Very well put Shawn... :)

:yahoo: Thank you for your keen insight there Einstein. Oil changes are not what I was going after when I signed up for the Pit Pass. I was thinking more along the lines of the valve adjustments and other maintenance tasks that involve dismantling major components which I'd rather leave to a...

I also opted in for the 4-year Pit Pass when I bought my '08 FJR back in March. I also had a 3-Year Pit Pass on the '05 FJR that I had. The dealer threw that in as part of the deal at the time. They supposedly had priority service for Pit Pass customers but getting a service appt was still a...

A 'MOTley'GATT at that.

ATGATT for me too. Fieldsheer textile jacket, helmet, boots and gloves. When I ride, I never leave home without 'em.

Can someone please explain to me how these throttle issues discussed here manifest themselves? I had an '05 and recently moved up to an '08 and I've never experienced any sort of abruptness or fade in throttle response on either bike. I did find the throttle spring rather tight on the '05 but...

The V-Rod is a nice looking bike. Not sure if this is indicative of Harleys or an isolated issue but, about 8 mos ago I got together with a bunch of people from work on a Saturday to ride up into the local mountains. I was right behind a woman riding a new V-Rod. After 3 hours or so of...

I also own an '08 FJR. Traded up from an '05. I live near Charlotte, NC and the daytime temps around here have been hovering near 100 deg for over a week. Trust me when I tell you, there is a huge difference in the amount of crotch and leg cooking that goes on with the '08 as compared to the...

Check out the editorials section of the site. "There's not a serious motorcyclist in all creation who hasn't wished at one time or another that they had something like the Second Face On protective mask to strap on." I guess you might find someone in France who might wear this lame lookin'...

+1 on The Tank Slapper. I installed the 3 tank pieces. You just need to take your time. I did have to work the center piece a bit and stretch it to get it just right and I also used a rubber squeegee as opposed to plastic as it seemed to work better on the curves. Other than that, I'm very...

Let me put it this way - I was riding to work one morning recently on a fairly busy thoroughfare we call Indepedence Blvd. Speed limit is 45 mph. I'm cruising along at around 50-55 keeping up with the flow of traffic which is typical for this road at 7:15 am. I'm a little more than a car...

The crappy roads in NC and refusual by politicians to spend money to fix them probably contributes to the mirror problem as well :angry2:

See that's what I love so much about this forum - so many interesting points of view. Let's see where do I start? I'm not a whining X-Gen 1 owner, I've already tried bouncing my head at the same freq and almost wrecked, gave up drinking and driving after spending a night in the San Diego jail...

Hey guys, I recently traded in my '05 FJR for an '08 just 'cause I was ready for an upgrade. Overall love the changes from '05, but one thing I'm finding a bit annoying are the blurry images in both mirrors at high speed obviously caused by vibration. There was a bit of this with the '05 but...

My Credit Union (Navy Federal): 5% APR for 36 months and bike is paid off at the end of the term.

I agree with Fred W - as the only role model in my life (my Dad) used to say when I was a kid: "Honesty is the best policy". Do the right thing.

I used a blow dryer to remove mine. It did take a while to heat the label enough to melt the glue but eventually it came right off. Used WD-40 to get rid of glue residue.

Cool...you can also contact me @ [email protected] Andy

If you're from the Charlotte, NC area then I'm sure you know who Keith Larson is or have at least heard of him. If not, he's a DJ on WBT (1110 AM) 9AM - 12PM Mon thru Fri. Twice a year he hosts a "Ride for the Kids" in which bikers from around the area gather and go on a 4 hour controlled ride...
