2 weeks from May 27th... sounds like it's just about departure time. And it's HOT here, triple digits all week. Being a dry heat, anything wet helps a lot. It's all been said before- I pour water on my shirt under my jacket, and I have even wet down my jacket. It helps a lot. Also get...

I've been using the Ram X-grip style mounts for years with no problems, and I've talked to guys that crashed their bikes and the phone was still in the mount. Maybe it's like the saddlebags... all the guys that haven't lost one secretly believe that all the guys that HAVE lost one didn't have...

I cut a reflective Yamaha stripe for my bike and one for my helmet. Both the black and the white are reflective. Super easy to make and not expensive... I guess I had around $20 or so in materials.

I installed a tire pressure monitoring kit. It's pretty cool, but I couldn't figure out why it said E2 S2...or why it thinks I'm going southeast... Then I realized it was mounted upside down and my tire pressure was REALLY LOW!!

Thanks for updating your report Gary, otherwise I never would have found it- I bought my FJR in Phoenix last August and rode it home. It's a tremendous read and helped me get through my slow afternoon at work here in Las Vegas. Yes, the heat is here- we're in triple digits today, but then...

My plan is to buy a new one for $355 here.

3 weeks out and the weather is looking great for this ride!!

I've googled a few part numbers and found it cheapest on boats.net. I was skeptical the first time I actually ordered from them, but it's all good.

I'm gonna give you that "previous owner" story on that one. Just this morning I noticed the back of my mirror is scraped up too. Just finished repainting one saddlebag from scuffs that were there when I bought it.

I was interested but don't think those will fit my 2011 bike.

My pic was taken before I bolted on the slider and the mount bolt. No, the fairing bumps my shin. I can kinda get a foot on it, but i don't think it would work very long. Plus I'm not a fan of highway pegs, so...

"voila"... used when showing to other people something that you have just made or got and are pleased with. I do the same thing on my truck- hide it behind the license plate. Even if it's a chipped key to start it, a non-chipped key will unlock the door for you plus nobody can steal the...

Russian Gaza engine guards. Like he said, instructions are more like a packing list. They went on easily, with a few parts left over. Minor quibble... I can't get a funnel in to fill the oil anymore, I had to use a funnel with a hose on the end of it.

Third in line...

LOUDER IS ALWAYS BETTER. If I could, I'd use a big rig air horn. Or a train horn. That would wake up everyone in a 2 block radius.

This was a ride last November in Prescott AZ with a handful of Concours riders and one or two other FJR1300s. We were all in full battle rattle. This was the result of passing a county sheriff on a lonely back road at 105-110mph. He was very cool about it, he asked us to slow down and then...

I was concerned about that as well, but it's simple. Once you have removed your ignition from the old triple clamp, it mounts to the bottom of the new triple with 2 supplied bolts and spacers into the tapped holes in the bottom of the triple clamp. Couldn't be easier.

Russian Gaza cage. Not really much room to mount lights on it, I'm actually thinking of clamping them onto the crash bungs. The instructions are more of a packing list really, and it's not very accurate even then. Seems to be good quality tho.

Mounted the Russian GAZA crash bars. They're well made but the instructions are useless.

It's been sold, sorry I forget to follow up with it.
