I had been using the Purolator PL14610 for awhile now, and bought one a few weeks ago at WallyMart. I put it on and immediately noticed that the rubber seal was not contacting the sealing surface. In looking at it, they have changed the design of the threaded portion so it is convex now...

I have a pair of OEM mirrors from a 2010 in Silver that are in great shape. I have another guy considering them right now, but I'll post back if he doesn't want them.

Hey there, if you still need the mirror, I have both the left and right off of my 2010 FJR just sitting around doing nothing. How about $75 plus shipping for both of them? I can get you pictures tonight if you want. Don

Ok, here it is nearly a year after my original post. Yes, I did not complete the B2B back then, but I am gearing up to try again next week. This time, since I live in Phoenix, AZ, I am going to start in Algodones, MX and finish in Coutts, AB. I'm thinking of starting at about 8:00pm on a...

Looks like some severe weather just north of ABQ

There is a boneyard on Coors Rd named Southwest Cycles (505) 877-5272. It is at 2623 Coors Blvd SW, which is about 14 miles from the Sheraton. Call and speak to Theresa, she is a saint! Tell her that Don the Iron Butt guy sent you!

Thanks BritRider for the explanation. I noticed that there is a huge traffic backup in Estes Park. I hope the rider is just stuck in the traffic, and not part of the problem...

Where did the one go that was east of Provo? They didn't move for a long time, and now it's gone. I hope they just had trouble with their Spot...

Just wondering if anyone knows why the Spotwalla map https://spotwalla.com/locationViewer.php?id=283 for the rally folks still shows them scattered all over ABQ intead of all in the parking lot at the Sheraton?

Final update: I've been riding in stop and go traffic for a few weeks now, and have not seen any more of the ABS warning light. Looks like cleaning and lubing the brake pivot fixed the problem!

Harald, Funny you ask that today. I just did the brake pedal maintenance yesterday afternoon! It was actually very easy. I noticed some areas of the pivot that were showing wear, and others that had grungy stuff on them. Cleaned everything up with solvent and steel wool, greased, and put...

I have kind of a weird problem with the ABS light on my 2010 FJR. As far as I can tell, the ABS works fine (tested in parking garage), but when I am in stop and go traffic maneuvering with rear brake and clutch lever, the ABS light will come on and stay on until I restart the bike. I've tried...

Rob, This is what I ordered from McMaster-Carr: I got the white screws, but they have them in black as well: 1 94879A328 Metric Nylon Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw, M5 Size, 20 mm Length, 0.8 mm Pitch, packs of 100 1 pack 8.41 per pack

SFCJCA, do you have a route you could show me for the AZ in-state? Thanks, Don

Steve, check your windshield mounting screws, the plastic ones underneath the "W" shaped piece. When I was riding through Idaho on I-15, it was REALLY windy, and I noticed my windshield flopping around a lot. While cleaning the windshield the next morning, I thought, "this ain't right" and...

Google "sex nut" or joint connector nut. It's the stuff that Ikea uses for knock down furniture. I bought mine at Ace Hardware from the box marked METRIC Joint Connector Bolts.

Congratulations! So, was I-15 open just northeast of Las Vegas near Mesquite when you did your run?

Well, I didn't get to attempt my B2B Insanity after all. I took a nice 4 day ride from Phoenix up through western Colorado, and through Yellowstone (the long way around since a road was closed) and stopped in Big Sky, MT. The next morning I was planning on riding up to Shelby, MT to get ready...

I've since changed up my gas stops so I could hit the 24 hour truck stops, like Pilot and Loves, especially since I can only go about 200 miles or so at a time. I will post up that changed route and planning spreadsheet when I get back to my work PC on Tuesday. I'm still planning on leaving...

Good call on the BYU schedule! There is a home game on Thursday Sept. 11 at 7:00pm, right as I'm going to be passing through. Should I make Wednesday or Friday my B2B run day to avoid the game traffic? I like the fact that the HOV lane on I-15 is restricted access, much less chance for an...
