  1. @autiger - welcome and congrats on the new bike. From your introduction, it sounds like you are aware of the MCCruise, it works GREAT! I would also suggest a radiator guard, the fins can be easily bent and you wouldn't want a rock to fly up and end your day. Since you already have an FJR, you already have fully compatible side bags, you will just need the bottom mount brackets. Enjoy the new ride.
  2. Yes, you will want to install it in the correct orientation, pos to pos and neg to neg.
  3. That works for me. @new1709rider - send me your mailing address and I will get them in the mail and then you and @fddriver2 can work out the rest of the transaction.
  4. That is the key right there, one setting at a time and eventually you will get it dialed in. 👍
  5. @fddriver2 - Since I am not using them, you can have them for free. All I ask is in exchange that you make a modest donation to @Cruizin to help keep the bills paid. If interested, send me a PM with your shipping info.
  6. That's a very generous offer but I am already using a different axle block now. Thank you for the offer. 👍
  7. Agreed, if you have a way to make accurate index marks, then these might work well for you. Like I said, they do seem to be built well otherwise, they just didn't work for me. 👍
  8. Most of the deflectors that I have seen are available in 2 sizes with the smaller versions needing 8-9" width on the top of the screen to mount and the larger ones needing around 11" width for the mount arms. I haven't used the single center mount versions but yes, they should work on any shield.
  9. I took a chance on these Chinese knock-offs from Ebay. While they are constructed fine, they have no index notch or mark on the center black axle block to reference with the measurement marks. With no point of reference they are effectively worthless. I tried them for awhile and the only way that I could measure distance was with a digital caliper on each side, getting them equal on each side took forever and was a complete pain in the a$$. Now they collect dust in the garage.
  10. I don't have an exact answer referencing the V-Stream, I thought I would share this. Motorcycle Adjustable Clip On Windscreen Windshield Extension Spoiler Wind Deflector Adjustable Lockable Plus and Mini Size Description:The Screen is supplied with extension arms and Double Hinges... At $50 it is $120 cheaper than the MRA "Touring" version. I have the smaller MRA "Sport" version and use it on occasion, the effects are noticeable but not dramatic. I might try this brand as the mini version is 1" taller and 1" wider than my current MRA Sport. The important thing to consider with these spoilers is the width of your screen to make sure the mount posts fit.
  11. @Kenny A. - Glad you got the issue resolved and are back on the road. Like @BBB mentioned, behind the screen are several available 12v switched auxiliary power plugs, I hardwired my GPS and Denali DRL's into those plugs.
  12. Yes - they are dual intensity, running light and turn signal.
  13. I have ordered these for different bikes and they are definitely sold as a pair. Beside being very bright, they are also very durable. You would have to try deliberately to break these.
  14. I have tried many aftermarket LED signals over the years and NONE of them were as bright as these. I have had numerous comments as to their brightness from other riders riding behind me in group rides.
  15. Let us know how you like the Black Widow unit, at one point I had considered their tri-oval exhaust but decided on the Scorpion instead.
  16. Yes, they are sold as a pair and require an adapter plate to fit. Yamaha Turn Signal Adapter Spacers for Aftermarket In Hole Stalk Type Indicators | eBay Find great deals for Yamaha Turn Signal Adapter Spacers for Aftermarket...
  17. Just curious, why would you have to buy a blank key from China? Can you not get spare keys made from your local locksmith/key shop?
  18. I use these front and rear. Billet aluminum, small and bright as $H!t X-Arc Lights - the brightest LED Brake lights, turn signals, tail lights
  19. I have only used the app a handful of times, its kind of fun with a lot of ride data.
  20. Not one part of your Summer sounds like its going to suck. 👍 Epic riding! - Enjoy.
  21. And that is worth its weight in gold. I look at it like "I'm not getting any younger and there is way too much out there that I haven't seen". Last year alone, I rode Sonora Pass, had breakfast at historic "Alice's Restaurant", rode the Golden Gate Bridge, Napa, Mount Shasta, the Oregon Coast, Escalante and Moab, Utah and the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado - All that I had never done before on a bike.
  22. A complete suspension upgrade and buttery smooth fueling will enhance an already amazing bike, and an exhaust makes it sound absolutely EVIL! 😎
  23. Is the "Extra Gear" the mosquito net helmets or the alcohol? 😎👍
  24. @keithu - Thanks for taking the time to provide that explanation. Aside from riding consecutive 1,000 mile days, a multi-day, multi-state scavenger hunt-type ride sounds like a lot of fun, especially the random "bonuses" and having part of it a mystery until you start. It sounds like a very unique adventure. 👍
  25. Yes, I installed them on a 2015 model.
