    Russell driver backrest?

    I agree completely with Riclet - so much so that my backrest w/pouch, done in vinyl , is for sale. PM me for pictures. Jed

    Lets Talk Helmets

    What about the HJC Symax II? If you liked your old Symax, the recent issue of Rider says this one is better, and under $300.

    braking distance

    I just love 'scientific' discussions on motorcycle braking so for everyone that does too, check out this link. Does the weight of the bike really matter as the NHTSA study somewhat implies. https://www.msf-usa.org/imsc/proceedings/a2...kingSystems.pdf JED

    WTB seat and backrest

    I've got a Russel passenger seat and backrest. My wife doesn't like the passenger seat and I tried the backrest but it isn't for me. I'd need your rear seat in exchange as I'll have to send it in to be recovered to match my front Russel. The Russel passenger seat includes the bracket for the...

    Remus Hexacone

    Ok, I'm biased so listen to Niehart. He had stock, he bought Leo's and a few weeks later, at WFO, he had us take the Leo's off and install Hexacones. The look, the sound and the lifetime warranty add up. Ask Niehart about the condition of the Leo's after only a couple of months. Jed

    Russell Passenger Seat 03-05 FJR

    I just got a Russel off of a traded in '05. It came with a backrest and a passenger seat fully Russelized. I swapped my stock seats and cash. It is in great shape, covered in vinyl, and I'd be willing to sell the passenger seat and the backrest (with removable pocket). However, I'd need a...

    It's Official - Remus Exhausts coming to WFO!!

    Hi All, Sorry for the delayed response. I left WFO late Sunday and rode to outside of Jackson, WY. Yesterday I pushed it through Yellowstone, Beartooth, a quick fuel up in Red Lodge and then back down into Wyoming to camp up high, 100 or so miles west of Gillette. I left the high camp at 7...

    It's Official - Remus Exhausts coming to WFO!!

    I'll have to see how WFO goes and what the schedule looks like before deciding on EOM. One or two weeks after WFO I'll know. Thanks, Jed

    Remus Exhaust?

    Hi everybody- and wow am I glad I got these pipes. If for no other reason than to help others to decide if they like them or not. Regarding mounting, no you can't mount the cans on the opposite side and hide the logos. Some Remus cans use a strap that circles the pipe but FJR's have a bracket...

    Remus Exhaust?

    Hey I've been to Egypt and it is a nice place - Cairo is a little busy but what do you expect, it's a big city. The logos are embossed on the old versions but all new cans will have the riveted logos. They are removable but obviously you'll still have the rivets. I might go to CFO in South...

    It's Official - Remus Exhausts coming to WFO!!

    The organizers have given the go ahead - REMUS is coming to WFO. I've volunteered to do installations for free and will have my bike there for folks to see and hear Remus Revolutions (with and without baffle installed). I'm also bringing some give-aways for the banquets and a special surprise...

    Remus Exhaust?

    I'll look when I get a chance but I don't think the right and left are the same. The hanger bracket is mounted to the inside of the exhaust can and angles out to meet the footpeg bracket. jed

    Remus Exhaust?

    Two good questions. With the baffles in, the pipes are pretty sedate. Just a little throatier. WickedWebby came over the other night to check them out and I had no concern starting the bike at 10:30 pm so he could listen. I'm a good neighbor and we live in the city. A former FJR owner was...

    Remus Exhaust?

    First, a disclaimer. The importer, MaxMoto, is a friend of mine - his main tech and I used to work together and that is how I met Knut (the owner of MaxMoto). Knut is a cool guy (moved here from Austria at age 18) and he runs a great little company. The product is beautiful and the service is...

    Soltek HID Light Kit GB

    I'm actively on the fence. Anyone want a set of FF550's on Gerauld's brackets?

    Vstream

    I'll sell you my V-Stream. I used it for one, 50 mile commute and took it off and put it back in the box. Let me know, Jed ridersresource AT gmail DOT com

    Gen I vs Gen II Comparison

    KUDOS to MCATROPHY for his completely correct informational post regarding bike weight versus stopping distance. The idea that bike weight is tied to stopping distance is a great example of the fallacy of 'conventional wisdom'. 'Conventional wisdom' becomes such because it is easy to believe...

    Help!! Electrical Woes

    Thanks in advance for the help. I started to add some stuff to my '05 and made a mistake somewhere. I just temporarily wired up some Hella FF50's and an Escort 8500 but lost my horns and the glove box opening relay in the process. They worked for a while, but now I've got no horns, no gauge...
