    El Cheapo home-made Smuggler?

    I needed some place on the dash to mount the Monitor for Buddy's Cam. Allows me to keep my eye on how he is doing. I removed this panel and layed-up fiberglass & cloth to make a base. The base mounted with the upper left corner fastener, and a Plastic button fastener where the left head...

    El Cheapo home-made Smuggler?

    No apologies, I can relate & want to dive right in! ...and don't get me started on "Spousal Support"!

    Good points (!) I propose a study.

    El Cheapo home-made Smuggler?

    Fred, I still have Buddy here with me & he is fine! When my wife paid our vet to put him down, it was obvious to the vet that Buddy was in his prime, which caused him to inquire about her reasons for this. She replied that Buddy was a "Vicious Biter", and she didn't want him adopted out as...

    El Cheapo home-made Smuggler?

    Hey, those dreams can come true! (Return home after a business trip to discover that your wife took your dog in to be euthanized because "Your dog bit me!") I discovered that attorneys still charge more than a whack-job.

    El Cheapo home-made Smuggler?

    Buddy is more than just content, where I go, he wants to follow! I was perplexed when I first took him out, as he would not sit down but stayed standing. This appeared odd to me as I was riding up & down the side streets at well below the speed limits. Exposing him to this new mode of travel...

    El Cheapo home-made Smuggler?

    Been away from the forum for a year...divorce happens, right? anyways, I wanted to post an update on the Buddy Bus... with a couple of pix. Last Summer me & Buddy rolled just a bit over four thousand miles on the fjr together. Nothing broke or cracked...I did add a camera and a monitor to...

    Delkevic exhaust?

    Thanks. I know they will make good, it is just all the wasted water under the bridge in the meantime. You figure that at least two weeks has been lost awaiting shipping. Could be worse... they could be coming from China!

    Delkevic exhaust?

    UDATE: I called the nice people at Delkevic who once I pointed out to them that my online order number did not match the order of which was sent, agreed to mail me out the pipe for the other side. Less than a week later, the pipe arrived as promised... except- ..the nice people there sent me...

    A little bit if friendly advice about Noravirus

    It shagged me in January... lost a week vacation time. I thought I was going to die.

    10 Gallon Frankentank

    I read this perspective and it saddens me. The fjr is such a great bike and has broad appeal: great on the twisties, grinds away the miles under the wheels and looks styled to the tens sitting parked in the street. What a great bike! No one "needs" an fjr. No one. We are free to enjoy the...

    Jafrum was one of the very first online storefronts I dealt with. Great delivery speed for you people on the east coast... ...Pacific Northwest not so good. The last time I ordered I learned what I thought was a lesson about their slow delivery & requested + paid for next day delivery...

    Dude! did you check out what Yammer-hammer wants for a new one? $805.00!

    Gen II Dash for farkels...

    Okay, the GPS fits on the threaded boss on the left handlebar switch control body, and I have a couple of fused 5a power ports installed on the right-side, from the battery... now I am mounting a RADAR detector, volt meter, ammeter & assorted gear that is great to take along? I net-groped a few...

    Delkevic exhaust?

    Already done, not a problem. Once I locate a new stainless clamp band, I will add a bit of anti-seize compound on the threads before I tackle the reassembly once again. (It was fun the first time I installed them, now I am looking inept.) btw, close fit to the panniers, huh!

    Delkevic exhaust?

    ~UPDATE~ ...having only one pipe with the other expect next week, I thought I would go ahead & install it. I discovered that the bolt holding the stock can to the pipe hanger can be reused with the Delkevic unit, but a trip to the hardware store is necessary as the nut is a captive unit & part...
