    TREX bag guards for sale

    Darn, knew I shouldn't have worked late today. Just missed out, looks like. Really on the fence anyways on even using guards, but worth a try at this price.

    Dedicated GPS vs Cell Phone

    I had this very question / quandry when I got my new 18', two months back; whether to keep the 665 or start using phone. Seen a lot of guys use their x mounted phone, The Two Wheeled Obsession Youtube guy uses that set up; which got me to thinking. CON: Having traveled a lot over the past 5...

    Mirror Wideners by SW Motech

    Thanks RossKean for the working link...out of practice posting links I suppose. Good feedback....Didn't think the FZ-1 (what I meant when I typed R1-lol) mirrors would work on the 14 and up models; I do prefer the stock look as well. Will continue to play with the mirror angles. I also have...

    Congrats! Something weird or noticeable about the bikes Matte Finish.........it feels soft to the touch! Getting some serious farkeling done...... 1. Placed the distribution blocks under the seat; yes there is a ecu there, but just nicer setup. Easier to maintain. 2. Heat Trotter all set...

    Fair warning....that Matte Blue grows on you strong......it's questionable at first not seeing shiny, but the matte just gives a sweet different vibe.

    Phantom Blue Matte Paint encounter

    Tried searching ebay for that FJR in blue for the rear decal reflectors. All I have been able to find are the FJR in silver and emblem symbol in blue. Where did you find the one's you have with just FJR in blue?

    Phantom Blue Matte Paint encounter

    Thanks for sharing. I picked up the Harley spray code named "Denim". I did see the chemical guys youtube video on a super fancy car; had forgotten about it. May be the ticket to put the protectant on in this Texas heat. There does however appear to be a difference of approach. Some say wash...

    Throttle Body Sync Question

    If I may. After breaking in the new 18' was about to do the break in service, oil, filter, rear oil, check torque values on wheels, and of course Throttle Body Sync. Was watching TwoWheeledObsession video and he shows the sync on his 14' and he was saying the #1 cylinder (far left) was the...

    Made it to NC, dealer swears he had 5 offers/buyers waiting in line for this deal. Wouldn't budge on price. So $13,992 + 175 and we swapped cash for bike. Now on to TX after I go back and pick it up tomorrow. TX will be wanting their sales tax and registration fees soon. Ok, was on the fence...

    HealTech Quickshifter

    Tested that feature when test riding the 2017 BMW at Sturgis. Kinda freakish, but easy to get used to, thinking I still prefer the clutch action.

    Yep fees, and the topper is...it's not a Yamaha dealership. It's at a BMW-Ducati dealer, imagine that. They say customer bought it, and turned it in to them. Anyways.....got a couple days to tune the offer. Appreciating the feedback.

    Yea, the color is intriguing. Unfortunately no one has one I can see. Hope it's astonishing in person as it is on screen.
