    Seat Options For a Short Guy ?

    I've read a lot of seat threads, and also modded the OEM seat so that there's much less tilt. 29" inseam, so I don't want to go any taller on the seat height, if it can be helped. I talked to a couple of well-know seat mod places, and they tell me that there's not much they can do with the OEM...

    Reflective tape?

    I had some black reflective tape (3M) on my FJR and it shined bright red when illuminated. Did a search here and didn't find anyone that used reflective tape on, say, the rear or sides of the panniers...... which is where I thought it might work out.... Your thoughts? Thanks, Kevin

    HA-HA - Look what I found

    OK, I admit it. I was bored. Needed a project. Surprised to find out that very much of the parts are readily available. What do you think? . . .

    *** SOLD PENDING FUNDS *** - 4 Sale - Side Carriers - Not Sure of Make/Model

    I bought these from another forum member. They're in nice shape. Not really sure of the exact model/make. In the mean time, I bought a complete set of panniers and mounts, so these are for sale. Three quick-release half-turn hex-head fasteners on each side takes them off the bike in seconds...

    I recently purchased these from a nice forum member here. They're thought to be SW Moto Tech. However, I cannot seem to find a picture that matches these. A plate mounts to the grab rails with two different length bushings and another plate mounts to the rear foot peg assembly. Three quick...

    What is a "normal" water temperature?

    New owner here. Just wondering what the "normal" water temperature. Granted - I just bought the bike in November and only have approx 2,000 miles on it. Riding in weather from 25F to 50F. The readout never gets over 170 F. Many times (in cold weather) it's in the 140 - 150 range. While...

    Need luggage guards for soft luggage. Which one?

    I mount a large bag across the rear pillion and rack, so rarely need saddlebags. However, there are a couple times each year when a set of saddlebags would come in handy. I had a set of the Nelson Rigg CL-850 saddlebags sitting on the shelf and thought I'd mount them for a trip. After a couple...

    New Owner - East Central Missouri

    Just picked up a 2012 this afternoon - so I don't really have any comments - except that I think I'm going to like it a lot. DID manage to get in a little over 100 miles today. Don't know what else to say... I'll just lurk around and do some reading. Thanks, Kevin
