I bought this quite some time ago paying $145. I wanted to use it with the Garmin 665 XM option, but wanted to eliminate wires. The SM10 works great, but the fidelity of the music through the 665 was not good enough for me to pay what they want for it. So, this has been sitting in the box with...

OK folks. It's getting closer to that time of year again. Looks like the tech day will be a little earlier due to when the dates fall. I don't want to do it the week before SEO Ramble, so it will be two weeks before. Official Tech day to be Saturday April 18, 2020.  What thinks you? Ray? Bill...

I need an adaptor for a leak tester for the FJR. What size is spark plug threads? 10 mm?

Got a call from my brother David last night. The engine on the 07 gave up the ghost at 104k. Way too young. Engine seized. Metal visible in the oil. No indication of impending failure. He is looking for an engine. I have a line on another 07 with 74K, but he is looking at engines first. Any...

Due to my new job, I am unable to have my tech day in April. I will be attending the SEO Ramble the first weekend in May, so I am proposing to have it 5/19 or 5/26. Which weekend works best. Once the date is set I will modify this post with relevant information. I was just reminded that the...

I have made lifelong friends through the FJR forums. I have a personal connections with them that will continue outside the forum. It is just time to move on. If you want to know why then contact me outside the forums. I am done here.

I hope everyone is sitting down. I went on a ride this weekend and stopped and took pictures. First picture is the Dan Ingalls overlook on 39 just out of Goshen, VA We did something different this year. Instead of just stopping in Cass and taking pictures of the train, we took the half day...

I have one item for sale and one free including shipping:(George shamed me into by giving away his GEN I) Spot Gen II - Works great. I upgraded to a Gen III pay shipping (this does require a paid plan with Spot) The second item is one I bought by mistake. It is an Admore light kit for a...

Hey all. Our annual foliage ride is usually kind of impromptu, but we have been talking about doing something different this year. Taking the train ride out of Cass to Bald Knob. I have inquired with the Old Clark as to their availability for the weekend of October 14-18 and they are wide open...

Just finished performing my first TBS at 15K. Got it all set up and they were not even close. Found two of the vacuum screws closed and the other two barely cracked. that would lead me to believe that it was never even done on the initial setup. It will be interesting to see if I notice any...

Well folks, it looks like vendors have really tightened their purse strings this year. I have been pushing hard, but have gotten a limited response. A great deal of the "usuals" have not responded at all. I have some stuff, but not nearly the quantities of the past. I have reached out for the...

Just made my reservation for this weekend. It is always a blast and Andrea and Nelson are great innkeepers. I just snagged the last room with a private bath. All of the rooms with shared baths are still available. We will ride out Friday morning for a late afternoon arrival. It would be great to...

I didn't take a lot of pictures in SEO and the only riding I did Saturday was in a taxi, I still had a blast. I was just happy to be done with the outage at work. Things were looking a lot better at work and it appeared that the outage was going to be over before I took off. We prepared the...

If someone has a fork apart could you measure the OD of the damping rod. I want to know if the tubing I have has a large enough ID to make my cartridge removal tool. Or if someone should happen to know it. Thanks!

I am making a fork cartridge removal tool, but I need know the diameter of the plunger. I want to use 1/2" thin wall stainless tubing instead of heavier 3/4" pipe(as displayed by another user). Does anyone have that dimension or have one apart and can measure it for me?

Is there a way to hold the fork cartridge to remove the bottom bolt without the factory tool?

This is a used dash shelf. I bought it and put it on my '07, but didn't use it. It has some extra holes that were drilled in it by the previous owner for mounting particular farkles and shows some wear, but nothing a fresh coat of paint couldn't remedy. I am selling for what I paid for it. If...

I have two jackets that I am putting up for sale. The first is a Joe Rocket Ballistic. This is an older model that compares to the current Ballistic Adventure. This jacket is like new. It has been worn maybe 3-4 times. It has just been hanging with my gear and hasn't been worn since 2009 I...
