    Hi all, Two items still for sale (I added a Cortech Tankbag): Laminar Lip - $50 Cortech Tankbag (black but faded from sun; so it's really light gray) - Pay it forward, you only pay shipping or pick up. The Cortech Tankbag is still functional and fits well on the FJR tank. I used it for...

    Gen 2 FJR rear tire removal

    I already looked at this: https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/rearwheel.html It's apparently for Gen I and certainly not for the ABS model. I have a 2010 FJR Gen 2 A few questions: 1) Why do we need the 3/4" plywood under the center stand? I'm guessing it's to give clearance for the rear wheel...

    Changed oil and then bike feels like two cylinders working

    Tips for short folks with FJRs

Many of us (self included) have either strongly considered or actually have lowered the FJR but this is not without its consequences -- if you...

    Looking for a Vstream for 2010

    Hi, I'm 5'6" and the stock shield is just maybe 2" too short. I've a Laminar Lip on order; it will be here June 14th -- mail order sucks being so bloody slow. Maybe it will cure my problem, maybe not, but I don't like all this mail order waiting. I'm looking also at a Vstream shield -- looks...
