As per usual you guys rock. thanks for the advice on the shipping. it helps a ton. I don't worry about people walking on a deal or cheating me. Everyone I have met through this forum has been great, and very helpful. I just want to estimate my shipping so I am able to provide a fair deal...

Sorry, I hit the enter key too quickly. . So my question. When posting items, and they say +shipping...how do you reconcile the shipping cost with the buyer. I would use FedEx as they are open when I head in to work. Do you guys get a flat rate anywhere for a particular sized box? I am...

OK Gang,

Exactly what I was looking to do. 1 1/4" socket matches the best. Perfect.

Thanks guys, i know its a special nut and there are torque values for the upper and lower nut. I was going to make my own tool for the nut and was looking for the outside diameter so i had a starting point before i took my bike apart. Just looking for the oitside diameter of the "castel nut...

Just wondering if anyone knows the outside diameter of the steering nuts under the triple tree. The ones you tighten to adjust your bearings. Thanks Rich

Was going to finally pull the trigger on this, but I was wondering if this will interfere with lifting the tank for plug changes or throttle body sync. Any advise or tips will be appreciated.

Just curious if the tool leading to that cylinder could be off / leaky / bad. did you try switching hoses to the vacuum on the throttle body. Just a thought to remove the tool from being the issue.

I now have 750 miles on it. The best thing i was surprised by is the nice road manners, and comfortable seating position. The FJR actually felt cramped when I took it out after riding the KLR. for me this makes a perfect compliment to the FJR. I Saw someone write about the VStrom. I really...

I store my bike in my shop in the basement over the winter. It started right up and I took it out for a little run tonight. I recently bought a KLR and have been riding that while the streets were still a bit salty. It was nice to get back on the FJR. The KLR is a great bike to mess around...

So i got mine finally broken in. The SW-Motech gear I had on order was back ordered till later this month. I didn't want to go without, so I ordered PivotPegz footpegs, I didn't know if I would like the pivoting of the footpegs, but I really like that feature. I ended up with nomad rider...

If the unit has an external speaker, and allows you to upload routes then I'm in. that way I could use it for both the car and bike. I think this is at a price point where it should be. I have been looking for a less expensive solution that has the ability to mount to a bike securely.

any recommendations for any good pegs. I bought the SWMotech, they are on back order so I would still have time to cancel if I see something I like better.

I can't wait for the temps to hit 40. by then I'll have the crash guards on. it will be a nice compliment to the FJR. My wife is now scared she'll never see me again, she may be right, it just looks like too much fun. Thanks for the advice guys. One question, I hear the footpegs are slick...

I picked up a new lime green KLR. I had to go up to Mora Minnesota to get it. they were very nice. I trailer-ed it home, that was scary, I had never trailer-ed a bike before. I got it home, backed the trailer up to a snow bank and unloaded it. I couldn't resist and took it for a quick...
