    My new antenna bracket!

    Wanted to put a Ham radio ant on the FJR. Had just gotten a GIVI rack for a SHAD topbox. Had an old desktop computer shelf that attaches under a table to use for parts/fabrication. So far it works great though I will keep an eye on the antenna attachment point to make sure it doesn't start to...

    Gen 1 rider's seat choices

    Well, after some use now, I can say that I'm very happy with the Corbin seats on the FJR. The Corbin on my Duc was more functional than comfy but this one is a pleasure to ride.

    Gen 1 rider's seat choices

    I used a Corbin on my Ducati 916 for 10 years very happily and just got seats for my FJR. I have the opportunity, living relatively close, to go in for a custom fit so I can't really say what the "stock" fit is like. Try some of the different ones out if you've any others of the FJR group...

    Corbin Seat

    I'm lucky to live a couple of hours from Corbin. I called ahead to let them know I was coming in for a "ride-in" and they had the base and padding fitted and ready, saving some time if you just showed up out of the blue. I tried it out and had adjustments to the shape made right there. A few...

    Escort Radar Detectors

    I've got my 9500ix wired into a Sena SR10 and bluetoothed to a Sena SMH10. I have the Escort turned all the way down and is still too loud. :blink: Looking for a fix now.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Nothing. I'm on the E coast and my bike is on the West. Be home on Sat honey.

    Sena SMH10B Review

    I've been using the SMH10 for a while with a droid and love it. I recently got an SR10 to add on Ham, RD, and GPS. I now have to figure out how you guys are "prioritizing" things and I'll be good to go.

    Put on Givi rack and waiting for the Shad top case. Figuring out how to mount a 2m/440 antenna. Troy

    Gen I noise question

    Thanks guys for the specific info. Yeah, the idle is 1100 and I'm planning a TB synch in the near future since I've never done it before. Wouldn't hurt to take a look at the cam chain. Troy

    Gen I Electrical for Ham Radio?

    Yes, perfect. I was curious if anyone had had any issues. 7 amps on TX for this one. People use a car tire on the FJR so maybe a car battery....... :P

    Gen I noise question

    Ok, so I've read extensively about the ticking issue and some about CCT issues but not sure my "noise" fits and would ask for opinions please. No ticking/noise on start up, becomes more pronounced just after initial warm up but can't be heard in any RPM range after engine is hot. I get done...

    Gen I Electrical for Ham Radio?

    I want to put a 65w 2m on the bike drawing directly from the battery and have heard the alternator is a bit weak, relatively, to the Gen II. My question is about anyone's experience or issues with an amateur radio setup on the Gen I. Thanks, Troy
