    Garauld (on this forum)

    Glad I purchased from Gary. Ordered a Gen2/3 luggage rack on Thursday, shipped on Friday. It arrived on Monday in Detroit and it bolted on without any problems with fitment. Plus it looks good!

    Any Hams on Here?

    I've never operated APRS, however, I have tried to let my phone be my poor man's spot to let the wife know where I was. Trouble is, I don't think she looked much and were I was riding I lost data service quite a bit. Looking at the rubber duck the AP510 comes with, I'm sure some other external...

    PR4's

    Hope your tire change went well Intech. Did mine last weekend and I had a first. The front tire went on and balanced out with no weights what so ever. I was very skeptical indeed. I had it out for a "spirited ride" this weekend and felt no vibration at all. My rear tire needed 26 grams. It...

    Can "tallish" people ride an FJR comfortably?

    I was able to move mine just enough with the adjuster nut without having to remove the shift lever from the spline.

    Can "tallish" people ride an FJR comfortably?

    +1 6' 2" in bare feet. Had a custom corbin built up 1" made. Stock bars adjusted all the way back. Comfy ride for me. YMMV

    PR4's

    I have the HF changer. I think the brackets that grip the wheel on mine were shipped installed backwards. Picture speaks thousands of words. https://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/tirechange

    PR4's

    I just received my set of PR4's from Sporttour.com. Arrived in one day since I live close to Cinci. Your second tire change will be dramatically easier than your first! No one forget's their first time...

    knowing what i know about gear Now, I would get this instead:

    My next pair of pants will have some leg vents. The best cheap mod I've done (which isn't really a mod) is buy some suspenders from wallyworld or meijer thrifty acres. For about $12.00 my pants don't constantly drop. One trip, I decided to go on a short walk to stretch my legs at the Grand...

    Seats and seat covers please?

    I don't plan on multiple 1k days. Weekend rides usually go for 200 - 300 Miles. I did a few weekend rides before this weekend to get the break in started on my Corbin. Never felt any butt pain - burn - monkey butt - nothing. I've never owned a Russell Day long, but this is my experience with...

    a good use for your 1/2 pint(200 ml) bottles

    So where do we obtain these magical 200 ml bottles? Would a good single malt 200 ml bottle show that we have an abnormal amount of taste? Would a cordial 200 ml bottle show that we have fru fru taste? Would a bottom shelf 200 ml bottle show that we don't give a crap about taste? inquiring...

    Shifting Clunks (1st and 2nd)

    Every bike I've ever owned did the kerchunk. The general consensus is - bleed the clutch or adjust the cable properly. My new 2013 has a bit of a kerchunk. I'm sure as things wear it may get more pronounced. One bike I had kerchunked quite loudly when cold. Once warmed up, it quieted down...

    is this possible? Wife want me to do this.

    Headlight modulators have their champions and their haters. I am neither, but the one thing that comes to mind is target fixation. You know how you are in a curve and you see some gravel or rocks and it takes your attention from your exit line for a moment? If you are anything like me that...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I have to say that I'm feeling like a bit of a post whore here but I guess that is the point here, right?? Thanks to the posts before me for the tips on the install because I put on my fenda extenda using the abs glue install method. It makes for a smooth look. Maybe tomorrow my post whore...

    CB Antenna Mount Options

    Not sure if you could do a co phased array like on a truckers dual antenna setup. The cable length needs to be a quarter wave long. Between that and a vertical dipole I think you will have problems getting a good match with an antenna that doesn't require a ground plane. I've been pondering...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Took my dremel tool and did the mod to make it easier to remove the battery cover on my Gen III. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

    Gen III Engine Temp / Low Ambient Temps

    Thank you gents, I did do a search looking to see if it had already been discussed, perhaps I used the wrong search terms. Didn't want my first real post to be worthy of NEPRT. Guess I blew that one.

    Gen III Engine Temp / Low Ambient Temps

    Hi All, I've done a bit of searching but have not found if anyone else has encountered this. Since this is my first few hundred miles this last weekend I saw some "interesting" things on the engine temp readouts. The stats Under 200 miles on the clock. Ambient temps were low 40's Engine temps...
