    Yellow Outrigger Lights

    This is what I have for mounting marker/aux lights. I bought them from a guy on this forum or the other one. His name was Farmer Bob or something like that. Nicely machined aluminum plates with a little pocket for the rear view mirrors to fit into. I think one could do something similar with...

    Yellow Outrigger Lights

    Try Ruby Lights. Family business out of Salt Lake City. Comparable to Clearwater 2/3 the cost.

    Parts For Sale FJR Gen 2 Fork Brace $45.00

    Does a fork brace do anything you can actually feel while riding? I had one on my old Honda CB750F and I'm not sure I felt anything different. Looks very cool, though.

    Throttlemeister O-Rings

    My Throttlemeister wasn't adequately holding the throttle snug. I'd set it at 70 mph and a few minutes later, realized I was only going 55 or so. I disassembled the whole thing to see what made it operate and tried to make adjustments to make it just right, adjustment wise. It's a black art...

    TPMS Mounting

    Here's what I did. I bought the Sykik Rider SRTP-300 from Amazon. I also got a couple of the dual valve metal wheel valve stems from WingThings, I think. It's waterproof, and rechargeable. I double sticky taped the mounting base to the top of the "Meter" See Photos:

    are you a moto camper?

    Here's my arrangement. I have a Pirates' Lair stealth backrest. That bag in back has an open bottom pocket that slides over the backrest pad to hold it in place. Works relatively well, but has no structure and is not waterproof. That's a 35 liter SW Motech Dry Bag on the pillion seat.

    Carbon Fiber Luggage Rack

    Like the high value added storage! But not very aerodynamic.

    Carbon Fiber Luggage Rack

    It’s expandable. 25 liters/33 liters expanded.

    Carbon Fiber Luggage Rack

    I have no hard evidence that the Givi SR357 will eliminate any subframe damage. That said, I think the carbon fiber platform along with the lighter and smaller bag will go a long way towards keeping the aluminum subframe in one piece. Mostly, I think it just looks better than a huge plastic box...

    Anyone use tank bags?

    This is a RKA Mini Expandable - in expanded mode. They also make an Allegro version, same bag only non-expandable. Great bag IMHO.

    Carbon Fiber Luggage Rack

    I made a simple luggage rack that attaches to the Givi SR357 frame. I think a lot of hard top boxes overwhelm the appearance of the FJR. I just wanted to be able to attach a smaller semi-soft top box of some sort. I got a 4mm thick, 300mm x 400mm carbon fiber plate, trimmed it to shape for...

    Fork bolts

    I'm glad to see that no one else understands it either! :) I did the bounce thing after torquing the axle nut and left side pinch bolts, and then torqued the RH pinch bolts after the bounce. My axle end surface ended up just shy of the fork surface <1mm. Perhaps the FSM is taking into account...

    Fork bolts

    Can someone please explain in layman's terms what they are getting at in step "C" of the FSM procedure? I'm confused by the last sentence.

    New FJR rider as of today

    I have a 2010 just like yours. I made the jumper as suggested by 2 wheel obsession and used it to trigger the ABS pump. Same procedure as in the video. Worked great.

    Parts For Sale 2010 FJR1300A front wheel (damaged/repairable)

    I have a front wheel off of my 2010 FJR1300A. It was on my bike when I bought it last fall. I had new tires put on this spring and the installer pointed out a small "taco" or bent flange probably due to a pot hole encounter. The bead also has a little flat spot corresponding to the flared...

    buying high mileage FJR

    Just checked with my local dealer and he looked up the bike on his computer. It listed a minor repair to the windscreen mechanism and no other repairs under warranty or any recalls that were left to do. Looks like a 2010 had those bulletins and recalls done at the factory! Thanks for the...

    buying high mileage FJR

    I got in there to check the VIN number, there are no other marks on that surface other than the serial number. Probably not done.

    FJR Forum Decal design

    No top box. A more interesting color would help, it looks like a B&W photo.
