    2007 Iron Butt Rally RESULTS!!!!!

    On the IBR site under Riders Scorecard the points are listed for the second leg. Click on a name and it brings up both legs with points. They are not added with leg 1. So with a little math we might be able to figure this out!!!!!!!!

    tank bag no-brainer?

    Try twistedthrottle.com.. They sell Motech Engage bags wich worked great for me. I'd recommend the the larger one. The mounting ring uses up some inner space of the bag and makes the bag look bigger than the actual capacity. They also sell GPS mounts that go on bag. Oh, they ain't cheap.

    Good Bye Fjr

    Well I sold my 06 FJRA (77th motorcycle I've owned) today. After 10,000 miles this past year, here are some thoughts. The motor, drivetrain are simply awesome. The power delivery was so friendly that driving it was fun everytime out of the garage. The handlebar adjustment sucked, it was a joke...

    GenMar Handelbar risers

    The install does require removal of the top triple clamp. It is not much of a job but does require a 36mm socket to remove the steering stem nut ($8, Advanced Auto Parts), and a torque wrench for the re-install. The riser block's do away with the factory stud plate, wire harness guide...

    GenMar Handelbar risers

    Ordered and received mine this past week for my 06 (March 26 order, 31st received). Installation in about an hour. Removal of the top triple tree is needed to remove the stock stud plate, also you must cut the wire guide to free the wire harness. Simple nut and bolt installation of the riser...

    Tankbags

    Go for the XL. I have sport (only one available at time) and was disappointed in the interior size. The mounting ring takes up space as it indents into base.Baseball hat, windshield cleaner, spare glasses and a tire gauge fill it up pretty quick. That being said I was very happy with ease of...

    Cockpit of Flicker 2006 AE

    Nice Set-up, What is that on your mirrors? The Canadian/Euro Hand guards? Are they worth the money? Thanks.

    Is Harley coming around?

    I read somewhere that a Sporster liquid cooled prototype was spotted in the southwest. They will have to step up to meet the stricter emission standards and to expand their market. That prototype looks better than anything that Buell has put out.

    VStrom hand guard question

    The Suzuki accessory catalog lists them for the 650. I did some research on it and the 650 has a clutch cable as oposed to hydraulic. The lever mount will be different and I'm assuming that the kit won't work for us. True or False?

    Air Hawk Seat Cushion

    Love mine, medium cruiser on 06, after 7000 miles I wouldn't ride without it. I followed the instuctions on low air and it works great. Stand up after a hour or so and when you sit back down it's like a new seat.

    questions 06 FJR A

    I"m 6.0, 34" inseam these are my takes after 5500 miles;Bar set up is to far forward for me. The stock adjustment is a joke, previous year set up was much easier to fix. I've been waiting for all the risers/set back's to come out to make my choice. So far Heli may have the best set up for me...

    GIVI V46 matching topcase

    There is warning about using both bags and top case. MamaYama suggests top or side cases but not both. Maybe rear subframe not enginered to handle both? I'm sure there are FJR's with ten's of thousand's miles using both out there. I ain't scared.
