    OEM Shock

    I'm selling the stock shock from my 2008. Put the Wilbers on my 2008 from my '05 and the oem's never been used-brand new. Asking $500.00/BO (reasonable). Keep it around in case my Wilbers needs to be serviced unexpectedly but have two other bikes anyway-so what the heck. Can PM me or email...

    Texting, top heavy FJR and Pain

    A little editorial: Have been off the Board for a while and just read about Madjackdog's injury due to an idiot with a cell phone-made me so pissed I had to describe this: On my way back from Americade, on #29 in the middle of nowhere, young female idiot in a jeep coming the opposite direction...

    Lowering links

    After using several different types of lowering links, I found the perfect solution. Soupysperformance (www.soupysperformance.com) sells a turnbuckle style that allows you to lower, then raise the bike again to any height without removing the dogbones each time. Just loosen two nuts on each...

    Spring Justice

    Out for the first ride of the year up in the Adirondack Mountains with snow still on the ground and the lakes frozen. New Muzzy header and audiovox working flawlessly. On the way back, coming out of Old Forge where the speed limit increases to 55, I test the audiovox and set it for 60, when...

    Signs of Spring

    I have seen sure signs of an early Spring, in the following order of arrival: Flocks of robins- Flocks of geese- Flocks of red winged black birds- Harley rider with German helmet, fixed, scowling, baleful glare- Decent roads and riding weather is not far behind!!!

    Idle Issue?

    I am wondering if anyone else with a Gen II is experiencing a fluctuating idle, or are aware of any problems with the control chip. My '08 has experienced this from the day it was new. The idle goes uppity downity, not a lot - almost imperceptible on the tach, but noticeable. It does this...

    BK Racing Nitro fuel control device

    Wondering if anyone has come across the BK Nitro chip that plugs into the temp sensor and has a number of different pre-set maps to control fuel delivery and timing. Enter BK Nitro power chip into your browser and you'll pull it up-

    New Filter Design

    A picture of a filter I built to retain the shape and strength of the K&N filter so you don't end up like Useless Pickles (no offense, Pickles). It's fashioned from sheet metal tin, 1/2"x3/4"x1/2". I included a picture of a frame sans filter so you could see the construction. The stock...

    Different Install, Audiovox

    I'm posting a few pictures showing a different intall of the vacuum canister(s). I used two filters to ensure I have enough capacity and they fit well behind the brake lines. I have the servo under the seat, but don't have room for one large canister due to NOS solenoids. The first shows the...

    Barnett Clutch

    Just wondering if anyone has changed the stock clutch to Barnett plates yet? I did a search, but didn't find anything other than old threads in which people hadn't because Barnett plates weren't available yet. They are now.

    Audiovox Cruise Control

    I finally have an audiovox coming and will be digging into the installation soon. However, reading all the past threads is very confusing because many deal with Gen Is and the ones that deal with Gen IIs refer back to a hundred different pieces of threads. I can follow most of it, but it would...

    FJR Sightings

    Spotted two black cherry FJRs (separately) somewhere up in the NY North country between or around Indian Lake or Speculator. I passed one. Wondering if anyone on this Board was up there today (very hot day!)?

    Hub cracks?

    I discovered a small, two-inch long raised area on the bottom of the hub months back that I thought might be a harmless fault in the metal. However, more have been showing up. It seems they are surface cracks and don't leak any oil. There are more than can be seen in the pictures running...

    Be careful out there

    Within the past few weeks we've had four deaths and one survivor (minus a leg and in serious condition at this point) in just a small geographical area. All four shouldn't have happened if the riders were taking simple precautions-maybe early year rust, or just ignorance, but they made these...

    Hey Ignacio-it could be FJR related!

    Not exactly the same stuff, or the method used-but NOS can be FJR related at times-just check out the bottle above the exhaust can in the avatar :rolleyes:

    Removing air induction system

    Did a search, but couldn't find anything other than the fix for the popping and also the ease of getting to other things with the mess of hoses gone...were there any other reasons for this mod? I don't get any popping on my '08 (I use a Dobeck Techlusion FI module) and I may do the mod to get...

    Does the FJR encourage faster riding?

    I have been corresponding with a gentleman who is trying to decide whether to buy my FJR, or possibly a Bimmer. He currently rides an '03 Concours. In the course of conversation I voiced the opinion that if he likes and is comfortable with the pace he currently keeps on the Concours, he may be...

    Mistaken for BMW?

    Just curious because this has happened to me on at least 3 occasions, all by HD riders. Lat time was yesterday on my way home from Americade. A HD was trying to catch me so I'd slow to 80 or so, let him approach and then bury him. At a small town, he pulled next to me at a light and asked...
