    Lowering Kit

    Used Soupy's on a previous Honda ST1300 and on an earlier FJR. Worked well for me. 5'8 and a 30" inseam. Able to flat foot the bike now and the only issue with Soupy's was the center stand was nearly impossible to use without putting the rear tire on a 2x4 so I could get the leverage to move it...

    Considering returning to FJR

    I did not know the FJR bags would fit. Interesting.

    Considering returning to FJR

    Probably posted this elsewhere but I wanted a lighter sport touring bike couple of years ago and traded my 2017 FJR for the first version of the 900GT. Three cylinders, chain drive, manually adjusted shield, definitely lighter but with some other deficiencies I discovered after some longer rides...

    Any local FJR-geniuses (DFW area) that might help with these damn headlights?!

    Well, as they say in science (and other stuff too) the simplest answer is sometimes the right one. Or maybe that was Occam's razor. After all this time, having checked voltages, deinstalled my Admore taillight, charging my battery and still not finding the resolution to my darkened headlights, I...

    Valve check/Valve adjustment in Dallas-Ft. Worth

    Agree we need to do another ride to meet for breakfast again! Maybe meet down in Granbury on the square? Keith Quigley 2019 FJR (My 2nd one, after previous ST1300s and ST1100s)

    Thanks, but where is the alternative fuse block. Don't recall seeing one.

    Any local FJR-geniuses (DFW area) that might help with these damn headlights?!

    I am still day driving only! But I understand it was too hot in my garage too. Much cooler now though! One of these days, I am going to have to disconnect my Admore light bar, which was the last thing I did. Likely the culprit but unsure how to reconnect it without dropping voltage, if that is...

    Hello from Colorado

    Ah yes, the venerable ST. Have had 4 of them over the years, first an ST1100 without ABS and then relaced that for one with ABS. Later did the same mistake in buying an early ST1300 w/o ABS. Later changed that as well. Loved those bikes. I actually organized a fall long distance ride for ST...

    The ONE Picture Ride Report

    We sometimes take the FJR and sometimes take the smaller Yamaha with us on the road, on a Kendon trailer.

    Anyone in Upstate NY area? ...with an aftermarket seat?

    I have had both Laam and Corbin seats, as well as the stock ones from Honda and Yamaha. Tried sitting on a Russell and could not stand it. But, 'de gustibus non est disputandum' as they used to say a few thousand years ago. I preferred the Corbin on my ST1300 but also liked a Laam that I had...

    Tracer 9 GT as FJR Replacement?

    At the risk of repeating myself, which my wife says is not uncommon, I bought an early 900GT, kept it one year, rode it just enough to get past the break in, changed the oil and sold it. Did not care for several things, though I did like the weight compared to an FJR. Lack of coverage, even with...

    FJR Milestones - Places you've been

    Agreed, you have to ride really fast and not stop at traffic lights when it is that hot here in north Texas. And even then, it is pretty uncomfortable.

    On the way to Colorado, near Pagosa Springs.

    Both headlights, at the same time?!

    Not yet my friend. We just returned from a 10 day visit to CO and NM in the RV. Once it cools off to something under 100 degrees, will get back to troubleshooting.

    Both headlights, at the same time?!

    I did not know that and I too have the Addmore tail light. I can unplug it to see if it does anything but seems odd they tail light could pull voltage from the headlights. We shall see.
