    '07 Final Drive

    2007 FJR with a little over 50,000 miles - I bought the bike new. I did a once over of the bike this morning before going to work and everything looked good, front tire was about 1 psi lower than I normally start with, but figured it would be ok. Jumped on it after lunch to head up to Augusta...

    SADDLEBAG BARREL LOCK

    One of mine is missing and I can not find a part number or at least the correct size to replace it. Long road trip starting Friday morning and I'd like to have this taken care of first thing tomorrow morning. On a positive note, the security key from Garmin is the perfect size to tighten them...

    What are the odds??

    Left Natchez, MS this morning headed to Asheville, NC. Stopped at a Shell station in Lebanon, TN to get gas & piss - imagine that, another '07 FJR was getting gas. Turned out the rider (Eddie) was from Oregon and over visiting family in the Asheville area and had ventured over to Nashville for...

    Bill Mayer Saddle

    I traded my Spencerized seat & a few bucks to another forum member a little while ago for his Bill Mayer Saddle. I was not real sure I had made a good decision. I was never uncomfortable around town, but I wasn't in Utopia! Saturday morning I left Norfolk, VA @ 4:00 AM headed to Natchez, MS...

    DROPPED IT!

    Uphill right hand turn in stop and go traffic. Coming to a stop I downshifted from second. Just as I was completely stopped traffic started moving again so I eased out the clutch and gave a little throttle. Uh-oh, I'm in neutral. Pull clutch back in and shift into first. The bike lurched...

    iPod Holder

    I have been looking for a way to carry or mount my iPod to my bike, yet keep it protected from the weather AND maintain some sort of user interface. I started by just throwing it in my tankbag. Problems: tank bag by itself is not waterproof and the iPod tends to move around making access on...

    +1 To Farkle Master

    I ordered a N/Line dash shelve for the FJR yesterday. Not paying attention to what I was doing, I checked out before I added the universal mounting bracket in my cart. I then ordered the universal mounting bracket separately, fully expecting to pay full S&H charges. Imagine my surprise when I...

    Norfolk, VA to Jacksonville, FL

    A little late but I wanted to report on my ride. I rode down to Jacksonville last Saturday (Oct 11). After filling up the night before, I left Norfolk at ~0730 and headed across US-58 until I got to Emporia, VA - where I jumped on I-95 and headed South. According to my GPS, I travelled 650...

    Farkling Has Begun

    I mounted the Garmin 2720 and Battery Tender the day after I brought the FJR home. Don't know how long it will take to get here, but I just made four more orders for new farkles: Grip Puppies Throttlemeister (heavy) Sidebag reflective decals from Premier Cycle Accessories Motovation frame...

    GIVI V46 top case

    Looking through a lot of past posts (but by no means all or even most), I came across a link to RL Motorcycles. Look llike some of the better prices for the Givi stuff. Also noticed that the R353 paint code for the '07 FJR has been discontinued. :( Really would like it to match. I need a...

    First Ride Report

    I left Virginia Beach @ 0930 this morning with 99 miles on the odometer and a full tank of gas. With the forecast calling for scattered thunderstorms along my route, I decided to play it safe and wear the First Gear Kilimanjaro Jacket and HT Overpants - knowing that if I did the weather would...
