    '06 FJR linked brakes must be OK

    I went Sat to a local parking lot to practice emergency braking. Started slow speed stops but eventually got up to 50 and then grabbed & stomped everything for all its worth. I could feel the stutter of the ABS but stopped in a dead straight line every time. ...after about 4 of these I was...

    Autocom issues

    Agree with Charlie. Autocom has a windsock cover for their microphone if you don't want to make one. it solved almost all my issues. I eventually also disconnected the "background" mic that goes in the helmet for noise cancellation. This resolved the rest of my problems. good luck

    Mapsource

    Yes Bluestreek that will work but something to consider... 1. the route picked may not be the one you want to take (eg it might select the superslab as opposed to the twisty country road right next to it). 2. more importantly to me, it will use a "via" point as opposed to a "waypoint". All...

    Mapsource

    If I understand you correctly, Instead of adding in a new route and having to delete a portion, you can have Mapsource redraw the route you already have. So if you want to go a dfferent way than you initially selected, or if you don't like the way the computer selected. Bring the route up on...

    Garmin Sunshade

    You can make one easily out of Kydex and a heatgun. any shape / any size. It is the same stuff all the "plastic" the inside of your car is made out of. small sheets can be bought from knife/sheath making sites on the web. occassionally ebay will have some for sale. 0.060 to 0.080 thickness...

    Motion Based

    I have not seen anyone else thread about this thought I'd go ahead and give everyone a heads up. If you have a GPS unit on you bike, this is really cool. You can download your trip and view it in MotionBase (www.motionbased.com). You can then watch it in the "map player" and see the little...

    FJR1300 Exhaust Systems - Group Buy

    ok, I'll ask a stupid question because that's what I'm good at and have had a lot of practice: These exhaust offer performance and cosmetic advantage, but are they much louder than stock? I like it quiet; l prefer to sneak up, around, and through without anybody noticin' If I thought "loud...
