    Radar detector

    Probably because V1 is the only one that indicates direction of the beam, and probably because it's the only one that provides detection from the rear, and probably because it has the best POP detection on the market, and probably because it is the only manufacturer that allows owners to send in...

    Why Buy an FJR?

    My 07A is the first bike I've ever owned. My reasons for buying: sports look, chicks dig it, two-up capability, easy maintainance, boatload of horsepower & torque, adjustable windscreen, low insurance rates, great gas mileage, luggage cases that are very functional and match the bike's sports...

    New Helibar Group Buy (Ends June 30th 2009)

    UPS delivered mine today! I'm excited to try this. This past weekend I did a 900 mile excursion to Santa Fe and back to Denver. Every now and then I noticed the vibration and wished it wasn't there. I do have grip puppies and the heavy bar ends by salamander but would like to have less...

    Cheap *** farkles.

    What part of "Cheap *** Farkles" do you not understand? :lol: The throttle lock is Jestal's creation. Who, by the way, has contributed greatly to this board in the areas of oil, gas, filters, engineering, etc. Maybe you owe him an apology. Are you knocking God's blessing in my life? By...

    Throttle farkleage

    +1 TSU I have factory heated grips thus the G2 isn't an option - installed the PCIII which made a huge difference.

    Cheap *** farkles.

    Great idea twistedcricket and flowback on the tape. I never knew F1 drivers use ductape. The throttle lock (which is simply a coat hanger) is wrapped around the throttle and the protruding ends rest upon the brake caliper. There is enough friction between the hanger and throttle so the throttle...

    Anyone tried adding a steering head damper?

    I replaced the oem with avon storms. Though I have no experience with bike tires to provide a reliable review, I can tell you the storms are a HUGE improvement over in the oem in cornering, wet & dry braking, and in the rain.

    New Helibar Group Buy (Ends June 30th 2009)

    I placed my order 1 min ago with someone besides Jennifer. I was informed, just as Clock655 was, that if they receive all 10 orders today then they will ship today via ups.... if not then tomorrow. It would be nice to have these before the weekend!! Slackers... get on the phone! (edit) #7...

    Cheap *** farkles.

    I'm all ears. The money I didn't spend on the $85 radiator guard, $40 helmet lock, $100-125 throttle bar end, and $20 sun visor.... plus shipping..... is being used to buy the Heli triple clamp in the current group buy.

    Cheap *** farkles.

    Throttle Lock: Many thanks to Jestal for his great idea for a cheap *** throttle lock!! Thanks to Mattster31 for his feedback on his two-year use of it so I did this today. I added electrical tape to prevent the end of the coat hanger from ripping my gloves and to help hide it from view...

    dropped my FJR

    Meguiar's Scratch X. The stuff works. My fairing dropped onto the gravel (forgot the last screw I was taking out was the last screw) and it got dinged in several places. My nephew scraped his shoe across my tank and scratched the tank. The guys at the dealership, when putting my bike together...

    Billy Mays is dead!

    Billys Mays is gone. Didn't guy just get re-married a few years ago? The news reported that while he was on a plane that a bag fell from the luggage compartment and hit him on the head... so far the incident has not be related to his death. This is how Liam Nelson's wife was killed (not by...
