Thank you for the replies. I like the idea moving straps lower on the forks. It had never occurred to me to do it that way. I had considered adding tiedown points on the front frame of the trailer, but decided I was overthinking it. Probably will anyway, I do not like the way the existing...

Mounted a wheel chock on a new to me trailer. Tie downs in front are almost perfectly aligned to hit the lower triple tree without hitting any plastic. Rear tie downs are not bad using the foot peg mount, but on the left side the area behind the peg mount is the drive shaft and not open. The...

My Kawasaki Vulcan used the same oil filter as the Miata. Never noticed it was the same for the FJR. Reminds me of a thing my father in law used to say about fixing a car. "The easiest way to fix this thing would be to lift the radiator cap off and drive a new car underneath it". Usually with...

That is both funny and a great idea. Also reminded me of a thought I had riding around yesterday. If Corbin seats require a break in period to form I wonder if a used seat already formed to someone else will ever truly synch up with my anatomy. Or I am thinking to hard.

Finally got out yesterday. Went for a ride with grandson number two. I could feel more initial pressure on my butt bones (which using minimal Google fu found are really called ischial tuberosity) but after an hour of riding I realized I did not feel worse than with the softer seat I had been...

That fits the growing consensus. The thing not only appears granite in composition, it also weighs like a slab of granite. Rode to town today for an errand. It felt hard when sitting on it, but mildly surprised it was not uncomfortable. Of course that was only a short ride.

Interesting. That would explain the Yamaha name on it. Wonder why the two piece seat is there, I was told by someone (cannot remember from where) that it looked like original equipment. We will never know.

Put the Corbin on a few minutes ago. Sat like well sculpted granite. Dang, this thing is hard. It is only about 55F in my garage at the moment, but I cannot imagine it makes that much difference. I am going to give it a real test riding when possible (rain, cold, blah blah blah) to see how much...

Yes, I just ran out and checked it, there is indeed a hole built into it.

I might put it on the bike just to see if it feels good. Looks like it has seen a lot of weather. If it is better one would assume they would have left it on the bike. Passenger seating is very important to me. Well, Mrs. Nowheelies thinks so anyway.

Two piece, one piece? I bought my bike very end of July (2004) and it came with the original seat. Or I thought anyway. I have had the seat off a couple of times goofing with things and it occurred to me it was a two piece seat and the one I got as a spare is a one piece seat. I assumed it did...
