Looks like I finally get a "Ride" day this Saturday 9/10 and plan to enjoy a nice run across the Cherohala. I plan on hitting TWO in Suches around 9:00am for breakfast and heading out by 9:30. Plan to run 60-68 up to Tellico Plains. Fuel stop in Tellico Plains, across the Cherohala, then...

OK Fred. You went to great lengths last year to show us your progression with your home-built smoker, so I figured we would be flooded with some GREAT food porn this summer, but I cannot say I remember seeing any photos? Did I miss something, or are you holding out on us? What gives?

I know its Friday and I probably should have waited until tomorrow to ask this but I'll take the chance. I am curious how to route the necessary wires required for a set of heated gloves. I am more concerned with the wiring through/around the jacket and not the wiring to the battery. I...

I had a discussion with our very own garauld earlier this week in an effort to find somebody making passenger footrest relocation brackets. He stated he had looked at this once before, but with the level of work involved was not sure he wanted to venture down that path. At the end of our...

Over the years I have been associated with this forum, the willingness to assist a fellow rider has always been one of our best qualities. Well, I have a dear friend who is in need of help and I told him I would post this message to see if anyone here might be able to offer a suggestion. My...

First, let me say that the efforts and workmanship of Garauld is greatly appreciated. Having another choice for a hydration system for solo riding is valued, but what are folks riding 2-up doing? Do you just rely on frequent stops? Usually storage space is at a premium while riding 2-up for a...

Had a business trip that required me to fly into Portland OR for a few days this week. I can see why you guys love the PNW. This was my first experience in this part of the country and must say I was very impressed. I was originally bummed a little since I was forced to be away from home on my...

I wanted to see if the collective group would be willing to help with an issue I’ve been experiencing with my Audiovox cruise control. I installed this unit close to 2 years ago and up until recently, it’s worked without issue. Currently it is working, but only after some “fine tuning”. Once...

After attending NAFO (our first overnight bike trip) and the miles we racked up over 4 days, the wife has expressed some complaints about her knees. Was wondering if anyone might have a set of the lowering brackets they were willing to sell?

Not wanting to hijack an earlier thread from clock655, I thought I would offer up my experience with summer textile gloves to the collective. The following information and opinions are based on my recent personal experiences and are not intended to persuade anyone’s decisions on what type of...

Well, Currently working with Progressive to try and come to some kind of arrangement on the outcome of my 2004. As it stands right now they are planning on totaling the bike, and I would like to try and keep my new Russell seat (less than a year old). Does anyone have a stock seat they would...

Man where to start. Such a nice weekend here in north GA and was really looking forward to some riding with some local friend. Friday after work we all met up in Ellijay at a friend’s cabin and were using it as our base of operation for the weekend. Saturday morning we’re loaded up and headed...

This question concerns a GEN-I (2004) bike. I working thru the CCS-100 install this weekend, I do not have a clear understanding of the in-line check valve and the reservoir piping. Can someone offer an explaination? I have searched several past threads where people have stated to use a check...

To those who have participated with the patriot guard, I wanted to forward the following email I received from a fellow co-worker. He originally sent me a message asking if I had seen anything on the organization and I commented there were several here in the FJR community that served our fallen...

I remember back when WC started the deer strike build, he posted a source for some very nice looking foot pegs (black with very aggressive anti-slip profile). I have done some searching, but could not find "that" specific topic. I assume it has fallen to one of the virus hits on the board. Can...

I have spent the past 30 minutes looking for an old topic but cannot seem to find what I am looking for. I remember someone listed a web site that offered a good quality tire pressure gauge that attached to the valve stem and had an additional fitting at the gauge that allowed the pressure to...

I have my new set of FZ1 mirrors and was planning on installing them this weekend. For those who have done this already, about how much time was required? Did a large portion of the fairing panels need to be removed to get the necessary access? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BULL

Planning on heading out of the Atlanta area on Friday morning 9/16 to head toward Townsend and planned on swinging by TWO in Suches GA for lunch on the way up. If those heading north (or anyone looking for a little side trip) on their way up would like to meet up at TWO I’d be more than willing...
