Does anyone know how to get in touch with him, or how I can find shocks like he is selling?

Years ago there was a person, from another country other than the US, that was taking the rear shocks off of, I believe FJRs used for the police, and selling them. Does anyone know what his email was? Thanks for the help

does anyone have one they want to get rid of or, does anyone know where I can get one?

thanks for all the offers on the beer! No I did not keep the Spyder. It was fun but, I really needed to be back on 2 wheels! I am very happy with the "New Bike" but, I don't think it has as much power as the old '03 that I had. It has 44,000 miles on it. Is there anything I should make sure is...

I had a 2003 FJR 1300 a couple of years ago. I stopped posting and reading the forum because I traded it in on an F3-S Spyder. It wasn't bad and, it made the wife happy. I missed the FJR with a passion!! We used to live in PA and we moved to NV. We brought the Spyder with us. I rode it around...

you are correct! Seeing how there is one of me and, two of you that would make you the ...... You fill it in, the clue is in the last post. 6 dots, 6 letters, 3rd word. LMAO

What I want the OP and anyone else who read this to know is that while all FJRs are good there is a reason Yamaha has continually refined this bike. There have been improvements that are well worth the money if the buyer is willing to spend it. With FJRs more money buys newer with more...

The following is what you sent me in a private email: Let me help you with the learning to read quest you're on. Here is a copied quote from the post you won't stop bitching about: "I'm going to say the Sync outlined in the above link will make that bike run 100000000000x smoother. And I'm...

You need to read a little better. Above the post that you have quoted there is a post that called me a liar because I said the bike was a 2003, even though it was blue. The thing is, it was in fun from both of us and it was forgotten!! if not by you then to bad for you to not see that. Upgrades...

3 years ago, I bought a 2003 FJR 1300 for $3600 and I love it. All these up grades that everyone talks about may be good but, not really needed. If the bike you are looking at is as good as mine was, with 12,000 miles on it, you will be fine. The upgrades may be great but, in my opion, if you...

I also want to say that the new tires I put on, Battlax T-30GT's, are great tires. I love the way they ride and handle!!

I am going to let the seals alone, they weren't leaking at all. Why replace them when there is nothing wrong. I would agree that we all ride differently. I will say that after changing the fork oil, the bike rides and handles differently! I like it a lot better now.

I did not know that the changing of the fork oil was going to be so easy! Looking at the oil that came out of the forks, it was dark in one and shinny in the other, it smelled bad. I think that is the first time the fork oil was ever changed on my bike. I plan on changing it again in another...

I had the bike on a 250 mile ride on Sat. Everything appeared to be fine to me. I am thinking the best thing to do is, just leave it alone until it starts to ride funny. The forks should be done next week.

I am about to put new tires on my FJR. does anyone use these balancing beads? I was told by a guy riding a Harley that it makes the bike smoother. Would he really be able to tell? Harley do nothing but shake!! Are they worth it or should I just stay with the regular way of balancing them?

Thanks but, that makes no sense to me. Sorry.

I agree with a lot of what all of you have said. I am going to do the forks on the 4th of Aug. What oil do you suggest that I use in the forks? I know the book says Yamaha 01. I also know that it will cost a lot. Is there anything else that can be or, should be used in the forks?

Thank you for all the thoughts and comments! I talked with a guy this afternoon. We will be doing the forks sometime next week. We talked long about replacing the rear shock. He said to me that, if the rear shock is not giving any trouble then, we should leave it alone until it does. He also...

this is a copy of the video, that is on this website, that says you should replace the shock because after 30,000 miles it is shot. It is on the "Upgrading suspension instead of replacing the bike" post...

I have to say that, the way the bike is now, it to me is fine. I have no leaks on the forks or the shock. I plan on doing the forks but, I will be looking for a GEN III shock to replace mine with. It's not that the bike is acting strange or anything, it's just that people have said 30,000 miles...
