    Split - Non-Philips LED H4 Bulbs

    I was running Nightbreaker Plus bulbs before they came out with the Unlimiteds for 3 years (about 400 hours), swapped them out while still working just to be pro active. Running one of those old ones in my DR650 now and it's still going (prolly on borrowed time now). The Unlim's. should do at...

    Front wheel/rim faint rubbing noise

    Get the front off the ground and spin it. Is the rubbing sound consistent or does it oscillate? Does it spin pretty free or drag more than it should? Most people don't have a dial indicator sitting around to check the run-out of the discs but you may have a slight warp. Did the dealer check the...

    Split - Non-Philips LED H4 Bulbs

    That is why I'll continue to run Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs until they get the LED's right. Maybe I'm too anal but the beam pattern is really crucial to me.

    Need new boots.

    Don't make me line up all the gloves I have and take a pic., I won't be able to complain anymore about all the shoes and purses my wife has. I was looking at gloves today at my local dealer! Need to attend a Gear Anon mtg. Speaking of boots though, the Forma and Gaerne brands have caught my...

    Suzuki DL650 Adventure? Good bike?

    Sounds like for your intentions it would be a great bike. I bought a DR650 because I wanted the Dual Sport side to be more dirt oriented and for blasting chewed up gnarly paved roads at stupid speeds, hence the 10+ in. of suspension travel and lighter weight was important. It's obviously no...

    Broken fork compression valve. Is race tech valve an option?

    A blessing in disguise I guess. The Gold Valves are a nice improvement over stock.

    How much is gas where you live?

    Paid $1.69 yesterday in NE Mass. Was out in LA last week and the best price I saw was $2.67! After seeing all the high taxes and fees on freaking EVERYTHING out there (even compared to taxachussetts) I would NEVER live there!

    Gift from a friend

    That was so kind of him, he must have been concerned that you may have an allergic reaction to something someday.

    Losing my M/C Racing Virginity - MotoGP or MotoAmerica

    It's all good! In fact, if you can find your nearest track with club racing you'll find that environment really fun too. It's VERY competitive and many of the top club racers do some national racing with the 'big boys' and do well. I used to take in the AMA races in the 80's at Loudon when that...

    New dealer down the street from work now.

    Canadian Commuting

    Went to a pizza joint in NH last Feb. and had to laugh as there were as many snowmobiles in the parking lot as cars!

    FJR on gravel and fire roads

    I don't mind dirt/gravel so much if it's fairly smooth but I did about a 10 mile stretch a couple years ago that was much more suited for an enduro bike. I didn't fall but I really thought I would break something on the bike from the pounding but didn't. Love riding these kind of roads, that's...

    Honda Africa Twin - oh my

    I think an FJ-07 would be very nice. The Kawasaki 650 Versys gets a lot of love in write ups.

    LED Light bar

    LED light bars are intriguing. From 4" to 50" wide with options of flood, spot or in-between lenses or even combinations of the lens types, single or double row. Mounting one across the front of an FJR would seem to require some creativity for sure. Best bet you would still need to use the...
