    International seller of used cop shocks?

    Years ago there was a person, from another country other than the US, that was taking the rear shocks off of, I believe FJRs used for the police, and selling them. Does anyone know what his email was? Thanks for the help

    I am back and very happy

    I had a 2003 FJR 1300 a couple of years ago. I stopped posting and reading the forum because I traded it in on an F3-S Spyder. It wasn't bad and, it made the wife happy. I missed the FJR with a passion!! We used to live in PA and we moved to NV. We brought the Spyder with us. I rode it around...

    tire balancing beads?

    I am about to put new tires on my FJR. does anyone use these balancing beads? I was told by a guy riding a Harley that it makes the bike smoother. Would he really be able to tell? Harley do nothing but shake!! Are they worth it or should I just stay with the regular way of balancing them?

    rebuild at 30,000 miles?

    I am sorry. I know this is going to piss people off but, I need some help. I have been watching things on this website for a long time. I just happen to cross a section that was talking about changing the oil in the front forks. I also saw that someone said, " if your rear shock has 30,000 miles...

    FJR 1300 fork brace

    I just replaced the front tire on my 2003 FJR. This tire, like the last one, is cupped badly. The person that replaced the tire for me told me that I should look into getting a fork brace. He says that one of the things they do is reduce the amount of cupping. Does anyone know anything about...

    I know this has a thermostat but,

    My 2003 FJR is running hot and I think it needs a new thermostat. I can't find one to replace it with, am I nuts? If I ride this bike a short distance, it starts to get hotter than it ever has on the same trip. Where do I get a new thermostat or, is there something wrong with it otherwise? Yes I...

    can I do this and would it be safe?

    I some how got a nail in my rear tire. It is not a new tire but, it has many miles left on it. I have been told to not plug the tire but, can I place a tube in the tire to get the remaining miles out of it? If I can, would the tire be safe for the wife and I to ride on?

    is it just missing or, what is wrong with it?

    I have a 2003 FJR that just turned 20,000 miles. I know, it is a "new bike", but that is the problem. Sometimes when I start it, and sometimes not, it sounds as if it has a miss. When you drive it, it doesn't miss or sound like it is, and has plenty of power. It will still do it after I have...

    just a dumb question "F" on reserve?

    I know what the "F" means when I see it on the digital read out, I am on reserve. What I don't know and can't find anywhere is, how much fuel do I have and, how far can I travel on it? If it makes any difference I have a 2003 FJR 1300.

    Which rear tire?

    Which rear tire should I use? I live in PA and will ride the bike to work almost everyday. It has an Avon tire in the back now. I have owned the bike for less than a year, and I think it needs to be replaced. A friend told me I would get about 3000 more miles on it and that I should start...

    FJR headlights

    I have had my 2003 FJR 1300 for about a month. I love this bike more than any other that I have had! The headlights are fantastic! They will light up my way better than the lights on my Jeep. The question I have is this: At night when you are riding your bike, do you get flashed by cars coming...

    I just bought a 2003 FJR about 4 days ago. Great Bike!! The one thing it needs right now is a front tire. I thought I would just buy and replace it with the same size and type of tire that is on the bike now. When I started to search for the tire, Avon AV45-ST 120/70ZR17, I can not find it. Can...

    will my 2003 get that hot?

    I have a 2003 FJR with 14000 miles on it, I just bought it. I have been reading about these bikes for close to a year. I have read that the bikes built before 2006 are very hot. I understand that they don't overheat, but you get very hot in the seat. How true is that? I don't live in a town that...
