>" It runs pretty smooth, but the clutch/throttle is a little jerky," Don't have a power commander ? Add one. Went for nearly a year on my 2007. I was ready to sell bike, (lumpy throttle response) then I added the PC. Makes it into a new bike.

Please ! Sombody just make some triple clamps or bar clamps for accepting a standard 7/8" or 1" bar!!!

I've seen them 3 times northern california. Once as a child, back in the late 50's. Parents go me up at night, looking out the windows in the dark, the horizons were lit up... mostly with green. Pretty young to remember it with accuracy though. Second one was during an extreme solar...

Rode my 2007 and then FarWestFast Eddies. Eddies bike is far (and I mean far) smoother. He said he added the PCIII with the smoothness map. Might be a way to go. Probably going to get one for mine.

>"I bought a Sargent World Sport Performance seat for my '07 (Your basic stocker, black/black CarbonFX) last month. I had high hopes, but it doesn't improve my ergonomic situation. " Ditto here, Sargent seat for sale or trade, pretty much new condition. Also have passenger seat. Second in...

>"I live in central Florida and commute about 300 miles a week" Is the pavement smooth in Florida? Max elevation is 380 feet in Florida not alot of uphill and downhill. Other than that, it sounds like you have less twist on the throttle and less pressure on the brakes.

>>"Used the hammer test most often rather than a gauge." > "Splain Lucy?" Ever watch a trucker test his tires? Walks around the truck and thumps the tires with a steel pipe. (Pipe is used for tightening straps).

>"Harbor Freight has a 3 gallon, 1/3 HP, 100 PSI Oilless compressor on sale" I've seen several of those carried back into Harbor Freight... (returns). $40 bucks... take your chances!

What sort of leg length do you have? I'm about 5-11 but have 'short legs' (29"). The seat looks like it's about 1-1/2" taller" Is it comfortable? The stock and Sargent seats are producing numbness inside my legs. Seems like most designs go 'taller'... I think the bike is too wide and they go...

Just did this myself. If you're not GOOD with a drill, you may have trouble removing the bolt heads from the ignition switch. The bolt heads are designed to be 'theft resistant'... and they are a bit nasty to get out of the way. You need 5 or 6 towels on the tank (prevent scratching) and you...

>"From there 96 to Yreka is good fun and then go down through Lassen and the rest of the good stuff in the Sierra foothills." Lassen park is quite literally 'on fire'. The highway is closed. There are also fires near Happy Camp, but probably won't affect your travel. Couple places to eat...

Add me to Russel seats... can upgrade seat most anytime.

>". For example, I have never ridden a bike where my throttle hand went numb as quick as it does on the FJR. I don't recall my hand going numb on my last bike. " If you haven't, do the throttle unwind... removing some tension from the throttle helps a lot.

>"Has anyone here ever done so? Will all the wiring and lines still reach. Just wanted to present this to the forum before purchasing a set of risers. " I'm contemplating doing the same... (have an extra set of risers). I'm thinking the hydraulic hoses won't fit. Pity that the folks making...

>"Bridgestone BT 023GT's At certain speeds the bike feels like it takes on a hydroplane feel. It's strange? " Proably should check tire pressures too. Quality gage... put 40 to 42 lbs in each tire. See what happens. Beyond that, I don't have a lot if time on my FJR, so I can only...

>"tires are 2k new " What sort of tires are they?

>"These worthless fuking bikes are millions waiting to happen..." Nah.. it's a great bike, want to keep it. However, coupled with an old body. Dunno who to sue about that one. Probably sue myself. :unsure:
