    Getting my FJR Home – First Three Rides

    Congratulations on a safe ride home with your new Feejer. Thanks for posting up your interesting ride.

    A Rare FREE Accessory

    I'm interested in the circumstances that lead to the need for this "accessory". My usual routine is: turn on motorcycle ignition switch, start motorcycle, ride motorcycle, park motorcycle, turn off motorcycle ignition switch. Send me your routine and I'll provide you with a new one for $1.00...

    brakeaway cruise control

    If you like quality engineering and build, it is a great item. But it is not a cruise control. It is a throttle lock (the best available). Big difference. If the road goes up, or down, you will have to adjust accordingly. While I have one, most of my riding is on less than flat roads, so I...

    Accident on Wed - and it went well, relatively speaking

    That's some scary stuff. Glad you aren't too much the worse for wear.

    Colorado, Wyoming, Utah

    Great photos and report. With every report from out West my itch to ride out that way gets stronger. Thanks for sharing.

    Saddlesore 1600

    Great ride and great report. Enjoyed reading about it. When I read a report like yours it really gets me charged up! Threw the light switch to my Hella Xenons on for the first time just an hour ago, thanks in part to your great description of the relay wiring. Thanks again.

    Morning Ride to Mt. Baker

    Very nice report! We have some real nice roads here in the Southeast, but you folks out West sure have the best scenery.

    WFO Ride report

    Remind me why I don't live out there.... We do have some great roads here in the east (NC, GA, TN, etc.) but the scenery just isn't the same. Thanks for the photos.

    Engine light on

    You never sit still, do you Brick? I envy your miles on the FJR. By the way, that PCIII will take care of the on/off throttle. After I installed a PCIII I sold my G2 throttle tube! Safe travels to you.

    Hella DE Xenon lights

    Thanks Bungie! You've been a big help. I was thinking along those lines, but your concise description really helped me understand what was happening in there and how it should be wired. Now to stock up on connectors and get those wire cutters out. I hope that by the end of the weekend I'm...

    Hella DE Xenon lights

    So the relay has power coming to it from the battery (or fuseblock in your case) via a red wire, and then the yellow wire could attach to the highbeam wire coming off of the highbeam/lowbeam switch? Have I got that correct?

    Hella DE Xenon lights

    Bungie, I assume you used the relay supplied with the lamps. What does the yellow wire from the relay connect to? That has me stumped. The wiring diagram indicates that it wires into the headlamp wiring somehow.

    Photos of my HID driving lights

    I'm confused by the wiring diagram. Did you use the battery as your hot source? My real confusion is where the yellow wire off of the relay gets connected.

    Hella DE Xenon lights

    Furthermore, looking at the wiring diagram, it looks like you are supposed to run a wire from the positive battery terminal and also tap into the switched power to the high beam. My thinking is that the relay must draw power from the battery to run the lights, but the relay doesn't switch that...

    Hella DE Xenon lights

    A number of us bought Hella DE Xenon lights a few months ago after a post (Bramfrank's?) noted the good price on EBay. Has anyone mounted these things yet? I'd welcome any suggestions. I can't figure out where to mount the ballasts, which are too thick to go in the nose.

    Gen II ground spider discussion (bench racing)

    Thanks guys. It was opposite the S4, tucked way under the harness. Found it and serviced. Thanks again.

    Gen II ground spider discussion (bench racing)

    I just installed Brodie's harness, and was glad to see that everything looked good--no corrosion or melted wires. Brodie suggests servicing S5, but I can't find a picture of its location. Can anyone help me find this bastage?

    Cant' get seat lock to work

    On my '06 (Gen II), the key goes in until it is about 1/16" shy of the final step up on the key.

    Grounding Harness

    Brodie, It is encouraging to see pictures of you in a thread seemingly doing well after your accident. I installed my harness today, and you mention to service the S5 spider, but you don't have a picture of its placement. Where the heck is S5 hiding? Do I have to remove any additional...
