    Who was that idiot on an FJR at Barber on Saturday?

    Very cool. That is on my list to do someday...

    Something I learned about FJRs & weak batteries

    With the new battery, I took the bike down to Key West and not one problem with the battery. I rode 450 miles round trip in 10 hours. What a nice ride! I guess that the battery was the problem.

    Top master

    I think that I will go with the Topmaster and the Shad 50. Thanks for the help. Just worried about the subframe cracks...

    Top master

    I am thinking of getting the Shad with the Topmaster. Does anyone have a pic of one (topmaster) on a gen1? I am trying to decide if that is strong enough, or should I get a Gerauld rack to mount it to. Opinions? Pics?

    Shad SH-50 too big?

    I am looking at getting the Shad 50. I hear that they can push the passenger forward and they don't like it. I am thinking of getting the Gerauld rack to mount it on. It seems that I would be able to move it forward and backwards to suit the passenger. The Topmaster rack would not allow any...

    I don't know wich one to pick up ?

    I am looking at getting the shad 50 and putting it on a 2004. Has anyone done this? I would like to know if it mounts directly and cleanly to the stock back rack, or should an aftermarket rack be purchased? Thanks

    Something I learned about FJRs & weak batteries

    Yes, I am getting the readings concurrently. I read on this forum that the diag voltage should be 12.4. I assume that is correct. I had the battery on the charger and the charger indicated that the battery was fully charged. Do you recommend any plugs in particular to try to re-seat? (be...

    Something I learned about FJRs & weak batteries

    I did check both at the same time. I did read here that the diag voltgage should be 12.4, so I assume that there is a wiring problem. I may have to re-seat some wiring connectors, but I would not know where to start or which ones would be best to try first. I will try a long ride (2hours+)...

    Something I learned about FJRs & weak batteries

    So, my 2004 FJR did the thing where the clock resets and it does not start. It is fine going to work (16miles), but has the problem when doing 2 - 4 hour rides. I checked the voltage in diag mode and it was 11.7. From previous posts, I figured I had the same weak battery problem. I bought...

    Trading in the FJR

    Y'all can make all the fun that you want. The Harley does what it is supposed to do very well. It is not meant to keep up with the FJR's, although that depends on the rider. It is meant to cruise and enjoy the ride and the experience. Notice all of the MILFs watching you as you sit next to...
