'FJRHopeful' (Scott)...I've read the entire thread, was as if I were there. reminded me of when I piloted the Feeger through the same routes. You sure do have a great playground up north. Keep the shiney side up... Unk :thumbsupsmileyanim:

This is for those of you who havn't replaced your tires yet or in a while. I just installed a new set of Avon's, (purchased through https://www.fjrgoodies.com saving $50. over my local vendor even with shipping costs) and experienced the smoothest 200 mile ride I can remember. Now it might have...

Absolutely... When I purchased and installed a new Cal-Sci +4" for my '05, I was inclined to post a ride report. However in that report I would not have been completely honest had I not mentioned the negetive handling effects associated with the larger "airdam". Not wanting to discourage buyers...

:blink: I know it's a little off subject but inquiring minds want to know...How Fast? :yahoo: I'm wondering if anyone has met or exceded the claimed 10.24 ET, 124MPH 1/4 mile time? :dirol:

Speed to gear chart for Gen I FJRs. Speed to gear chart for Gen II FJRs. Looking at the two charts here, the Gen II bikes are able to "exceed" 60 M.P.H. while still in first gear, compared with Gen I bikes that have to be shifted into second gear in order to reach 60 M.P.H. So does it stand...

I could use a couple of inches added too :yahoo: (just joking) ...If you're looking to cut wind noise like I was and stop the deterioration of hearing ability... :clapping: What ? (actually a good excuse :glare: at home from time to time) then I suggest a nice tall Cal-Sci...

John, what state will you be traveling to in order to pick up your new ride ??

Thanks for that...I'd read about the ship coming into the bay and now I've seen it. From Long Beach, home of the Original QM

Shit For Brains For Sure!

I'm out of So. Calif...once flew into San Jose and was picked up by a company car for the ride to Monterey...seems as though its about an hour drive. Cab fare would be stiff, but try one of the airport shuttles. Check with the hotel in Monterey about San Jose Airport pick up service, bet you'd...

Now I am confused ... when I read that it shimmyied again after a new fron tire was installed... cause thats typically the cause, when the front starts cuppin a little. If yer front tire is new and has a good balance, get some wrenches out and make shur everything is tight, right on down to the...

Another option if ya havn't been ...there would be to ride north up the coast to San Francisco

Not sure only guessing here...if the terminal connections are carrying "milivolts" (less than the full 12 volts), then the grease also ensures against even the smallest amount of corrosion that will impede electron flow ... Its all about trouble-free motoring in the future, long after the...

10-4 on that ... The most effective way to "blow dry" :download: gets everywhere, fast and thoroughly ! When yer done with the bike, blow the garage out, then hit the porch and :good: walks, hell ... open up the cars and blow the seats and carpet, blow the cat :wacko: away too. Best...

Not quite sure whats static implies ... would that be like spinning the wheel assembly while mounted on the motorcycle, such as the way they used to balance car tires ? No, It's the wheel mounted on a rod with bearings with this more info Here GalaxyBlue, thanks for the excellent link

So Spunk....reg in Nevada or something ??? Work at the DMV ??? We all want to know how you did a out of state purchase and got reg in Cali ??????? From what I hear, as long you know someone in another state willing to allow you to use their address for DMV registration your good to go. once you...

Not quite sure whats static implies ... would that be like spinning the wheel assembly while mounted on the motorcycle, such as the way they used to balance car tires ?

just realized :huh: the vendor I've used for the last three tire installs only uses a simple "bubble balance" machine to balance the new tire installation on my wheels. A few dealers I've called say they use the "spin balance" method. Last summer, out on the open road, I snuck up on 130 MPH...
