I read about Dale's passing earlier this year and was saddened. I met him several years ago when two buddies and I toured his museum. He was very gracious and yes fired up a couple of bikes to show us they ran. He was quite an ambassador of the motorcycle community and will be greatly missed.
I do not mean to piggyback this thread, but I also have an undamaged rider and passenger Gen II stock seat available if someone missed out on rmcobb's seat.
This exact same thing happened to me as well, but I did not have a tether on it. Before I turn around and pick it up, a car ran over it. I learned an expensive lesson. I only keep my phone in my pocket now and use via Bluetooth. I get my map/directions from my hardwired Garmin Zumo.
Hi All, I am not sure if many people know about this, but I thought I would mention it.
Bridgestone is offering $60 Rebate on a pair of Motorcycle tires until 4/30/20 ...
Thank you to all with their feedback! I will explore those suggestions. I did a forum search prior to the post and found only a couple of items, maybe I did not use enough words. Stay safe everyone.
Hi,
i usually keep the FJR tucked in the garage in front of the car when not in use, but I also have an uncovered exterior patio when use is frequent. The patio is very convenient. I like to keep the saddlebags on the FJR and wish to see what other FJR riders use to cover down to the tires...
I have an extra brand new mounting plate for GIVI topcase, but I am not sure if it will fit your V46.
I will try to send you information via email to see if it will work for you.
Hi,
I have a new to me 2008 with about 15k miles. I notice the engagement is very close to the hand grip. I would like to have it engage further out from the grip.
Does anyone know if this can be done?
Thanks!
I picked up a real nice low mile 2008 FJR a few weeks ago. I have been riding about 40 yrs, had more than 25 bikes but never a FJR. I really like it, looking forward to many miles ahead and gaining knowledge from fellow Feejers on this forum. :)
Route66 and Ntxfjr thanks for the info! I think the LEDs are a great item but also agree the slipper clutch may not affect me as I am not a high performance rider. The 2015 has notable upgrades to what I am riding. I think the updated safety equipment alone makes it worthwhile.
I have heard folks running different models or even brands of tires to get the effect you have mentioned, stickier tires up fornt and longer wearing in the rear. I've done this in the past with no ill effect, however my opinion is to stay with the same model fornt and rear. They have been...
I was wondering which year of FJR would be best to consider if buying used.
I heard the early one(s) had excessive heat discharge problem. Any year(s) I should avoid or seek out?
How does the FJR compare to ST1300 or even ST1100?
Thanks.
