    getting to turn signal flasher in '08

    I had a SignalMinder on an 05 Honda VTX1800F. On that model I had to open up the turn signal switch and remove a spring so you could manually cancel the turn signal. It worked really well, I have been considering on for the FJR. Worked great with LED bulbs.

    XM Radio- quandry-

    I have a setup that I use with my Sirius Satellite Radio. I made the bracket and used a short mag mount antenna. The Stratus radio will output on an any regular FM radio frequency. I just tune to that frequency with my Scala Q2 and listen wirelessly. I can also plug into the mp3 input and...

    Satellite Radio and other stuff

    I have been busy adding some nice upgrades to my 2008 FJR. I added the AVCC cruise control from Murph's Kits, as you can see in the pictures I placed the canister and control unit under the seat. While I was at it I decided since I had things apart I would also add the FZ1 fuze block with an...

    Fuzeblocks FZ-1

    I just finished installing the FZ-1 in conjunction with an Audiovox cruise control. I added a cigarette plug beside the fuse block to use with a 12v pump. It works great and I am really happy. I bought a 1/8" x 2" x 24" piece of steel from Lowes and crafted the mount myself. Easy to do with...

    New Helmet FF

    I just bought an Arai RX-Q and it is the best fitting helmet I have ever had. I did replace the cheek pads with thinner ones. I also have a Shoei, it is great but the fit is not as good form me.

    Lower links

    I lowered my '08 FJR using Kouba Links, also added a Corbin seat. My inseam is about 29" and now I don't have any problems. I also shortened the side stand and center stand. With 1" off the center stand it is very easy to use, much easier than it was when everything was stock. Good Luck!

    New FJR owner

    Excellent choice! I went from a Goldwing to a VTX1800F and then to my '08 FJR. I have had MANY bikes over the years and the FJR is the finest one I have ever had and the most fun to ride. Enjoy!

    Are Pilot Road 2 on backorder?

    My local Yamaha dealer, Flatout Motorcycles of Greenwood, IN are saying that the Pilot Road 2's are on back order at all of their suppliers. I took the bike in over two weeks ago for the 4k service and a new front tire. The communication from them has been very poor, when I called last week...

    Cant' get seat lock to work

    I finally figure it out with the help of the forum members. I have Corbin seats installed and it looks like it was in a bind. If I press down hard on the rear seat I can get it unlocked. I need to either remember to do that or make a modification to the bracket so it is not so tight. Thanks...

    Cant' get seat lock to work

    I have not had my seat off for months. Today when I tried I could not get the key to turn. It looks to me like the key is not going in far enough like it does in the ignition. I have looked around for debris or anything that would keep it from turning. Can anyone verify that the key goes in...

    Cutting the stock shield

    I just installed a Rifle that was 3" taller than stock. I should have ordered a shorter one since I am 5-8. I love the Rifle windscreen but even with it all the way down I did not get air to my helmet. I cut 3" off and it is absolutely wonderful, all the way up I get NO noise or wind and down...

    Windshields

    I did lots of research and just ordered a Rifle. When it arrives and I have some time to evaluate it, I will post and let everyone know what I think. I had a rifle on another bike and it was great.

    Corbin seat/backrest and Yamaha top case

    I have the Yamaha trunk with the rear trunk backrest pad. My wife likes it fine, even compared to the Goldwing I had.

    Honda V65 Sabre

    I had an 85 V65 Sabre and it was one of my favorite bike I ever had. It looked like a sleeper and I dusted many sport bikes with it. I added a top-end oiling kit that took care of the problem. Basically it is a machined device that connects to the oil filter and has two stainless steel hoses...

    Corbin discount

    I am in the market for a Corbin seat for my Gen II. Does anyone know if they ever have any kind of factory sale. Riding season in about over where I live so I am in no hurry. Also, of all the bikes I have had from cruisers to Goldwings I like my FJR by far the best! What a great ride.
