    Tech Day XIV

    My roommate bailed for Friday night, so I have a bed free if anyone is interested.

    Square Cap for the Heated Grip Control Cutout

    I'm looking for someone who installed the Yamaha factory heated grips and no longer needs the blank insert for a Gen 2.

    Anyone change to white gauge faces?

    I used to work for an instrumentation company. Be warned that the pointers are usually friction fit onto the stepper motors that drive them. We always threw out pointers that had to be taken off. They can be reused in most circumstances, but they can have slippage in the rotation.

    Tech Day XIV

    There's usually plenty of wiring that needs to be done.

    My son's 1st Motorcycle ride

    Back when my son was an infant, he had the car seat that would just snap into a base and then we had bases in each car. I was certain I could make an adapter plate for the car seat and the mount for my top box. My wife hated that I even joked about it. I was serious about making one, not...

    I'm sick of Facebook. I'm deleting my account!

    I use Facebook to unfollow people. Like it or not, it is part of today's society. It has its uses. It has replaced the class reunion. I pretty much stick to posting pictures of my son or maybe some pictures of the motorcycle or new toys. In the last year, I've unfollowed anyone that...

    A Late Season Color Flight

    I have the OEM top box, so it is one of the smaller ones out there. But I bought the inner bag for it, then bought some foam. It isn't pretty, but it gets the job done and I'm able to carry it with me. I have the backpack for it also, but that won't fit in the top box. As you can see...

    A Late Season Color Flight

    I wish I had the Mavic. The portability is impossible to ignore. The Phantom has a slightly better camera, but you can only tell if they are side-by-side. I made a foam insert for my Phantom 3 so I can carry it in the top box. But the Mavic would be so much easier.

    Took the drone out last weekend. There's some color out there, you just have to see it from above.

    Garage Furnace: Radiant heat or Blower Furnace?

    I suspended a blower heater from the ceiling. I don't have much floor space, so the heat needed to be hung. The main reason I chose the heater I did was because the neighbor sold it to me for $50. But I also have it wired up to control the fan separately. I can have a breeze in the garage in...

    So long

    I'm not defending anyone. I've been an admin at another forum for years now and I can say it is a thankless job. That forum is more frustrating than the ones I'm not an admin or moderator of just because I see the other side. We banned one guy in 8 years. The guy was a Dr. Jekyl / Mr. Hyde...

    Digital SLR in Top Case

    You have a link to what you bought? I was looking for something like that, but couldn't find anything that wasn't outrageously expensive. I made mine out of layered foam. Not near as nice, but it works. OEM top case, with the OEM inner bag for carrying.

    FJR vs CanAm fully loaded

    I didn't care for the Spyder either, but I drove it when it was in the prototype stage. It handled like an ATV. I'm told they have gotten much better.

    Deer Whistles...Are they any good?

    My dad's hit a deer with his Goldwing. He put deer passive deer whistles on after that, then proceeded to hit 2 more. Maybe he just installed them backwards so now they attract instead of repel?

    Searles Castle, Mt. Washington - A ride through The Shire

    Normally there are 4 of us that trailer together, but I had a work trip to London, ON that had to be coupled in. Luckily, it was on the way to New Hampshire. The customer I had to visit also rode a FJR which is also why I wanted to take the bike. We hoped to have time to go riding together, but...

    I didn't fall down...

    That sucks man. You're fortunate to walk away. My dad has hit 3 with his Goldwing. The first one damn near killed him and tore his ACL. The second one, he went down and re-tore his ACL. The third happened in front of me, but he kept it upright that time. Count your lucky stars, it could...

    Why should I buy a Garmin over using my smartphone

    I bought another J&M condom that I slip over the charger when weather is a factor or when I'm washing the bike. Expensive for what it is, but it is the perfect size. https://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JM-JCB03-RRCV As far as device security, I've never had an issue in two years with...

    Auto Turn Signal Canceler - current options

    This is what I installed last weekend. It works off from a combination of lean angle, acceleration, heading, and time. I think it is better than the Kisan. https://www.safer-turn.com/ Here's info on the install John D and I did...
