    Wanted: Crown, Handle (top fork clamp) Gen2

    Title says it all.  Want to tinker here, but my 2008 came with an aftermarket adapter plate. Stock fitting is a Crown, Handle P/N 3P6-23435-00-00. Willing to part with it?  PM if you will.  No wild rush . . .

    WTB digital TBS gauges

    WTB: Some time back, I saw a quad array of digital vacuum gauges for the TBS job.  It was a "home-made" unit, by a very competent guy, obviously working on his own.  The four digital readouts were mounted in a lab-enclosure box, neat but not fancy.  The price and performance factors were...

    New old guy here.

    Haven't been here in a while, so I thought I'd drop by and say Hey. Still riding the same 2008 FJR, added a few farkles, and it's Winter here. Snowstorm coming Monday.

    Timken front wheel bearings -none

    I come bringing the latest word from Timken tech support. SKF has not seen fit to respond as yet. I searched and did not find any posts here that could relate OEM front wheel bearings to Timken Part Numbers. I did find Timken info for rear bearings and steering head bearings, but none for...

    Equivalent Timken, SKF bearing #s?

    Time for new tires, and I thought maybe new front wheel bearings would be good, too. We have four Yamaha dealers within 50 miles, and nobody has the bearings, or the seals. One shop says the California warehouse has no seals, either. Does anybody know the equivalent Timken Part Numbers for...

    LED running lights - advice please

    If anybody here can help, it would be good to see some recommendations for reasonable LED running lights, at reasonable prices. These LED lights probably would have to be fairly recent offerings, because all of the older units have those amazing "first adopter' prices. A light intensity...

    widen the brake pedal?

    Not sure if this the right forum, but . . . I would like to get more of my foot onto the brake pedal, but due to a long-forgotten war, that is not happening, for me. The brake pedal position looks fine, so the lever is not bent, and I would not want it to be bent. I do not need the pedal any...

    Motorcycles and Invisibility

    Maybe this is not really my business; we all make our own decisions. I have seen a lot of posts lately saying that auxiliary lighting is the way to be seen, by otherwise careless cagers. I'd mostly agree, but when you are cresting a hill, or the sun is low behind you, any lights (or more...

    Shipping an FJR

    Supposin' for a moment that I found a good FJR for me, long distance, and supposin' that I could almost afford it . . . I'm not a member of the Iron Butt club, and I really do not own serious weather gear. I'd be crossing the Rockies coming back, and I know what can happen there, for weather...

    WTB 2005, found one.

    There is a chance for me to buy a 2005 with ~25k miles on the odometer. Since it is Gen1, I am concerned about the notorious Tick. From what I find in the archives, this mileage is still within limits, for a Tick to start on this bike. If Yamaha repaired the bike prior to 2006, then the same...
