I'm fairly sure there are a few pilot and aircraft mechanic/builder types on the forum, and they might find my latest project amusing or interesting. I've been flying since late '84, and airplane ownership has always been a dream of mine. Being just a regular working guy, for all these years I...

Here's a story about a trip that I finished just over four months ago. It started on Oct 30 and ended on Nov 11. Normally I would try to get something posted much sooner, but I've been so busy with work and other projects recently that I just haven't been able to get on the forum for quite some...

I've got a set of Beowulf stainless steel oval 450mm exhausts that need a new home. I installed them back in April and they have only 7200 miles on them. They look great on the bike, and they sound really cool. A bit louder/deeper than stock, but not obnoxious. The only reason I'm selling them...

Hi all, I've run into a bit of a roadblock and I'm hoping that someone here can offer some suggestions. I did a search but found nothing applicable. I'm replacing the OEM rubber brake lines on my '12 with a Galfer S/S brake line kit. I'm not adding the kit for any improvement in braking...

My buddy Pete and I usually try to get two big rides done every year...7-10 days in the spring and again in the fall. Normally in the spring, we'd leave in late May, but this year the vacation bids didn't allow that, so we had to leave in late April. Touring that early in the year means no...

I've got a brand new '06-'07 FSM that I don't need anymore. It's never been opened, still wrapped in plastic. My '06 FJR was totaled, and I just acquired a new FSM for my '12. This thing is just taking up space on the shelf. Although brand new, it does have a scuff mark on the back cover from...

I've ridden through JTNP quite a few times recently, and I've thought it might be interesting to check out at night sometime when the full moon was present. Last night the moon was full, and as an adult I can stay up as late as I want, so I headed out for a 140 mile loop. It was quite...

It's not my bike, but my buddy has a spare FJR that he needs to sell to gain some garage space. I don't think he's a member of this forum, so I'll just post a link to his Cycle Trader listing: https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2008-Yamaha-Fjr1300-A-117435210 He bought it new in 2009 and rode...

I just made a quick pass through Death Valley two+ weeks ago while tagging along on the group ride that Tyler put together. We came into DV from the Panamint side, and I only had time to made a quick loop through Artist's Drive and then a dash up to Dante's View before heading to the Longstreet...

I've got a spare set of side case inner bags from my 2012 that I need to clear out of the closet. One bag was used for a few days on the delivery ride from FL to CA, and the other side is unused with the Yamaha tag still attached. The usual price on the forum seems to be around $50; let me know...

I just completed a ride last week that wasn't on an FJR, but I WANTED to be riding an FJR. I hope that's close enough so that I can post a RR here. I've ridden in New Zealand once before, back in 2001. My brother and I rented Yamaha XJ-900s in Auckland and did a 4-day loop of the North Island...

I have a PC V that needs a new home. I bought it from Fuel Moto in August of 2012 and ran it for 18000 miles on my '06. My bike got totaled and I don't need the PC on my new '12. It has the Fuel Moto "smoothness" map installed for the '06/'07 FJRs and their jerky throttles. I'm sure it could be...

Hi all, A few days ago I returned my usual fall tour with my beloved FJR in the back of a rental truck. The ride had gone really well, and we had ridden through central Utah and the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument, Grand Teton/Yellowstone NPs, Beartooth Pass, Chief Joseph Scenic...

I have a set of original bag liners from my '06 FJR available to whoever wants them. PayPal the shipping cost, and we'll call it even. The bags are in perfect condition, except for a flaw in the outboard zipper on the left bag. A few teeth are misaligned, so the zipper hangs up and won't open...
