    Hello again

    I haven't been on here since I sold my 08 FJR back in 13. Anyway now I am needing to sell my 14 Diavel Strada that replaced it. I thought of offering it here because at the time I left, there were a lot of guys looking for a lightweight touring bike which is why it appealed to me. I'll post an...

    FJR, Connie 14, and VFR1200 comparo

    Anybody get Motorcycle Consumer News? Anyway they compared the 3 bikes and rated the Kawi 14 first with the FJR as a close second. They thought Honda was a little confused about it's mission for the VFR as it didn't seem to excel at being a sport bike or a tourer. I just wonder why they...

    Center Stand

    I needed to shorten the center stand to make my lowered bike project complete. So, for those that care, here's what I did. After studying the design (with another stock stand in case I screwed up), I decided the easiest method would be to cut some off the top. This meant duplicating the angle...

    I wacked it off

    The side stand, that is. I lowered my FJR about 7/8" front and rear by replacing the rear links with Kouba links and raising the front fork tubes. Trouble is the side stand is too long so the bike doesn't have enough lean with the stock stand. I bought another side and center stand from...

    Top case

    Forgive me if this has been discussed a thousand times, but the only info I find on top cases seems to be a couple years old. I like the size of the Givi E52, but would prefer a mount that won't make the box sit so high. I don't want to have to do a lot of fabrication. Seems like this would be...

    Helmet life

    Anyone selling helmets tells us not to use them after they are x years old (I forget what the time limit is supposed to be), but I have never heard this from any source that wasn't trying to sell me a helmet. I checked on the Snell and DOT sites, but didn't find anything on aging. I very rarely...

    Tourmaster pants

    What pants are intended to go with the Intake jacket? Nobody around here seems to stock Tourmaster. I already have the jacket.

    Koubalinks

    I put the 7/8' drop koubalinks on, and since I have the Heli bar tripple clamp, I was able to raise the fork tubes about 5/8" without any interference from the clip ons. I had to dial in about 4 more clicks of rebound damping on the rear shock. I rode it about as hard as I ever ride and didn't...

    Hooray for Heli

    Just replaced the top triple clamp with the Heli bar version. Seems to be just right for me. They make it sound harder to install than it really is. You don't need to completly remove the tank. I'm impressed with the Yamaha tank design. Just being able to prop the tank up to work on the bike is...

    600 mi service

    I usually do my own service and have the old style mercury synch tool. Any reason the dealer needs to see my bike for the 600 mile service?
