I am considering swapping from a Gen 2 to a Gen 3 in advance of riding the Iron Butt Rally in 2017. A huge part of the decision will be based on whether a number of the aftermarket bits on my Gen 2 will swap over to a Gen 3. Chiefly, I'm wondering about the following parts: 1. Russell Day-Long...

I have a spare rear wheel for my 2008 Gen II FJR. The wheel is complete- magnetic ABS sensor, brake disc, etc. are all in place. It currently has (and will ship with) a Pilot Road II with a few thousand miles left on it. The wheel was purchased for the 2011 Iron Butt Rally. I shipped it ahead to...

In case I haven't mentioned it yet, if you plan on going to the International Motorcycle Show between now and March 2013, I have a discount coupon code you can use for as many tickets as you want if you order them online. The code is AH2013. It will save you $3.00 per ticket if you buy 2 weeks...

I just bought a spare rear wheel for my 2008 Gen II. All good, except the salvage yard removed the ABS magnet rotor from the wheel. They're sending it to me now, but the three bolts that fix it to the wheel are missing. Does anyone have a part number or any specs on these bolts? I'm trying to...

I just scored a rear wheel for my FJR that I'll be riding in the Iron Butt Rally. I'm sending this wheel ahead to the Jacksonville, FL checkpoint. The problem is, the guy I bought it from sent it to me minus the rear wheel ABS sensor magnet. Does anyone know where I can find one on extremely...

Well, I just scored a 2010 rear wheel for the JAX checkpoint- awesome! I got it from a salvage yard and it included the brake rotor. It arrived today with a few things missing. It looks to be in great shape, but the rotor is loose- no bolts. Also missing is the flippin' ABS rotor magnet. The...

I have a buddy who lives in Jacksonville who will be at the checkpoint with a small truck. He has no mechanical skills to speak of, but I'm sure he's willing to do some minor assistance, such as dropping express mail boxes of unneeded/ dirty gear or checkpoint tools at the post office, disposing...

I'm going to be riding the Iron Butt Rally in June, and want to get all set up for the mid-rally tire swap. Does anyone have any leads on Gen II ABS rear wheel available for sale or loan? I figure the easiest way to go about things is to have a tire set up, tire mounted and balanced, at the...

I just got home from a 2,000 mile ride recently. Before I left, I have replaced both tires, and I'm pretty sure I got everything mounted back up just fine. After I got home, I peeled off the bodywork and am in the process of installing some HIDs up front. while I was taking a break from wiring...

I just thought I'd try this out to see if I'm posting right. I want to ensure I'm not posting where it's visible to the general public...

The first thing I'd ask, of Dale specifically, is what the stance is on discussing rider-priviledged information in this venue. My default would be to assume that nothing should be discussed here that isn't discussable publicly. Alex in Bakersfield

I started fitting my TAT to my FJR last week. The plan was to get it done in time to give it a local road test of a few miles, then a dozen or so miles, then ride the whole thing Bakersfield-Oakland-Concord-Bakersfield over the weekend, as I had Naval Reserve duty this weekend. I ran out of time...
