I have a 2004 FJR1300A (ABS) and I am considering upgrading the front forks with higher spring rate springs, but I'm confused with the drastic differences in recommendations. My information is as follows: Rider InformationI weight 220 lbs. Passenger InformationNONE… I do not ride with a...

Ok, here's my report on the Avon Storms. After about 2000 miles I picked up a nasty screw in my rear tire on the BRP and ended up having to have it replaced in Asheville, NC... it continued to leak air after I plugged it. I now have about 5700 miles on my front and 3500 miles on my rear that I...

Well, as everyone else has said... SFO Fall Freakout turned out GREAT!!! It got a little warm in the afternoons, but we didn't have any rain. Lots of thanks to Mark and Michelle for all of the efforts in putting togther this event... Tony and Frances for their generosity with all of the door...

Hello all, I will be back this year. I'm not staying at the Best Western though. They only had 1 smoking room left. I didn't want a smoking room so I booked a room across the interstate at the Days Inn. I'll be arriving Thursday afternoon and departing on Sunday. It looks like a few others...

@RonBB Thanks for the wiring help... I have not wired the brake light yet. @Bounce Well I might be a little too late for helping you if you're installing it tomorrow, but check out this link Here's a link to the full size file sent to me by GIVI that I've uploaded. I ended up stacking a...

Ok... tonight I was replacing the clutch and brake fluid on the two year rotation I decided I would do. I think I might have some partial clogging in the front brake system. I first used my MityVac on the left side (shifter side) caliper bleed screw. I replenished the brake fluid in the...

I use MRF's (Motorcycle Riders Foundation) roadside assistance program. The service is actually provided by Road America. I haven't had to use it yet... hope I don't. It is very cheap... so I might be getting what I pay for, but I figured I'd try it. Anyway, I posted some details and links...

Radman, How much heat/what temperature would you recommend be applied to the hub... and what did you use to apply the heat... heat gun, torch, etc.??? Thanks, BeardO

sgoat, Thanks much for posting the pics... I have to say I think I like the satinn black better than the glossy black. However, I think I would like a black with just a bit less of a shine... we'll see though. Thanks again, BeardO

sgoat, Do you have any pictures of your rack that you can post? I've seen Warchild's glossy black, but I'm curious what the black satin looks like when mounted on the bike. I been thinking about sending mine to Garauld as well, but I was thinking about a matte black. BeardO

Adam, Get well soon my friend!!!!! As everyone has stated... we're keeping you in our prayers. BeardO

@fjr Thank you for your attempt to provide me with additional assistance. @everyone Well, in my continued research it seems as if there is suppose to be some type of protective disk as shown in the picture below that is suppose to go between the GIVI rack and the painted surface on the tail...

I just purchased a used GIVI SR346 Top Case Mounting Rack and GIVI E460 Top Case from a fellow forum member and I have some quesitons about the installtion of the GIVI SR346 Top Case Mounting Rack. First of all, does anyone know if GIVI has electronic versions of their installation manuals...

Smitty, I think you're on track to be sure I'll explain my setup. I have 12V power going into the V1 Remote Audio Adapter via telephone wire. Then the connection from V1 Remote Audio Adapter to the V1 Radar Unit is through the telephone wire like you would use with the cigarette lighter...

Smitty, Check out this link... I think it will answer your question. https://store.valentine1.com/store/products/20200.htm BeardO

I seem to agree with most of the comments above. It can be difficult to install the first time, but once you get the hang of it it's not too difficult in my opinion. I also think that a hair dryer is necessary for the areas of complex curves... you need to get the film warm in order for it to...

Warchild... so can you tell us where your getting the new Avon Storms from? I've done a little searching on the Internet and it seems that no one has them advertised for sale.

@GalaxyBlue--- I'm game for about anything... 125 does look to be more fun though than 65. I'll send you PM with my email address and phone number. I have RonBB's and FJR1300's email address. Maybe with some email correspondence between all of us we can settle on a route and meeting...

@fjrrider--- I too will be ready to ride Friday morning. I'll be arriving in Russellville Thursday late afternoon. @RonBB--- I've corresponded with FJR1300 a little and I'm currently planning on meeting up with you guys around the Warsaw area if that works out with the route you guys are...

There we go... sounds like we're going to have a decent size group now staying till Monday. Don't worry about being the only one worn out!!! I'm sure that my 'ol stock seat is not going to be feeling that comfortable after several days of serious riding. It'll be worth it though... no pain...
