    Ig-e Evaluation of Lighting Combinations

    I currently am running the future vision HID low only options with my high/low switch activating the 4" China lights. One negative effect is the need to adapt when dimming the lights. The road seems to disappear for a few seconds :blink: This problem is amplified by the different Kelvin...

    I will look around for some replacement lamps again. I would also like to change the color, hopefully reducing some of the reflection from street signage. Please post up if you have a suggestion.

    Auxiliary light mounts and brackets from Alex

    There have been a few individuals that have contacted me for a pair of mount. I'm going to produce another group of mounts this weekend. I have the metal laser cut and tumbled already. I should be able to bend them up, weld and powder coat them this coming week.

    Snow, what snow?

    I thought this would be a post about the lack of snow fallen this year. In central Nebraska we haven't even had a good frost let alone any snow fall. Heck it was high 60's for most of November. This is very unusual for our region.

    Did anyone install Honda heated grips on 06 -up FJR

    I would also recommend utilizing a Fuzeblock to distribute power. Better to set it up right from the start. Most will find themselves having to add some type of distribution system after a few years of farkles anyway. I originally utilized the factory wires left on all models to use for the...

    +1 I'm glad they held up well, but it is too bad you had to meet the moose in the first place.

    Voltmeter on the fritz

    I contacted Andrew at MeterCenter and he was very helpful. He found that my meter was 11 months old and still under warranty. He shipped out a new one and it works perfect. The back of the used unit had a bit of corrosion on it, but the unit still appeared to be sealed very well. I...

    Voltmeter on the fritz

    It has been about a week, but with 90% humidity it might not dry out. I guess I'll pop the cover and check it for moisture. I'm not sure how it could have got in there. Man I hate removing those panels. There are only a billion wires in there from the HID's, Cruise, fuzeblock, etc. ugg...

    4" HID Auxilliary lights - Group Buy ~ShangLight Express -Order Placed~

    I have a bit over 5,000 mile on mine and haven't had any issues. I was able to tighten down the mount/brackets and still be able to make slight tweaks while moving down the road (not the safest thing to do) The nylon washers allowing just enough pressure to hold steady but still allow for...

    ** BRODIE NEEDS OUR HELP ** Serious Collision **

    Ohh man, my stomach twisted all up reading the heading. I'm seriously glad to see that he is in great spirit and doing well. I just installed the harness he made me and was going to send him a PM thanking him. Speedy recovery my friend!

    2011 Gen 3 FJR 1300 mentioned in Cycleworld

    What a weak photo chop. Triumph tiger light, Honda fairing, Honda 1200 bags, Kawasaki muffler, Yamaha seat. Can’t they make even one part from their imagination?

    How to remove front wheel with the center stand

    I now just place the bike on the center stand and place 2-45lb and 1 25lb dumb bell in the Givi case. It works perfectly! Years ago I had intalled some eyebolts in the ceiling for raising and storing the jeep top. That worked for lifting the front of the bike but really takes too much time...

    BP spills coffee...

    They forgot the step of dumping grape Kool-Aid mix on top to 'diffuse' the problem. :rolleyes:

    Rider shot in the back

    Sorry if this was posted earlier but this is shocking. The following video took place last year, but the evidence was just released a few days ago. 2 riders pull away from a stop sign at a good clip and get busted. One of the riders loses control and hits a curb. The other rider stops for...
