That sucks! but glad you're alright. After 10 years of Seattle traffic, I decided enough was enough and moved back to the Midwest. Seattle Traffic is terrible. I like Motoplex, I bought two bikes from them, both times they worked out a deal for me. I have also bought dome Skagit Valley...

Zumo 665 with a Sena SMH10, I can do the same thing. The family doesn't even know I am riding. When not talking to the family I have XM radio blazing Octane in my helmet.

I have accepted commuting as necessary evil to live where I want to live and work doing something I want to do. I have more or less had long commutes since I entered the professional work force. I used to work for US Steel in Gary IN lived in Chesterton, 17 miles ~ 40 min one way, not...

Easy install, spacers not needed, worth every penny. The only thing I could see with the OEM mirrors was my elbows. The FZ1 mirrors give me an excellent view of whats behind me.

The only problem is, its at Hinshaws. In my decade living in the PNW, every single exchange I have ever had at Hinshaws was negative. I have read nothing but glowing reviews of the Motus, but at the $37000 msrp, for the R version, I will be watching from afar for a long while.

Fantastic write up! I am going to have to keep Empire Cycle in mind for tire changes. I ride/drive past there nearly daily during my commute.

Thanks for hosting Mike. It was great getting to meet everyone. Always surprised by how small of a world it is.

Commercial grade 3M Electrical Tape. I would otherwise use heat shrink, however I never cut a wire unless I have too. Continuity never improves, it only gets worse.

A little practice is all it takes...

Make sure your connections are solid and that you have a good ground. Dirty signals and poor grounds can cause trouble. I have a Rostra on a Gen II using the w/y ABS signal for the VSS, my Rostra works great. All of my connections are soldered, or through a wire harness, no taps. My...

I had the same problem with my 2010 when I bought it. I tried to lube the system without full disassemble, ended up taking the the whole thing apart, cleaning and applying lithium grease to all the moving/sliding parts. The windshield slide is nice and smooth now. The Gen II power shield...

Installed the Rifle Barn Door yesterday.... Much better than stock and the whistling windscreen issue is gone.

I installed throttlemeister heavy weight bar ends, and then decided that I really didn't care for throttle locks at all anyway so I then installed The Rostra cruise control. So now I have a pretty much brand new set of throttlemeister heavy bar weights, with literally a few hundred miles on...

Not the popular choice but after going through a few pair of motorcycle specific boots, I wear a pair of high ankle, waterproof, hiking boots, and have done so for about 100k motorcycle miles. I just have not been able to find a motorcycle boot that is also comfortable to hike around in on a...

At this point, I am just coming to provide comic relief / a hand. I have everything done that I am going to do for a while. Just interested in meeting fellow riders and helping where I can. I do have a morgan carbtune, and a factory service manual. I wouldn't mind witnessing a throttle...

What time is the Hoe Down, kicking off on Saturday. I have spousal approval but need to hammer out the timing.

I did not. Set the Rostra to the highest pulse/mile setting. Works really well. The pulses/mile generated by the FJR ABS sensor must be pretty close considering the accel button results in ~1 mph increase per press. Signal quality can play a role. I have a very solid 0 ohm ground, and all...

Double post please delete

I finally finished the Rostra Cruise install on my 2010 FJR. Much thanks to my fantastic wife who ran interference with our toddler and infant twins to give me time to install the cruise while I should have been doing stuff around the house. After much research I wanted to go with the...

My 1998 Magna didn't.... Sure would have been nice.
