    Average age of FJR owners

    How 'bout 67? Been riding since long before electronic ignition & fuel injection. The FJR beats a Triumph Daytona any day.

    Anyone running with the Scotts Oil filter?

    I have had one for about 30,000 miles on my '03. It works just fine and eliminates the search for the oem type. Especially good on a long tour in sparsely populated areas--the best kind.

    Turbulence Killer?

    I cut my stock screen about an inch lower and shaped it round by overlaying my Road King screen over it,drawing with a marker ,cutting with a saber saw and cleaning with a file. No buffeting and lots of air when screen is fully retracted. It is OK in the rain when raised all the way. I use a...

    Saeng/TA Micro-Swirl Edging

    I use it on my "winter and touring" (tall) windscreen. I think it helps in reducing buffeting. I removed it from my "summer" (real short) screen because it restricts the airflow in the down position.

    How many are not happy with their Corbin seat

    I had Sargent re-foam,re-contour and re-cover my rider's seat. It was very reasonably priced and 20,000 miles later,I still love it. I have 27 1/2" inseam so it is lower,narrower than stock and I can reach the ground before I fall over. Contact them. They do good work for a fair price.

    Engineers or Mechanics?

    Started taking bicycles apart at age 7. Build a boat (er,supposed to be a boat-but sunk) at 10. Bought a BSA Bantam at 13 (1955) and took it apart to see how it worked because I couldn't get a license 'till age14. A good thing I had the time 'cause it took quite a while to make it run...

    Scotts Performance Billet Oil Filter

    I have a Scotts filter on my US '03. It has about 25,000 miles on it with no problems. I have had no trouble cleaning the filter at oil change time. I have used Mobil1 since about 5oo miles. I think the only real advantages are convenience-you don't have to go buy a filter-and Bling.

    Power Commander

    The PCIII on my '03 is the single best mod I have done. Much better response,smoother and cooler. I recommend it!

    Magnum Blaster vs. Freeway Blaster

    I installed the Nautilus Mini on my '03 using FJRandy's harness. It took a bit of black plastic removal but it works. This puppy is LOUD! The cagers are looking for a locomotive on the road! Paint

    Smartire ... anybody use it?

    I have Smartire on my '03. It was installed at the local shop whn they put on a new rear that leaked down on the freeway and left me stranded. I would never tour again without it.

    Install location for Nautilus horn

    My Stebel Compact arrived last Friday and I spent about 3 hours Saturday morning trying to find a place for it on my US '03 without success. I would really like to see how anyone else has done it. Paint

    Smoking

    +1 White smoke is always water (coolant for you young guys). Black smoke is carbon caused by too much fuel. Blue smoke is oil burning. Paint

    wilbers spring

    I have a 643 on my '03 from the first group buy. Put in the springs,too. I set the sag for solo and left the comp/rebound where Wilbers put it. I set the sag in the front solo and softened the comp/rebound 1 or 2 clicks. When two-up or loaded for a tour,I crank in about 2 1/2 turns of shock...
