Hey all, it's about that time again, let's put together a RTE in the next month or so. I've got the transmission recall on the '18 so may be on one of my other bikes, but will show up on something. Jim in Mims, FL

On the heels of a great RTE "adventure" we had this last weekend, I thought I'd start a new thread for another on sometime Feb-Mar-April 2020.  Tony suggested Cowpokes in Sebring and that looks pretty good to me: https://cowpokeswh.com/ They have a pretty good menu and look like their business...

Happy Veterans' Day to all my fellow vet riders.  I am retired USN/USNR CPO,  7 yrs active, 18 reserve.  I was a SSBN MT on a 598 class FBM.  I really saw more of the world as a reservist, spending time on 2 different frigates and at NATO in Bavaria. My father was WWII USN, brother USMC...

Either buy, or if you have one I can look at and maybe duplicate, that would work too. I have a Gen II dash shelf on the bike I recently sold to 101stPathfinder, but don't know how much they're different than a Gen III dash. If you have one to loan to me, I'll pay shipping both directions and...

The weather is cooling off, maybe we ought to think about a RTE here sometime?  I'm somewhat constricted on time between now and the new year as I'll be traveling here and there, but we can still toss it around-

I now own a new '18A and will retire my '09A w/121K miles. Discussion is about change of regulator location and charging harness. On my Gen II, the regulator was down near the swingarm in the back. Power to the battery was degraded because it went through the main harness on the left side of...

I've got a new '18A coming and need the front Canyon Cage engine guards. Yes, I know T-Rex and R-Gaza make them and will get a set of those if need to, but I like the design of the CC better so holding out I'll find some. I have the rear guards on my '09 that will fit. Dash shelf by N-Line...

Not mine, at a dealer in Effingham, IL. I bought one this morning (put the deposit down via CC). I figured to pass this on. He said he had 10 of them and after mine, there's 2 left. Price breaks down as: $10999 advertised price 410 freight 467 setup 179.50 doc fee 723.33 6% sales tax...

I have found a great deal on an '18A and thinking of getting it. I want to take as many of the farkles from my '09A as possible. I know that basically the tank back is the same. My rear Canyon Cage pannier guards will fit, but will need new fronts for the '18. (Yes, I know CC is out of...

My '09A has 115K miles on it and I'm giving it an all around maintenance update including some work on the suspension. I took the fork caps off, drained and flushed fluids and installed some Wilber's progressive rate springs that I had bought along with the rear shock some yrs back here on the...

If anyone is planning to go to Daytona this weekend and go into the speedway, I have a swap meet spot again. I won't have any FJR parts except maybe a part or two, but stop by, take a load off, and visit for a while. I'll have a cooler full of bottled water for refreshment, and maybe something...

I have been contemplating selling both my '09A and '07 VStrom and getting either a new FJR or a S10. Right now I'm scouting leftover deals. I have the Hillview websight on my favorites. Does anyone know of others that are selling either bike as new '17 model yr or older? FJR would be Gen 3...

As the title says. Power cord a plus! I still have my original car mount, which is not as waterproof, but I'm really looking for a MC mount. I have a couple of extra 550s that I picked up used and plan to add a 2nd to my dash for redundancy and alternative routing. Anyone got one out there...

Hey all, we need to think about getting the gang back together sometime in April. It's going to be hotter than hades again before we know it, so let's think about someplace to meet up, OK? I was thinking one of two areas - and these are just suggestions - but either Vero Beach to maybe Stuart...

If anyone is going this weekend, I have a swap meet spot so stop by! Row 45, space 1034. Not much for fjr parts except some used rear tires, a new Conti-motion front, and my old tire machine. I do have a place to sit and rest, talk a bit, and a cold drink. Come on by if you can!

I have a Coats 200 tire changer + a balance axle/cones/rollers. I recently purchased and installed a No Mar setup and have no need of the Coats. I bought the Coats some 20 yrs ago from a local biker who got it when an unauthorized HD shop closed nearby in '88 or so. I have changed many tires...

I decided to start a new thread and will put the info that was on a post by me after the Solomon's Castle RTE. We need to pick a date, and June is busy for me. I'm leaving June 7 through the 13th for the Hoagy's Heroes LD run here...
