    Fixed the Herky-Jerky Throttle

    Where does one find the Fred H. pulley mod? I've attempted a search with no luck. Thanks

    My Lucky Day

    It's Saturday and I'm cruising down a two lane highway with a posted speed limit of 55. I'm a little late meeting my wife at home so I speed up just a bit to about 85 when, to my chagrin, I see a CHP running a speed trap ahead of me on the right. I know he has me dead to rights. When I get...

    Slip-on's wanted..what you got!!!

    I bought a pair of Remus Revolutions. Love 'em. Easy to install (took about 30 minutes). Sound great and have a removeable central baffle if you want a little extra noise and performance. I paid about $800 for the pair from maxmoto.com in San Francisco.

    Easy hot tank solution anyone?

    I know it's a well worn subject, but I went for my first warm weather spin (about 90 degrees) on my new (to me) '05 FJR the other day and found that the chestnuts and inner thighs do get a bit toastie. Rather than trying to fix it from underneath, anyone know of a manufacturer that makes an...

    Sargent seat with Corbin Smuggler?

    Just bought a used '05 FJR that came with Corbin saddles and a Corbin Smuggler. Have pretty much decided to buy a Sargent seat (Corbin is not the most comfortable for my old butt - - too firm). Does anyone know if the Sargent front saddle will work in conjunction with the Corbin Smuggler? I...

    Sargent Insert Eval

    Is the "Sargent Super-cell insert" that your referred to an add-on pad (like sheepskins and beads) or is it the type of padding that they use when ordering a new or custom seat? I checked out the Sargent site and don't see any reference to it.

    Sargent Seat

    I am considering a Sargent seat. It looks like the Sargent may add an inch or so to the seat height (compared to stock seat). This would be a good thing as my oldish knees start screamin at me after an hour or two at such a severe angle. Any angle relief would be helpful. Anyone out there...

    Ohlins shocks

    In addition to my '05 FJR, I have a '00 BMW R1100RT with Ohlins shocks installed (I bought it used and it came with them). The ride on the BMW seems much smoother and more comfortable. The FJR suspension is stiffer and I can feel virtually every pebble and blemish in the road. I don't know if...

    Ryza Padded Magnetic Tank Pad

    Has anyone tried the Ryza Padded Magnetic Tank Pad (Mag-Knight website)? In particular, I'm looking for something that will keep me (my inner thighs and my special purpose) insulated from the hot tank on warm days? This seems like it may do the trick. Is it effective? Does it mar the tank...

    Corbin Smuggler

    I have one that came with my '05 that I just bought last Friday. There is no mounting to be done. It simply replaces and mounts in place of the rear passenger seat. It's "bucket" is identical to the rear seat's and it simply slides into place just as the rear seat does. Hope this helps.
