OK, verdict appears to be in. Front axle bearings. Metal shavings and galling of axle/bearing/collar on the left side. Yikes. Ordered new parts and should have apart and back together by the weekend. This should clear-up the brake issue as well as the wheel wobble. I'll update further as able...

Thanks for all the responses. I just finished up the drive home from Death Valley (bike on trailer). To answer some questions; I have had the bike about 3 years and have never changed the brake fluid. Which might lead me to believe that it has never been changed. Easy place to start. However, I...

I've searched not come up with anything. My bike is an 03 with just over 11k on the odometer. Yesterday, about 30 minutes into a ride, the front brakes went away. The lever started coming all the way to the grip. if I pump it a few times, it will come right back. At the same time, and this may...

I just like to say thanks for having us. We really enjoyed our first "Group Ride". We'll be sure and look into more in the future. Got to meet a bunch of great people, see everyone elses bikes and farkles, and of course, RIDE! Thanks again! Robert and Lori Young BTW Ed, in your 1st photo it's...

Add me in! It will be my first group ride w/ anyone. May have the better half with me as well, however she can't seem to commit! I'd like to meet-up w/ anyone from my neck-of-the-neighborhood if possible.

For mini vacation, flew Jet Blue ($49 one way) to Seattle. Monday - Took-in Angels/Mariners game (Angels won, yea)! Tuesday - Rented Electra-Glide from Eaglerider/Seattle (I know, Harley, but that's all they had), rode out to Snoqualmie falls. Got rained on like no other. Had great rain gear...

Luckily they haven't met me either as it may have produced the same results!

Heading North, so maybe not you! Definitely grey and blue! I rarely commute on my FJR as I carpool w/ my wife daily. Wish I could.

at Brookhurst street about 4:30 Pm. I was on my way home from work when I noticed twin headlights w/ hard bags coming-up on me quickly. Didn't catch the year as I actually had to drive, however was blue and rider had on gray riding suit w/ blue helmet. Looked like a commuter for sure having much...

Sorry to hear you're confined. Rode out to Temecula Valley today! Awesome weather and ride! Ran into an FJR rider w/ a Honda (VFR 800 Intercepter I believe) partner (his wife). Also out enjoying the day! Late, Robert

Add another to the list. Info sent!

That's my nape of the neck of the woods (OK, no woods), however not me. I'm on an 03! My stomping grounds though! Robert

Necessity is the mother of invention. Even though mine appears to be too loose, it still has a very positive return. Working great so far. Thanks for the insight however just in case I change my mind!

Who's in the OCIR shirt? I used to live at that place! Great riding weather this week, huh?

I did use a check valve (Napa something or other). I also used Smitty's vacuum canister and recomendations for Gen 1 servo/vacuum canister placement. I'll test over the next few days, possibly adjust out some slack, and post-up the results.

Just finished install and test ride. All works, I assume properly. I did not have an oportunity to really travel far from home traversing hills, ups, downs, etc. My initial observation is that the engagement is exteremly slow ( perhaps 1 - 2 seconds). This may be self inflicted as I did leave...

Any spaces open up, or any last minute cancellations. I'd be available to fill-in!

P.S. Details of the ride (if you're in SoCal): Moorpark to 126, up the 5 (down the Grapevine), to 166 (Maricopa). Then turn right to 33, through Taft, up to the 58. Once you're out of Taft, it's really breath-taking! I mean, long sweeps, tight turns, grassy meadows that turn into trees, and back...

Ditto. Smitty can you also bring me an extra vac can and bracket. I will Paypal ASAP. Thanks, Robert

Key turns to the right (just like ignition, seat lock, side bags, etc.)! Release won't pull if you don't turn the key (just like bike won't run, seat won't remove, side bags won't remove unless you turn key)! Which way does bag come off? You're kidding right? OK, if you're not, UP! Oh yea, in...
