I am posting this question for Scott Thornton who was riding a new to him FJR on the Mason Dixon 2020 rally a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, after only a few hours into the rally, Scotts FJR's clutch self destructed. I guess he is trying to put the pieces back together and had the...

WTB: Pair of front brake rotors to fit 07. I believe front rotors from 04 thru to 07 will work. PM me if you have a set.

SOLD: New Hi Viz Aerostich Darien jacket, size XL, $250.00 + shipping. New condition Hi Viz Aerostich Darien Jacket size XL. I purchased the jacket from a colleague but unfortuantely it was too big for me. Jacket has no marks or stains and still retains the new Aerostich "stiffness". $250 +...

Just read the following article in the morning paper...(btw: I live in Ontario, Canada). "The United States lost its top-notch AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s on Friday in an unprecedented reversal of fortune for the world’s largest economy. S&P cut the long-term U.S. credit rating by...

Need some urgent help! On my way out to the start of the IBR. Sometime in the last 140 miles my rear drive started leaking oil. Pictures below. The rear wheel was clean this morning and when I stopped at Iggy's, I noticed some oil drips on the rear wheel. Below are some pictures? Any idea...

After the finish of the IBR in Ontario, California, I would like to replace my oil prior the ~2800 miles trip home. I may need other service as well. Can anyone recommend a good dealer in the Ontario, California area?

Only a few weeks left!.. How is everyone doing with bike/personal preps? I fixed some bugs that showed up during the Cape Fear rally. I want to replace my brake pads and other than lots of last minute tinkering and time wasting, I should be good to go.... Perry

Just purchased a 2002 Honda ST1100. Bike has 111,000kms or about 70,000 miles. Should be good for a few more miles. Will be picking it up this week. First impressions on the test ride was that it was very smooth with noticeably less power than the FJR. Sometimes one bike is not enough.

If interested, below is a link to pictures and a brief description of my Talldragger style auxiliary fuel tank install. This is my second installment of my How To: Long Distance Motorcycle. It has taken me longer than expected to post due to my focus on preparing for the 2011 Iron Butt Rally...

Typical of the ever popular Cape Fear rally, registration was only open a few hours before all starting positions were filled.... So who is in? I am starting in NY. Had a quick look at the others starters and my initial goal of a top 10 finish changed to "don't finish last".

It is time for me to give back something to this forum. I have now had my 07 FJR for a little over a year. Those that have seen my FJR, know that I have installed a lot of farkles to make it my ideal long distance riding bike. Over the next coming months I will be publishing posts on my...

I know this is probably a long shot, but worth a try. Next June I am riding in the Iron Butt Rally. I would really like to find a set of replacement wheels so that I can have the replacement wheels with new rubber already installed and waiting for me at the first checkpoint. If anyone has a...

Thought I would start off with a formal introduction and a little of my story.... I know a couple of you and others I saw at the IB5000 but did not get a chance to meet you. I work as a Professional Mechanical Engineer at a Nuclear Power Plant and live in Ontario, Canada. I will be a rookie in...

Looking for a spare clutch handle for a Gen II. Hoping someone may have a handle lying around that may have been scraped during a tip over etc but is still in serviceable condition. I would like to carry a spare handle with me during a rally. Does not need to be pretty but needs to be able to...

WTB: A used hydration system from the company"whos name shall not be named" but sorta sounds like Biway. I have no intention of even trying to buy new (if that is even possible!). I was able to pick a used system a month ago and I would like another for the opposite side. Would like have the...

I am looking for a radiator cover for a Gen II. A search of the forum turned up recommendations for the Cox cover but this cover appears to be available for the Gen I only. There is little feedback on the Meissner or Metisse covers. I am not interested in DYI. Can anyone provide feedback on...
