    Where is that d*mn thing?

    After nearly 50 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the wife felt her husband, begin to massage her in ways he hadn't in quite some time. It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back. He then caressed her...

    '13 A&S Clutch retrofit?

    Obviously, I'm no expert, but comparing the 2016 parts diagram to the 2013 parts diagram, it seems to me that swapping out the clutch boss, a couple of bearings, the pressure plate, and clutch plates would convert any of the Gen III bikes to the new slipper clutch from the '16. Adding those...

    Saw another one. NB SR51 @ 1500

    I normally don't see other FJR riders when I'm commuting, but I know they're out there. Saw a blue Gen I/II heading home today and thought I'd say Hi! Would've chatted on the road, but he was going quite a bit faster than the 10 over I was doing. That and my exit was coming up. Yes, I know I...

    2013 parts for sale

    As some of you may remember, I bumped into the back of a pickup a couple months back. After the shop finished with the repairs, I asked them to let me sort through the leftover parts to see what was salvageable and what wasn't. Below is a list of the parts that might not be in mint condition...

    Phoenix SOS

    Had a minor incident on my way home this morning and now my bike has a broken nose, black eye, and a compromised front brake line. rear seems ok, but I'm not riding her 22 miles home with so many unknowns. Only looks like the headlight assy and cowl are damaged (apart from the brake line), but...

    '07 spotted this morning in Phoenix

    Opened the garage door to bad weather and decided I didn't want to risk it in the heavy wind and rain that followed this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErMOOgSPrUY Decided to take the truck. Creeping along on my way home, surrounded by everyone else and their mothers going to work, I spotted...

    Need a lathe and scrap material...

    ...or someone willing to make something for me on theirs. My truck has a bushing that broke on part of the shift lever. Nissan, in their infinite wisdom, discontinued the part long enough ago that no dealership in the US has them. I haven't been able to find one in a junkyard or online either...

    Another reason lane splitting needs to be legalized everywhere

    In Arizona, lane splitting is specifically illegal. I'm paraphrasing, but "at no time shall two vehicles share a single lane." This idiot cager took enforcing that law just a little too far. My take is that if lane splitting were legal and drivers are aware of it, he wouldn't have had...

    '13 Stock windscreen delaminating?

    I'm sorry I don't have a pic of it to post, but I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my windscreen. The right-most 1/3 of it looks like it's starting to delaminate. It's hard to describe, but if you've ever seen a sunburn that's just beginning to peel, that's sorta what it's like. I...

    Phoenix area custom seat swap?

    As I'm going over my farkle wish list, I realized that a seat is on there, but am having serious trouble deciding on one. I like the looks of the Sargents, but hear they're a bit wide, which with my paltry 30" inseam, might be a problem. I know there's also the Yama 'comfort' seat out there...

    WOLO light controller?

    Alright. I've done some searches, but can't seem to find what I need for what I have in mind. Basically, I need a controller that would accept a momentary trigger (relayed from horn/passing switches) to provide 2-4 seconds of power to some LED strobes that, in theory, would work as WOLO...

    Abnormal tire wear after suspension/pressure changes

    I did a quick search and found several references to tire wear being an indication or cause of a problem, but nothing quite matching what I'm seeing. My front has about 11,000 miles on it and it was looking good for another 5,000, until I noticed a bit of cupping (this was when it only had 8-9k...

    Need a recommendation for paint shop

    My '13 and I were initiated into the drop club the night I brought it home. Underestimated the momentum it can get on even the slight slope of my driveway as I was backing it into a K turn. Wish I'd known then how easy it was to spin on the center stand on my garage floor... Anyway, ever...
