    Battery Post Stacking

    It's the "wannabe farkler" back for another round. I got to thinkin' that maybe down the road I may want to put a Powerlet socket on the bike as well as maybe a GPS someday, that and maybe a satellite radio receiver and/or an iPod, but with my Scorpio alarm already on the battery, I am...

    Loose lock on the saddle bags

    ShinyPartsUp, Slapnpop, MadMike2 and all the rest, Thanks a bunch for the offer to fax the directions, but I think I see what Slapnpop and Madmike2 and others are talking about. For some reaason I thought that it was the lock barrel itself that needed to be Loctited (is that even a word?)...

    Sighting in Roseburg Oregon June 22

    Hey, good to hear that Roseburg hasn't fallen off the map. You guys can enlighten me...I was born in Roseburg in '54 and spent the first 12 years of my life there. Both of my brothers still go up to the Klamath River to fish (or they used to...they're mostly fishing the Rogue down around...

    Loose lock on the saddle bags

    Okay, I got the security torx-bit set from Autozone...ran me ten bucks, and I'll probably never use it again after this, but oh well. (T-10 is the needed size, btw). Picked up some Loctite Blue stick while I was there as well. Should do me well for quite some time. When you say "remove the...

    Loose lock on the saddle bags

    Slapnpop, Been lookin' all over for the "How-To" on the bag locks, but after spending about an hour on the site searching, I gave up...I want to ride, but I'll stay around locally. Any links on the "How-To" would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Jim

    C'mon, guys...

    Exactly HOW do I do this? (I obviously ain't no wrench, 'kay?) I found the throttle spring, but it's clipped to a horizontal bar with the spring behind it. Do I have to turn the clip on the throttle spring to the right to get it to go behind the horizontal bar it's clipped to so it'll...

    Throttle Spring redux

    Make sure that I actually succeeded? Is there a noticeable difference, or is it just something that "seems" a little different? I unhooked the spring, but I don't know if it managed to go around or not. It seems to me that when it's unhooked, you have to angle it to the right side in order...

    Throttle spring

    BANJ, How do I tell if I actually succeeded? Is there a noticeable difference, or is it just something that "seems" a little different? I unhooked the spring, but I don't know if it managed to go around or not. It seems to me that when it's unhooked, you have to angle it to the right side...

    Throttle spring

    I must be the idiot, 'cause I sure can't find where (and what) I'm looking for to unhook the spring thingie (I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my technical talk) FROM. I DID find the center spring, however. I spent half an hour in a 120 degree hot garage tryin' to see where (and what) to...

    HELP!!!!

    Just wanted to say "Thanks" for all those that responded to my pleas for help. I managed to get my sliders on this weekend, and the plastic all back on except for one screw (that wasn't there anyway) so it's all good. Since the instructions said "the original Motor-Bolt-Discs are not used"...

    HELP!!!!

    FJRFencer, I DO in fact have a set of Skyway's sliders, but I have an '05, so I have to install the brackets anyway, but thanks for caring... :P

    HELP!!!!

    Do I need to use the original engine bolt washers for anything when installing the Moko spacer on the new engine bolt? If so, before or after the spacer? What's the sequence for the bobbins? Is it: Bolt, lockwasher, washer? Plastic is sitting on boxes in the garage. Thanks (sorry for...

    Engine Bolt Washers and Pesky Plastic Fasteners

    Guys, I have one of those irritating plastic fasteners on the inside of my lower right fairing that I need to get out to finish installing my Moko sliders on my '05. I have tugged and tugged, but still can't get the stupid thing out (I hate these things). Does anyone have any ideas? It...

    The words you hate to hear from a non-rider

    Roger that, Groo.... I Google all the time! Wikipedia is my friend...I'm just playin'...I have to do something for entertainment. That's why the smiley. I have Googled and withdraw my nitpick, and yes, yours DOES get more hits, and is apparently on the way to becoming mainstream instead of...

    GSG Moko Install

    Hey, ladies and germs, I thought I read somewhere (no, I can't find it) that you don't need to take all the fairings off to install the sliders, but on the FJRTech.com site, it says to take off all of the fairings (even the front, if I read that correctly) and unplug the connector to the...
