mmmmm - cedar smell ! :) Since the weather hasn't been too favorable, I've been messing around with the scroll saw. This took about an hour and a half to cut. I'm not sure how much something like this is worth (especially to locals) but I'm hoping someone on this forum might be interested...

I just listed both my '04 and my '05 for sale on CL. 2004 FJR - $2750 (37,600 miles) 2005 FJR - $2200 (82,600 miles) I suppose, if the situation called for it, I could put up a long distance folk for a night (in my house) if he planned on riding home with one or the other of these...

I've been through every fuse and checked every bulb. Bike starts and runs great and all other lights work great. I've taken all accessory wires off (disconnected from battery). Can't get any running lights. Any other ideas? I've already thought about running a new set of wires to each bulb...

I just saw this - don't know the seller. Some of you old-schoolers may still be into these antiques with 11K miles. :) Can you imagine? Maybe 700 miles per year! https://duluth.craigslist.org/mcy/6116883200.html

Cleaning the garage - these are getting dusty - was going to toss them - cover postage and they can be yours! These were originally from Derek's IBR crash bike - I salvaged them just in case. Maybe you could frame these and hang them on your wall? Conversation pieces? Oh yeah, I still have...

Cleaning the garage ... I was going to toss this in the dumpster but someone may have a use for it. It's the actual seat sat on by Derek D. from his '05 that he totalled a few years back in the IB. Own a piece of history and keep this out of the landfill. It's actually in really nice...

They are just minutes from me and I'd like to buy locally. The walk-in discount is nice, too. According to their "fitment chart" here: https://www.aerostich.com/batteries The FJR is not listed for either a Trugel or Shorai battery. I inquired with their support e-mail and they basically...

I thought I'd throw this out there ... I'm about to make a scrap run with the carcass (sorry, D, I know that hurts :( ) of an '05 that I used for a motor swap. The cans are decent and have a few scratches. The rear wheel (NON-ABS) is in really great shape. The bars are nice. Shaft...

I am looking for a complete engine to replace the one out of my '05. I've seen a few on fleabay but I'm not ready to commit a grand or so for one of theirs. The best I've seen so far is a days drive each way to pick up an '05 for about $750 (about $900 total) In short, I'd trust a fellow...

Okay, you midwesterner's... just a head's-up! No more excuses not to give the track a try. NESBA finally added some track days at BIR this summer (2 in Aug. and 2 in Sept.). Personally, it's WAY closer than heading all the way over to Road America. I have signed up for all 4 dates but will...

So I see that folks are passing through the area .... so I will put this out there again: I have a small pop-up camper sitting right in front of my garage that is always looking for an occupant or two. I am about a half mile off the freeway (I35) heading into Duluth. I am about 5 miles from...

Some of you may remember a thread a while back where I posed a question about pulling a sport bike on a trailer with the FJR. Well, update time, as I have had my first successful trip doing just that. I finished the trailer a few days before this maiden voyage with just enough time to get some...

THE SECRET WORLD OF CARBS by Paul Bryant, Viking Exhaust The basic secret of carb function is that inside each carb are thousands of tiny gnomes; each with a small bucket. As you open the throttle, more of these gnomes are allowed out of their house and into the float bowl, where they fill the...

Anyone want to help me break the record with FJR's? Let's go for 8! :clapping: https://www.collegehumor.com/video:1792141/

My first report so go easy on me: The wife took the kids to her mom's house for a couple weeks this summer so I had my first opportunity for a longer ride, which I hadn't really done before. Actually, I didn't really have a concrete itinerary set, only that I was going to head east over the...

Hey you Minnesota riders! They finally finished the re-surface through the park - just rode through it tonight. Just an FYI in case you get up or over or down to the Duluth area this fall. Looks like my ride to and from work is going to get a bit longer again :clapping: . If you do get up...

UPDATE: One of the photographers at this event finally got around to posting his pictures so I incorporated them into a short (5min) video clip along with some of the video I took that day - hopefully, these give a feel for a track day! IMO, the videos are the coolest part. You can find them...

Something I've always wanted to try - I signed up for that NESBA track day out at Road America: had a couple posts about it in another forum section but in case you midwest folks might have missed those, let me bring it up again. :unsure: I am planning on riding out there across northern WI...

Okay, hypothetically speaking, of course: Here is the situation: Interstate highway, speed limit 70. Traffic is light, you get painted (maybe about 80-85) from across a very wide median from a LEO travelling the opposite direction and he has no nearby turnaround. You immediately exit on the...

Okay, I have been riding to work almost every morning the past few weeks and it has been fairly cold (about 20 - 30f). This morning was a bit colder (I'd guess about 17f). The '05 is getting up to about 18k miles now and this is the first time it hasn't started. Not even a rumble or a pop...
