After working fairly hard trying to make my '05 FJR more 'Wing-like for the long-distance riding I've been trying for the past 2 years, and losing a few months of prep time for this year's running of the Butt-Lite, the wife agreed that moving up to a 'Wing was just the thing (groan). Anyway...

"What's your name?", asked the teacher. "Mohammad," he replied. "You're in Ireland now," replied the teacher, "So from now on you will be known as Mike. Mohammad returned home after school. "How was your day, Mohammad?", his mother asked. "My name is not Mohammad. I'm in Ireland and now my...

... I don't have any helmets your size!

Trying to think of an answer to BobbyBlue's post about our Most Loved Farkle or Accessory, but it felt like picking a favorite part on the bike (headlight, forks, tail light?) How can I pick a favorite among: Helibar risers (my back's favorite) RDL (my butt's favorite) Apollo heated grips (my...

Looking at Tobie's great photos from the IBR, and kept looking at pic from his other albums. This one caught my attention (cropped, low-res pic, I don't want to step on Tobie's rights): Original: https://tobie.smugmug.com/Street-Scenes/Motorcycles/Gerlachfest-2011/i-mbQkftd/A What's up...

I know all eyes are focused on the IBR, but hopefully some Gen 1 owners are watching these other threads. Recently high-sided my '05, and am replacing the broken bits. Thanks to our admin, that list is much smaller. Biggest item is the Front Stay, the square tube frame that the cowling is...

Inspired by Doug Shonley's Farklebar 2.0, I'm experimenting with a version that has threaded through-holes top to bottom and front to back. A work in progress, to be sure, probably overkill (3/4 x 1" stock with 3/8"-16 threaded RAM ball mounts. Pics on-bike soon.

Long before I joined this forum, I'd considered naming a ride "Trillian." After buying some parted out pieces of Ignacio's '05 he called Zaphod, I could not resist making the connection legal and binding. Anyone who recognizes Ignacio's pattern may appreciate the new name tag Trillian's been...

Prepping myself and the ride for the Void 9 rally next week. The FJR is starting to look more like Jackie Chan's cars from the Cannonball Run movies!

I need to shop for riding pants (no good shopping in the NYC/CT metro area), and Revzilla's closed Sunday/Monday, making logistics for my upcoming trip tough. I can't go the internet/mail order route with the schedule I have, and must test fit anything I can find. Seeking mid-range (not cheap...

Thought I'd share this find; a 5-Way SAE Adapter Connector by NOCO https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003L643KS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER#productDetails Inexpensive way to distribute power to farkles, heated clothing or other accessories. If you're not one to fuse...

Has anyone used a Tourmaster Elite Tail Bag? Saw this listing on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/131268435906) and wondering if it's worth it. Opinions? P.S.: Asking specifically about this model, not tail bags in general. Thanks

Moving info from from this thread (details of Group Buy were posted to FaceBook) Here is the info for the Gen1 Canyon Cage Group Buy that's happening now.... It’s time for another Group Buy here at MC Enterprises! This Group Buy will be for the Canyon Cages and/or Saddle Bag Guards for the...

Does anyone in the lower Hudson Valley NY area have the Hard Miles DVD's available for loan? I'd like an idea of what I'm in for before I wind up purchasing my own copies as "educational materials" Thank you, Peter

I've never found SAE (two-pin) connectors that I can crimp or solder on to pigtails (like those on GPS mounts, please share links if you have). The next best thing is having extra wires and adapters with these molded connectors already attached that can be cut and spliced, with some extra...

Google alerts comes through! While the bigger stores are weeks away from fulfilling backlog, this post from JC Motors hit today. My buddy and I each ordered a dual set, and will have them in hand next week! Just in time for my ride to Boston. Ride report to follow in a week or two.

Just received an e-mail from Teri over at MC Enterprises re: Canyon Cage for Gen1 Please, is there any one in the LA-Santa Barbara area that will bring their Gen1 FJR to them to be a fitting dummy? https://www.mcenterprisesusa.com/contact.html MC ENTERPRISES 835 Flynn Road Camarillo...

Saw this post over on FJRiders.com (sorry guys, I'm not exclusive) https://www.fjriders.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1496&sid=47042e99e1020ddcb0dd34e411db73b3 and found eBay listing for it, thought I'd share. Only $9.99 + 6.99 shipping (unless you live in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Local pickup - FREE!)

Getting ready to order a Russell Day-Long solo, would like a Corbin Smuggler trunk before sending them photos. Ideally in '05 Galaxy Blue, but would consider other colors If price was right. Thanks for looking, Peter
