Well, you wanted to hear from the players and how things are going... I'm still in San Diego! Here's why https://ibpete.blogspot.com/2015/06/2015-ibr-rally-prep.html

I use 1/4" hose. but before everybody says "there's the problem" I have taken that into consideration. Everybody says 5/16" (8mm) but... the best flow you can get is thru the smallest opening and I've found that most 5/16 hose barbs only have a .220" opening and most 1/4" barbs have a .180"...

Hi all, As you may recall I've been making some Tanji style cells. [now that I have finished more than Tanji did maybe we could call them something else--but that is not the reason for my post :rolleyes: ] Based on a rider's experience with my last cell build it seems a fuel pump may not be...

There seems to be more and more interest. So much so that I have created a web site. https://www.maplefarkles.com/ It's still in progress but if you have questions I hope this will cover the basics thx for the ear

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. Lots of interest in the cell and I'm now getting ready to start on #5 and #6. #3 and #4 are spoken for. Thought you might like to see one powder coated. PS==The next project is a Gen1 version. Should be ready for pictures in about 2 weeks.

Joe, Thanks for the comment. I guess my reluctance is from the ldrider list where you can get pretty roughed up for crossing that line. I've finished my second cell and played around with shooting a video in the hopes it would give a better view of what I'm up to. Please take a look...

Since Alan kicked this off I guess it would be okay to respond. I have mostly been a lurker because, not being an FJR owner, I didn't want to appear to just be a spammer. I love the bike and if my K1200LT gives up the ghost before I do the FJR is certainly high on my next bike list. Please let...

Hey all, Thanks so much for all the feedback, this is very helpful. What I am trying to do is separate the fuel cell from the mounting. The Tanji cell (and others I have seen) are a fabrication nightmare and, as has been mentioned, model year specific. I am hoping to be able to build something...

Hi, I have mostly been a lurker on the forum but now I could use some help. I hope you don't mind my jumping in. I've been asked to fabricate a fuel cell for an 2009 FJR and I have a tech question. I've searched and searched but I can't seem to find an answer. At what height is the center of...

I'm in for a pair. What do I do now? How do I order? etc. Splitting a set with a buddie so I need to make sure he isn't buying them too :-) We are both in the IBR this year and I for one really appreciate your giving us HOL priviledges. I also appreciate the support for you decision I've seen...
