After 3 painful months - this Beast is finally back on the road. New powder-coating job on the Aux Cell that came out killer. The Spiegler SS Brake lines are incredible. The carbon fiber pieces were a huge ass-pain to install, but certainly look sweet. Ready for some 2024 adventures, finally...

They are so pretty when new.

This is more intensive major surgery than I was hoping for. Not all that close to wrapping up this job; I have Samco hoses coming from England, so I have to leave the engine bay torn asunder until they arrive and are installed. Can't say I am looking forward to the bleeding job here...

This is turning out to be quite the winter make-over. Now I am in the Death Grip if installing Spiegler SS Brake lines. This is a slightly painful process due to all the ABS plumbing. Got some HEL interlopers on my Spiegler Stainless Steel line kit. Those four bleeders are for the ABS pump...

Unlike Keith, Annie and I were able to transition easily to the Tracer 900 GT in 2021. It helps that this model can carry FJR1300 side cases natively, so we have not lost any carrying capacity.

Jesus Christ and General Jackson! I have been toying recently about scoring one of the smaller Trager wood pellet smoker's, and I recalled there was a little thread about that subject here that I should review.... shyeah, 11-year-old thread and 149 pages!! o_O I'm sure there is a ton of good...

Winter projects for the MT-10 includes a stunningly gorgeous carbon fiber headlight cowling. But you talk about a tedious install... oof! :confused: First, removing all the factory front end: This was not really a fun task... There are quite a number of bit pieces/trim to move over...

Good on ya for making this difficult decision, before some "incident" makes it for you. After 2 decades with this platform and riding all 4 generations of the FJR, I had to finally step away myself in 2021, downsizing to the Tracer 900 GT, which serves as my primary 2-up bike with wifey...

The PMR Switches are *exactly* what I was after - thanks, gents!

Great topic, I know... :confused: The CRS is getting disturbingly bad anymore. 🥺 The company who's name escapes me makes (or used to make) 12v switches that are affixed to clutch and brake reservoir mount bolts. The didn't make these switch housings for the FJR, due to our reservoir perch...

😃 This is a 3000-mile mixture of Flying Yellow Grasshoppers from Oregon, and nasty-ass Mormon Crickets from Utah and Nevada....

Huh... my naked Yamaha seems to make an outstanding sports-tourer machine for me.... over 15,000 miles just last summer alone: I also have one of 'dem 'dare 3-cylinder machines you mentioned... this is my primary 2-up interstate touring with the spousal unit: Throughout my many...

Tough situation to happen around the holidays. My advice: prepare the old bike for trade in. Remove all your farkles to the point it makes sense to do so. If you retained your OEM shock, it should go back on the bike. Then trade that in for a '23 model. The blue looks pretty fetching on the...

As it turns out, I am about to do this very same job on both the Tracer 900 GT and the MT-10 this winter. In fact, work on the Tracer begins tomorrow. Here is my Garage Assistant Kitty doing an inventory on the Spiegler kit for completeness:
