    Any Alternative to Corbin Smuggler?

    I've been called many things, but the cat's ***?? That's a new one. OK, here's my rear trunk. Made from a Shook Designs Speedpac. The Yamaha lock is incorporated into the tank and rear storage. No, I'm not making any more. You're looking at the only two in existence. 1st pic shows the two...

    "No part in the country"

    My switch failed in June '05 with approx 12k on it. I got stranded at Americade and had to leave the bike. I called Yamaha directly and they told me they would "redirect" another switch coming from Japan for another bike to the dealer working on mine. I asked why they wouldn't stock plenty of...

    tank slapper protective film

    I bought the kit when it first came out. Every piece was Tankslapper, not 3M. It lasted all of a week. Biggest piece of crap I ever wasted money on. Trust me when I say it was installed surgically. There seemed to be no (or not enough) adhesive on the Tankslapper pieces. One of the 3M pieces...

    numb throttle hand gone forever

    Hey Stu baby, think you're tickled with THAT farkle? Try a set of "Tacki Grand Touring Grips". You'll thank me later. This info is coming from a confirmed carpal tunnel sufferer in BOTH wrists. Bar risers did nothing. The Grand Touring grips solved the problem immediately.

    Horn

    FWIW, Bosch is now out of the relay biz. They sold out to Tyco, who now makes the same high quality relay as the original. I now use only Tyco relays in my harnesses. I used to use Bosch until they changed hands and became unobtanium.

    Finally Finished. Carbon Fiber panels.

    I'm blown away. Being a carbon fiber/firberglass nut I can appreciate the time and effort involved. Did you make molds for everything, or did you mold right over the parts? And do these carbon pieces come off the original, or are they attached permanently? Jeez..and I thought my home made...

    Horns? Loud Horns!

    That is correct. The two replacement horns mount back in the factory horn locations. Then you run new, heavier gauge wiring and a relay to get the loudest possible output.

    WTB Gen 1 lefthand mirror

    Heidi, am I to understand you'll be heading up the I95 corridor sometime soon? Lemme know, I have both sides here doing nothing. You could do a pitstop in Jersey and keep going to your destination. Randy

    Grounding J&M CB Antenna

    What gauge ground strap did you use? You need 10 ga. minimum. You also need a 12' CB cable minimum. Frame ground under the seat is perfect. DO NOT ground the antenna to the battery.

    What are you paying for insurance

    Just got the bill due 4/18. $408/yr for two bikes. Proformance Ins. The FJR has full coverage and the WR250F (registered) is liability only.

    Is this the wireless communication system

    Don't go selling off your old Autocoms yet folks. I just picked up a Bluetooth kit that I think will literally plug right in. And it has a display! I'll post up after I play around with it this weekend. I think I might be on to something here.

    Previous Bike

    I actually had two I sold to buy the FJR. Only way the wife would agree on the purchase. 1983 XJ900R SECA and a 1985 V-Max. The Seca gave me the sport touring bug, so the timing was right to put money down and wait for the '03 FJR to come out. Well worth the wait, obviously. Sure wish I coulda...

    Bluetooth FRS/GPRS Radio?

    Some time in the near future when time and money (mostly money) allow, I'm going to invest in a bluetooth hands free "car" kit and attempt to wire in a 2.5mm female plug that incorporates the mic and speaker connections so you can just plug the older Autocom phone plug right in. So far I can't...

    Apex battery

    He won't get the discount, it's too late. Jeff already explained this to me, stating there's no way to "add" the discount once the order is placed. It's up to the person placing the order to include the discount at the time of the order or, as they say, you're SOL. BTW, I'll be ordering a...
