    Anybody got any leads on PR4GT rears?

    Has anybody heard of a PR4 GT rear (180/55ZR17) in stock anywhere? I just had a front installed, but couldn't find the rear anyplace in the Bay Area. Every place I tried said back ordered until mid june at earliest.

    Pic of a seat that's been through a pucker moment?

    A friend doesn't know what a pucker moment is...even after going over the bars during his MC license test. I wanted to show him, but I can't find a pic of a seat with the tell-tale pucker shape imprinted in it. Does anybody have any links to any?

    Garter snakes can be dangerous

    Garter snakes can be dangerous. Grass Snakes also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous. Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why. A couple in Sweetwater , Texas , had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them...

    Who was in Fremont, CA REI yesterday?

    Someone wearing a light-colored one-piece motorcycle suite and carrying a dark helmet was in the Fremont, CA REI yesterday. My wife was there buying sandals for my 6-yr old son, when he noticed the motorcycle guy buying sandals for someone. As my wife and son were heading out, they saw the...

    Wambulance Fridge Magnet

    One of my kids was whining about something this morning (no idea what, whining also means being ignored), and I told him to be careful or I'd have to call the Wambulance to take him away. Well, it occurs to me, that FJRGuy recently did this brilliant key fob thing... Love The FJR...and so...

    Second Look Tank Skin Installation

    I got in on a group buy for Second Look tank skins in July of 2009. I installed it on August 2, 2009, and finally got around to uploading pics. The installation was easier than it had sounded and only took a few minutes. I have a 2008 FJR1300A, so it's black. I chose the half-skin Black...

    Chili

    HOME MADE CHILI I went grocery shopping this weekend, which in hindsight may not have been very wise. You see, the previous evening, I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented “You’re Definitely Going To Crap Yourself’ chili. Tasty stuff, albeit Hot, to the point of being...

    Cow Pie Tuesday?

    I still can't believe the thread: SICK of this bike!! but, I don't think anybody should be calling it a dog pile...it happened on a Tuesday. I do hope it opens up again on Friday, so that a dog pile can be added to the cow pie. Mike (who spent summers on the grandparents' farms growing up)

    Ever open the saddle bags?

    The saddle bags are dual-walled: there is an outer shell and an inner husk, I call it. I'm just digging out the service manual to see if it says anything, but does anybody know if there's a way to separate them? Temporarily, of course, I want to put them back together. I'm trying to decide...

    Thinking about lights

    I'll be taking my first long-distance ride on the fjr next month, and am wondering about ading extra lights. I'll be driving from the San Francisco Bay Area to northern Idaho, a trip I've done many times in cages. Well, ok, pickup truck with camper in the back. I know that with the truck's...

    Bike Chocks: Anything better than Condor?

    I'm needing bike chocks for an enclosed trailer that I'll be hauling the FJR in. Searching in general, I found the Condor and BoltItOn. Searching this site, I found 5 threads, most of which were more than 2 years old, so thought I'd see if anybody has newer suggestions. One thread also...

    Voltmeters: LED or LCD?

    I've been looking at adding a voltmeter, and looking at the Datel site, I see that they have an LCD version. Anybody have it? The Datel 2-wire page shows the LED model that most people get: DMS-20PC-1-DCM (LED version datasheet). However, it also shows a rather interesting looking LCD model...

    Factory top boxes in the Bay Area?

    Anybody in the Bay Area got a Yamaha top box? I'm trying to decide between the factory one and the Givi E52. Specs say they are the same size (Yam claims 1.83 ft3, while 52 liters is exactly 1.83 cubic feet!), but I've picked up the feeling that the Yamaha has less useful space than the Givi...

    Jacket (CyclePort/Motoport) Options

    I just saw https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=106882, and was rather worried at first. However, after reading the whole thread, I'm not regretting ordering the Kevlar suit. I ordered a jacket from Wayne a week or so ago, shortly before we starting having these triple digit...
