    Waterproof tailbag-not for Feejur

    Need a tailbag to mount on the Matchless rear carrier. Nelson Rigg have a nice one at 80 bucks! Don't want to spend those $$$ now and besides, a glossy new one has no worldly 'patina' and would look out of place. Hi vis would be good though. TIA

    1960 Matchless 350. - Worth considering purchase?

    Thought I would put this out there as I know loads of you guys are fans and have experience of owning/maintaining old Brit bikes. I would appreciate any thoughts/opinions etc on the desirability/popularity (or otherwise), of said bike. It belongs to a family friend in the UK and I viewed it...

    Anyone have a Brodie or similar grounding harness to sell?

    Just been grazed by a passing spider and want to nip it in the bud before the poison spreads. Can anyone sell me a harness or suggest who still makes them so I can order one? Think I've read and have been advised that Brodie no longer supplies them. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Found these stored under the seat

    Took the side bags off today in preparation for impending top case arrival and fitted the plastic blanking plates which were in a bag under the seat. Also in the bag are two black rubber pads about 3/4 inch square and 3/8 inch thick with one face of each being convex. Any ideas what they are...

    Clutch soak in situ?

    So when coming to a temporary halt at signals, in traffic, etc etc, if the tranny is left in first gear as I usually do, is oil more able to circulate between the clutch plates and would this have a beneficial effect on clutch operation? I don't have any issues with the clutch operation on my...

    Sighting Near Valrico Florida today

    Hi to the rider going west along Bloomingdale about 0635 today. I saw a familiar tail light and came alongside your FJR, model unknown, too dark. Gave a wave but didn't see a reply. You must have turned off before me as I lost sight of you.
