I will take them to put on my 2016

Sissy. Unless you do I95 as part of your 10/10, you ain't done nothing. NSJS. I95 is for real men who want to really ruin their day(s).

Auburn: Actually, I have missed nothing. Someone asked a question and I gave an answer that may or may not have been totally accurate as far as others may be concerned. I've been to the banquets a few times, and Mike always says that. BUT. We all have families, and they are tremendously...

I think the 'Official IronButt Rally Scribe' has something to do with it. Notice how little he did this year compared to the historical recordings of yesteryear. Without the day to day reporting, it is hard to get excited about what is happening. I want to know who is having a good rally and who...

He was obviously not familiar with the road (LA 4039, just south of Bayonne on the Bayou near Crawfish Porch, Detwiley Parish). If you watch to the left, you can see the road clearly turned to the left just before he overshot the turn, ran onto the shoulder and into the drainage ditch. Happens...

That is one of the things about the FJR cruise control that caught me off guard. If you are running on cruise, and need to accelerate, you have to really be aware that the throttle grip needs to travel quite a bit farther than you would normally use to get the acceleration going. And the grip...

On my trip to NB/PEI/NS last summer, I pulled into my hotel in Moncton, NB after traveling three days and 2000 miles from my home in Florida. Checked in, started to take my wife's clothes out of the left bag...and both screws were missing. Took the bag inside, figured out what size screw I...

You have to use a OBD2 to turn off any errors on the newer FJRs. The connector is under the seat, and the connector requires an adaptor to fit a standard OBD2 to the bike.

I had the 10 degree mounted on the left side of my '08, with an ADVrider light on the right side.  I wasn't overly impressed with the amount of road the Cyclops illuminated. You need to mount them up high. If you mount them low down, they won't do you any good because you will end up just...

With the seal installed, you are fighting the friction of the seal but also there is air in the tube that you are trying to compress. They should be hard to extend/compress.

The 'lever dial' adjustment probably won't do anything for you. My '08 has always engaged right next to the grip. And I have bled the system a hundred times. Even had to replace the slave cylinder once when it failed. No difference for the last 166,000 miles.  

I just put a new Michelin PR4 GT on my front rim. I used lots of lube on the rim, and the 120/70-18 tire went on with absolutely no effort. I then removed that new tire and ordered a new 120/70-17 inch, cause the 18 that I bought back in January just seemed a little loose. Moral of story...

Seats - YES sliders - pretty sure NO FZ1 mirrors - YES Garauld rack - YES Risers - don't know.

TCX makes a fine boot. Truly waterproof and comfortable, although I had to put a piece of moleskin at the top to keep them from bothering my shins. Sold by Revzilla et al.

As in past years, I will be flagging Thursday thru Sunday...No corner assignment yet, of course.

I ordered a used slave cylinder off a 2006. Should be back in service soon, I hope.

2008 model. Looks like the seal in my slave cylinder has failed after sitting for two months...fluid just runs out of the bottom of the (properly torqued) slave cylinder. Parts fiche shows only a complete assembly, but the service manual shows a seal inside the cylinder with 'NEW' pointing to...

Yes, you can use the 20S while it is plugged in for recharging. My wife has to attach an external battery to hers since she listens to music all the time, and her 20S runs out of power before mine does. With the SRL the unit shuts off when recharging/attached to an external battery. My problem...

If you have 'faster route' selected, the GPS will apparently ignore your 'avoid unpaved roads' setting. As mentioned by Uncle Hud, during the Butt Lite, we all had our GPS (which had 'avoid unpaved' checked) send us down gravel roads repeatedly, when there was a paved road that was maybe 2 feet...

On my 2016, I bought the fender mount from Clearwater that is designed for the FJR. Pretty sturdy mount. The light ends up being about an inch below and an inch in front of the fender bolt. I mounted the control on the right handle bar using the control mounting bolt.
