure anyone registered got this word. . . Two great features added: 3 number speed dial and music streaming to to an intercom paired pillion or rider. Very cool

    Going to the Dark Side

    Oh shoot forgot mpg, diameter, got it. I said "if" riding aggressively, perhaps I should of said when well loaded too. I think the standard sport touring would be negligible, I had to make her work very hard in third gear to get around RVs and such on lonely mountain roads. Felt very revved up...

    Going to the Dark Side

    Couple additional comments: Yes the water thing: on good pavement, I believe it is a displacement issue. I've gone through a lot of standing "road is flooded" two weeks ago (CA62) and it was a different machine. Also very nice in couple decent thunderstorms on Idaho last week. The lean thing...
