    OEM Shock Replacement for '08

    I've been reading a ton of info here but seem to be getting more confused. I'm trying to keep the cost down so I was going to replace the rear shock with an '08 OEM, but now I see the newer generations have better OEM shocks that will work on the '08 A model. It would be helpful if someone could...

    Looking for Selling Advise for 2008

    Good point on the cost per year drop. lol I still ride 2 or 3 times a week. Usually short rides after work. You're right that the mileage on the bike wasn't put on evenly. There were a few years when I didn't ride much at all. Life gets in the way sometimes.

    Looking for Selling Advise for 2008

    With 235,000 miles you probably only paid about 6 cents a mile for all that fun. Good deal.

    Looking for Selling Advise for 2008

    I'm starting to see it might be better to just keep it till the end. It still runs like new. Looking back this purchase was one of the best of my life. Paid cash around 15k new, divided by 10 years of fun equals about $1500. per year. The longer I keep it the lower that number gets!

    Looking for Selling Advise for 2008

    It's been awhile since I've posted here. I'm thinking about selling my 2008, and would like to know what a fair price would be. I purchased the bike new in 2008 and now have 23000 miles her. It runs great. Of course I dropped it once a few years ago at a stop sign. That's a story in itself...

    dropped my new fjr!

    Here's my dropped FJR story. I came to a stop sign with my wife on the back. The pavement was very uneven and my right foot touched the road about 4 inches lower than my left foot. And for whatever reason my wife decided to lean over my shoulder to the same right side. We leaned over just enough...

    '08 Original Rider Seat

    Does not include the passenger seat. Very good condition. No flaws that I can see. Not sure what it's worth but 75. + shipping sounds fair. (OBO) I don't have paypal so would require a check. I live near Lancaster, Pa if you're close enough to pick up. Thanks.

    CalSci XL Windshield For Sale...'08

    When do you consider it to be to hot to ride?

    Well, being that I only ride for fun, after today I'd say the magic number is 92. Sounds wimpy but I left for a ride this morning and the temp was 92. A half hour out I turned back for home thinking this sucks!

    Why I decided to Start Doing the Work Myself

    I brought my '08 FJR in to get inspected this spring and it failed. When I bought the bike I decided to have all the maintenance and repairs taken care by them, the dealership, the experts! I had been having some ongoing issues with the rear brake and mentioned it to them again before the...

    Rear Brakes

    So I recently brought my fjr in for one of the recalls and I asked if they wouldn't mind checking the rear brakes as they've been soft (maybe half the normal braking power). They tried bleeding the brakes but it made no difference and said I should make an appointment for a new master cylinder...
