Dude, I just lurk in the shadows of the FJR forum but I have to come out to say that is a great song. Go good at somebody's wedding - or funeral.

I adjusted my 2006 handlebars in May and there are only three positions. It wasn't real easy. I wanted my bars as far back as possible and the holes did not want to line up. I kept working with it till it went together correctly. It seems like that offset hole is for a pin.

you might use an auto body repair tool. You can get these at Northern Tools or you could make one. What I have is a sliding hammer that is attachet to a small "L" or hook. Stick the hook in the bearing hole and use the sliding hammer to knock it out. There is also the old reliable last resort...

I have spent about 18 hours sitting on my butt on a very cold concrete floor polishing the wheels on my 2006 FJR. I'm still not quite finished. It's not worth it. The polished part which is the flat horizontal section looks pretty good but the fact that the spokes and the hub are still rough...

That's what im talking bout! Those wheels look awsome. I never understood if or how aluminum can be chromed, but it's obvious that those are the original FJR wheels. I am a machinist so I naturally thought I could polish the wheels myself. Not going too well though. At least it's good wheel...

Does anyone have any experience polishing the original FJR wheels? Can it be done and if so how is the best way? Saw a R1 the other day with beautiful chrome looking wheels and decided the FJR would look even better with same. After market wheels are too expensive IMO. Tex

thanks for the info, sounds like a blast. I have only ridden with my wife and her Honda Shadow since I got the FJR. Not sure I would know how to act/ride with experienced rice burners. The FJR has exceeded my wildest dreams for sure. We will plan to do a OST ride ASAP.

excuse my ignorance but what's OST?

It could be worse - we could be Harley owners and need a phase 1, 2 . or 3 modification to make our rides just keep up with the traffic.

You may want to go to a machine shop. They will be able to straighten your wheel good enough to get you going. But now that I think of it, you might be better renting a uhaul and loading up the bike.
