    DaJuice and Cruzin need a fuel cell

    I am very interested in seeing details of how the cell is mounted (see my thread here), so pictures would be much appreciated! :)

    Mounting a Jazz Fuel Cell

    I have a 4 gal. gravity-feed Jazz fuel cell that I sometimes mount on my '07. I have a few issues with it and before I go back to the guy that made the mounting plate for me, I want to ask for opinions here. Here's the current setup: The mounting plate viewed from the top, rear: And...

    Friend considering a motorcycle

    I am totally amazed that this question is even asked. It must be an American cultural thing. Doubt about letting a buddy ride pillion with you? WTF?! Are you guys unsure about your manliness or something? Unbelievable! :evilsmiley03: :lol:

    FJR vacation swaps?

    V-Strom hand guards and Throttlemeister

    The hand guards sure work with the Throttlemeister. I don't have an AE, so can't answer that part.

    Passing other vehicles on two lane roads

    WTF? Passing on a two lane road is such an everyday occurrence for me, I don't even think twice about it. The USA must sure be a strange place to ride a bike if this is an issue over there?

    Hauling an FJR in Ford 150 PU Truck ?

    This is how I did it when I had to take a pick-up to Windhoek earlier this year: There were no hooks in the bottom of the box, but the cattle grid helped. The main tie-down was around the front forks (I took the front mud guard off). I used 7 in all, 5 of which you can see in the photo. I...

    OEM Yamaha heated grips

    Well, if you turn them on, they heat your hand grips :D . The ones I have have a dial where you adjust the temperature and I have never had the need to turn it past the halfway mark. Very much. Very well. Dunno, mine came standard with the bike. The shop had to replace the right-hand one...

    Farkling for a BBG3000

    I recently completed a Bun Burner Gold 3000 (3000 miles in 48 hours) - paperwork still to be done and accepted. I wrote a ride report here, but thought I'll tell a bit about the preparation in this forum because of all the great this forum has been in the process. I bought my new '07 Yamaha FJR...

    Burned My Boot Heel

    And if you ever ride with a pillion, I'd recommend a set of these. Saved my wife's boot heels on more than one occasion.

    England about to kick off in world cup rugby final again

    Respectable score indeed. Good contest that had me worried, despite our lead, right to the end. Like I said, a massive comeback from that 36 - <watchimacallit>. Oh, and my sympathies - does not look like Hamilton is going to make it either. Pity - I was rooting for him too.

    England about to kick off in world cup rugby final again

    He, he, no mud required, just spectacles. :)

    England about to kick off in world cup rugby final again

    Oh, come on! You'll definitely need your eyes tested. His left foot touched the side line, ball (in his hands) still not touching ground. Then his feet lifts up and over the line before he puts the ball down. There is absolutely no doubt that it was not a try. Yes, if there wasn't that...

    Givi trunk V46 for '04 FJR

    Or alternatively, in stead of the SR346, get this rack from Premier Cycle Accessories and the E250 universal mount from Givi and you are sorted. Pictures and more are in this thread.

    What's your pick for "Story of the 2007 IBR"?

    VStrom hand guards - any negatives?

    Thanks for going to the trouble to take a photo. I did not think of cutting the end off completely, duh. I take it this does not affect the integrity of the guards too much? No wobbling in the wind. :) Oh, and pardon the late reply, did not have time to get back to the forum earlier :(
