Replacing the front caliper on my 2009 and one bolt broke. Someone (maybe me ;) ) overtorqued the bolt. Local shop didn't have the OEM bolt in stock...

Hollow bolt = easier to drill out & extract when some wrench jockey over-torques it...
I bought a nifty voltmeter that plugs into the glove box a while back. Being lazy, today I left the glove box open, and noticed the meter flash red...

There's a voltmeter on my radar detector. The FJR's stator is strong. Even with high beams, heated grips on WFO, and the heated jacket liner, I still...
