    Added a Vantrue F1 dashcam to my '22 today.

    We've all had those close calls where you wish you could have had video. I didn't want a helmet mounted cam and I wanted something that just started when I start the bike and records until I shut it off. This does exactly that. Wifi to my phone if I want, I can pull video from the SD card...

    6 years ago today I traded in my '08 M109R2 for an '08 FJR.

    This spring I bought a '22 ES to replace the '08 FJR. Not because it was worn out or broken, but because I wanted factory cruise and ride control. My '08 is still in the garage with 98,000 miles on it, just waiting for it's next owner. Thanks to everyone in the group for the amazing advice...

    New bike needed a new home for the winter...Almost ready to bring in the tools and work benches.

    What I started with: What it looks like now: Letting the floor paint cure/harden for 24 hours or so, then bringing home the toolboxes, work benches, etc. The plan is the triple tuning forks logo and the FJR logo painted in the floor as well. I would love to take credit for this, but I...

    I was going to add a new Shad SH58X to my new 2022ES....

    Then I added it to the cart, along with the mount, back rests and interior bag. :oops::oops::oops:....Uh, I think I will just transfer over the SH50 from my 08 thanks. I WILL need to powder coat my bar risers before I move them over though. Everything on the new bike in that area is matte...

    Relay arm bearings...they are a pain in the A**, but man, they gotta get done.

    This was from my '08 with ~90k miles on it.  I have to assume they have never been done. New bearings, seals and collars going back in.   Also, that M10x75mm bolt will be an M10x70mm bolt when it goes back in.  All ya had to do was put it in the other way!

    4 years ago today....she landed in my laneway

    4 years ago today, I traded my M109R for the Feej.  35,000 miles and more farkles than I can easily count later, she's still a joy to ride. She's taken me from New Orleans to Pickle Lake, through the mountains in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, WV, Tennessee and the Carolinas. ...

    Horn 12v+ trigger-2008: which wire?

    I'm looking to trigger a strobe module for my aux headlights with my horn button. I was reading that the horn may be ground switched?   Can anyone shed some light?  (pun intended)  I'm aware that it will probably not be legal, but I can live with that if I'm seen when I need to be.  Cheers?

    Mirror Mount Light Brackets

    Unfortunately, as far as I know, Wyn-Pro isn't making his amazing light brackets any more.   After my near miss with the moose last weekend, I am going to add some more lights to put even more lumens downrange. Anyone have any links for FJR specific brackets, other than the Denali ones? I...

    Audiovox CCS-100 Canister?? (what is this thing?)

    This came with the audiovox CCS100 I bought second hand (new, uninstalled).  This part is not in the installation manual anywhere.    Is this just a secondary canister that I have seen other people create from a PVC/ABS?  Another pic here: Canister Top View Any help appreciated.

    2nd IBA SS1000 complete

    This one started out chilly.  Glad I have heated gear.  37-40ºF for the first 2 legs.  Never got above 57º the whole day.   Still fun though.   https://www.wikiloc.com/motorcycling-trails/bilyea-iba74052-42706305 Still needs to get certified.  Pretty much did in that rear tire too...sadly...

    USB charger bracket prototype

    I drew this up and my brother cut on his CNC. This is the prototype for a limited production run, if there is any interest. Final products will be waterjet cut rather than CNC, and from slightly thicker stock. This is 1/8" 6061 aluminum. What are your thoughts? CC appreciated.

    Overheating after valve check...any ideas?

    As the title says... I just finished the valve checks and once I had it all back together, I topped the coolant back up and filled the overflow bottle. Ran it until the fans came on, and expected the temp to drop once they kicked in. Temp kept climbing and once it hit the top bar, I shut the...

    PAIR Block off plate gasket type? O-ring? Flat rubber?

    I searched PAIR and Block off plates but didn't see the answer to this, so hopefully it doesn't end up in NEPR. I'm going to be installing block off plates for my PAIR system as I go through this valve check process. Can anyone tell me what the gasket looks like for these? I haven't pulled...

    Ex California bike, now in Canada, see previous ownership?

    As the title states, I have a 2008 FJR, previously registered in California, now registered in Ontario, Canada. The Ontario Used Vehicle Information Package tells me all the registered owners since it was imported. Is there a way to see how many owners it had while registered in California...

    2 Years ago today...

    I traded my M109R for my 08 FJR. 18,000 miles later, I am thinking I robbed the guy I traded with. What a great machine. I averaged around 5000 kms a year on the big Suzi. I have taken the Feej all over northern Ontario, Michigan, NY, Vermont, NH, & MA. Thanks for all the great advice...
