    2008 FJR 1300A

    Back issues are forcing me to sell my 2008 FJR 1300A. It currently has a little over 27000 miles. At 25000 I changed the oil, rear diff grease and brake fluid. Pilot road 3's have about 1200 miles on them. It is ready for a 5000 mile trip right now. I have added LED brake lights, LED driving...

    Calling all backyard engineers.

    I found these while perusing the internet and I thought it might do well center mounted below or above the headlight. 4000 Lumens is going to throw out a lot of light. Now I need help on how to mount them. Any ideas? https://stores.advmonster.com/f40-light-bar-with-spot-beam/

    New battery source.

    After 6 years I had to say goodbye to my battery. I called the sealer and they said $148. Ain't gonna happen captain. I went to Walmart and they don't have one the correct size. I started looking around online and most places wanted $90. Then I found Chrome battery...

    Brake issues

    I am normally a front brake kind of guy. I use both but always harder on the front. I was riding into work tonight and found myself on a lonely stretch of road so I said WTF. I pressed hard on just the back brake. Kind of like stepping on an over ripe tomato. My foot went almost vertical. Very...

    Forks leaking?

    My 08 FJR has been sitting since Dec. 10 when I injured my arm. It literally has not moved since then. All of a sudden it has developed a fork leak. Is this common. I can't see a new leak starting without exercising the seals at all.

    Fellow watermelon heads

    Is anyone using the Scorpion exo900 in XXXL. Will it fit in the saddlebags? I am using an exo400 in XXXL but I think the 900 has a slightly bigger shell.

    Bluetooth advice requested.

    It's time to get a new helmet. It's going to be a scorpion EXO900. Thats already cast in stone. It's the only flipup that will fit my watermelon head. I want to put a bluetooth headset in it, mainly for music from my Samsung smart phone. I'm using earbuds now but they're a pain. The only must...

    Problems with throttle lock

    Does any one recognize this throttle lock? What brand is it? When it locks it is great, it is solid and holds forever. But it doesn't lock most of the time. It may be heat related, the hotter it is the less it locks. It was on the bike when I bought it so I don't know what it is. Any help you...

    New brake light setup.

    Stop thief!

    I've been riding to work here for 20 years and no one has ever offered to mess with my stuff. This evening I get out to my bike and my airhawk is gone. The straps under the seat were cut. We have a fenced in secured guarded parking lot, so I know that it was someone here. God help him/her if I...

    Year around riding gear.

    I ride year around in south Alabama. I see temp extremes of 110 down to low teens. Is there a two piece setup that can go to both extremes. I am in the need of a new set of gear as my firstgear stuff is ten years old now and basically worn out. My biggest problem finding gear is sizing. I am...

    I have lost a link.

    At one time I found a post on here that listed a lot of FJR consumable parts (light bulbs, spark plugs...) and cross referenced other brands that work as replacements. If anyone knows the post I am talking about I would really appreciate a point in the right direction.
