Add me to the list of satisfied Seal Mate users... Just used it to cure a small leak on my right front fork. A few tips to share (these only apply if you are working at home and not on the side of the road..). - I used a hair dryer to soften the fork protectors and the dust seals before...

This thing is a hoot! Check out the link at this site (this is one of those online mags) - there's the obligatory YouTube video about halfway down the article. https://www.gizmag.com/soundracer-v8-video-...tm_medium=email

Okay, I'll bite.. although it is a bit early in the week for Friday's antics... Why are you asking about a Honda on the FJR forum? No offense to anyone's expertise, but I'm sure the Honda forum can provide you more info about that bike...

Along with the Eastwood site (www.eastwood.com) - which for those not familiar with Eastwood, is a very nice site for finding lots of repair /esoteric tools for those working in restoring /maintaining vehicles; here is the site of the plastic repair company whose product was used to do the...

One last post again.. we discussed the torque process /specs but not how the plastic tab was repaired. I used a kit from the Eastwood Company (see www.eastwood.com and I have no association with) for repairing the broken tab (link below). They call it a "rigid plastic repair kit"; you can get...

I'll close this thread with these answers /comments to the open questions. Yes, the spring clip was able to crush the mounting tab - I had to pry open the clip to remove the pieces. The bike has not been dropped or hit by something, so I do not expect that to be a reason. Was it a bit of...

You basically need to find a way to apply the solvent (my recommendation is WD40) and keep it on the spot for some time, in order to begin dissolving the remainders. See if you can hold it with a paper towel wadded up while holding that with a piece of plastic over it.. you get the idea. The...

I should have added the reason for looking for this answer.. [Note: Serious tone mode turned on] As a result of a "just snuggin' it up tight" (by yours truly) application of hand-applied torque, the threaded spring clip crushed the retaining tab of one of the plastic panels... The fragility...

Interestingly enough a search of this subject brought up nothing in either the FSM or the forum or FJRtech... I would have sworn I had read something in the forum but cannot find it. The factory shop manual lists a "generic" recommendation for a M6 bolt of 4.3 foot-pounds (too big - these are...

Over on this side, we have a road (MA Rt2 East - West) where they did something similar over sections that they have recently paved this year... but because we tend to have snowplows on the road in winter, they recessed the reflectors creating a shallow but long potholes in the lane dividers...

Drug tests..? You are asking if we do drug tests..? OK.. Sure, send them over and we'll test them for ya! Famous quote from a founder of FTP Software...

Hi Fred, While I am not sure if this will be what you are looking for, below is a link to the Brookstone web page. They have added a heated insole along with the heated sock liners /glove liners this year. See this link (it should open to a list of products)...

I have the Grip Puppies (over the stock grips) and the G2 on my '06 - both have made throttle control at small openings much more precise and even possible! The G2 is definitely the must get for the '06 to help make it easy to control. Have not bothered with the cable slack - there's a bit but...

Thanks to all for posting the pics.. I did see the notice but could not join this year (still nursing a knee surgery) - but hope to try for next year one and meet some of you! Regards, Luis

Hi, Got this from a friend - seems to take the auto tranny concept to be more-inclusive (judging from the YouTube video) by giving you either full manual or full auto or a mix of both. Purported for the 2010 VFR1200. See for yourself at the video below. Cheers! Luis *******************...

I've had a pair of these for two years now (Bohn pants). I choose the lowers (pants) since I already had what I felt was a significant amount of protection /armor in my jacket. My experiences have definitely matched the previous comments from those who have them; I would add that they do add...

Hi Brodie! Please count me in for the next build & advise ordering instructions when you are ready. Apologies for the PM - sent before I saw note about your overloaded mailbox. Thanks for doing this! Luis

Hi all, Just did a short jaunt out West yesterday (12/3). Starting in Westford, rode out Rt 2, out past Gardner until Rt 68, headed north up til Rt119 in NH which I followed back East. Only saw a couple of other bikers, both on full-size cruisers and wearing snow mobile outfits while I was on...

I'll add a comment but first I must point out that I did not have my detector (a Valentine V1) with me at the time so I cannot provide any additional backup to prove it was a laser or other. On two occasions, I have been lasered while riding on the FJR and on both occasions there was a strange...

I did.. but we haven't got the weather the Midwest has seen over here in New England (been in the 30's to 40's here). Rode yesterday too, through two snow squalls in the Bershire's (small mountain range in the west of Massachusetts - not at all like the mountains of the Rockies!) in...
