    She finally arrived 7 days late

    Congrats to the Zilla family. Brings back memories, although since my youngest is now 18, they are memories of times when my hand wasn't always digging into my wallet like it is now that they are older.

    Any CPAP user on the East Coast

    Try here. They ship internationally, with very few exceptions, and will price match any cheaper offers. No affiliation, other than I have a friend who uses a CPAP machine, and gets her supplies from them.

    Nova Scotia Road Trip July 2009

    Correct me if I am wrong here Scott, but I was under the impression that these stops were mandatory. :clapping: Pete

    Cruise Control to replace Throttlemeister

    I would remove the Throttlemeister, take the bike into the dealer and have them install the grip heaters, then take the bike back home and re-install the Throttlemeister back on the bike yourself. Alternatively, you could always find another dealer. As others have mentioned, Throttlemeister and...

    Nuvi 780 Bluetooth

    Sounds to me like you have an issue with either mic placement, wind noise coming into the helmet, or a settings issue somewhere. Alternator noise normally manifests itself as a whine that varies in pitch relative to engine speed. Have you tried the phone directly into the Autocm, bypassing the...

    Heated Factory Yamaha grips and Throttlemeister

    Another AE with factory heaters, grip puppies and throttlemeister and never had an issue hot or cold.

    There will be more details forthcoming, however we are still at the early planning stages and still looking for as much input from others that know the general area. Watch this space, and check ya PM's.

    Givi V46 With Cerulean Silver Cover

    As Bob has already pointed out, it's real easy to do. I recently did a write-up of the installation of LED's to my V46, which illuminate the entire reflective area as both running and brake lights. Still trying to find the time to add turn signals into the mix, but will update when that is...

    Wireless Headphones

    The Sennheisers are the ones I spec out to clients, and have installed many sets of them with zero problems. Yeah, they only take their own rechargeable batteries, but those last for several years. I have a few sets in a couple of dental surgeries for patients to use while undergoing treatment...

    Considering an 08' AE

    I shared your concerns prior to buying my 07 about a year ago. Took me all of about 15 minutes to get used to the lack of a clutch lever. Using the paddle shifter, I did accidentally hit the horn button on a few downshifts, until I realized I could use my forefinger on the front paddle for...

    Anyone hear what I hear?

    I have noticed a noise similar to what you describe, however mine was coming from the rear of the bike. I finally traced it down to the siren of the aftermarket alarm system that I had installed near the tailight assembly under the seat. Sounded a bit like someone shaking a rattle can of paint...

    Whistle seems fixed

    New FJR Owner....

    It took me about 15 minutes in total to install both risers. Hardest part was cutting the wire retainer for the control cables, (which gets discarded), and even that was easy. No replacing or rerouting of original cables is required. Installation instructions can be found here. Scroll down to...

    New FJR Owner....

    Welcome Hamie, and congratulations on the new ride. I have the same bike, with grip puppies and the Gen-Mar risers. I also adjusted the bars to the rear position, and now have zero pressure on my wrists/hands while riding. Huge difference from stock. The more you ride this bike, the bigger the...

    Risers

    I have a set of the Gen-Mar risers on my '07AE which I picked up through the forum (Thanks Mark). They were about a 15 minute install, and my wrists have thanked me on several occasions already. Sure, they are not as pretty as the Heli clamp, and they do not offer any additional stiffening of...
