    4x8 utility trailer haul a FJR

    If you're going to trailer the bike with your car/truck, I think a gentleman would let the wife ride in the vehicle.

    fjr lower bike

    Is it harder to get up the on the centerstand? I don't have any trouble with the stock geometry but it is heavy and having to lever it up another inch seems to me like a bit of a challenge. How's life without a centerstand?

    Audiovox CCS100 Poll - The First!! (but not final!!)

    Thought I'd follow up on this... I've determined the trouble was the check valve. Rather than acting as an "air-diode" it was more like an "air-resistor". In other words, it was leaking. I replaced it and while in there, I Tee'd in the other three vacuum ports. Now it's got the muscle it never...

    Skyway's Aux. Fuel Cell Kit

    Skyway should bebanned from this site and all references to his products, website, and 'business' purged. Someone else was banned and purged recently and this guy didn't steal ten grand from the board's members.

    Horns? Loud Horns!

    Magnum Baster's have saved me countless times from the single biggest road hazzard there is... ...an Explorer/Avalanch/Escalade-drivin' soccer-mom gabbering on a cell phone whilst yelling at the kids, fixing her makeup, and lane-changing. No kidding...I'd be dead now if it wasn't for the MB's...

    Skyway's FJR Sidestand Enlargement Footplate

    I am ASTOUNDED that this thread remains here collecting more customers considering how much money (thousands) is involved in the thread linked above.

    Skyway's Aux. Fuel Cell Kit

    I got dog piled last time I commented about this (note that I'm NOT mentioning laXXXrs, frXXd, intXXXXXte mXXl frXXd...oops...) but this can't be couched any other way. The guy should be removed from this board so that others searching for something don't accidentally assume he's reputable based...

    Carpal Tunnel Operation?

    Hey, My right wrist has gotten so bad now that I can't go ten minutes on the FeeJR without my thumb and index finger going numb. I went for the nerve conduction tests and came up positive moderate-severe nerve damage on the right arm and mild in the left. My orthopedist recommended the hand...

    First evasive maneuver

    First time in 15 years I had a near death experience and for the second time in three years ABS saved my arse. Here's the set-up: 40 mph 4-lane road. I'm in the right-most lane minding my own bidness. White Buick (WARNING!!! Buick's are disproportionately owned by, eh, old farts) sitting...

    New Cop Toy

    Overall I think this is pretty cool but should I be worried that the government is running around building a database of vehicle tags and their locations? That's what the guy said was one use of this pretty impressive tool. I also thought the police needed PC to run a plate. I guess this is an...

    2008 Gen II Racks

    I want something like that for an '05 with a backrest.

    I wish every bike was as easy to work on

    It's all relative. I think the FJR is a royal PITA for anything that requires work under the fairing. You need to work slow and pay attention the first time you try to get the fairing off or you'll end up with lots of leftover parts when you're 'done'. Don't ask me how I know this. :headbonk...

    Skyway's Aux. Fuel Cell Kit

    Nightshine, I think this is admirable and the right thing to do... ...but if it was some sort of event, why not just return all the money? The right and honorable thing to do is to tell us (or at least those whose money has been taken) what's going on, apologize, and offer refunds. Money's...

    Truck vs Scooter

    I'm pretty squeamish and didn't think it was that bad. It's taken from a traffic camera that's maybe 30' up and about 150' feet away. I mean, it's VERY clear that he's not walking away but it's not like you can see his nads or eyeballs popping out. I think it's probably good to watch at least...

    My First Dog!

    Before Puppy Chow... After 1 year of Puppy Chow... Unlike my (human) daughter, she doesn't know how many times she's come close to not living through the night!!! Just like real kids these beasts can be! They're fun in the end though. We didn't know it at the time, but the shelter we got...
