    Gen 3 FJR compatible fork lift system

    YES, PitBull does make a front pin that is compatible for the Gen III FJR (assuming it has a hole in the bottom of the lower triple). It's pin #12 and works with their triple clamp/headlift stands. https://www.pit-bull.com/pin-12-front-f0001-012? Have one for my bike and works flawlessly...

    Manual Cruise-Control Needed 06 FJR

    I have a Kaoko throttle lock on my '06 and works as a lock like i want it to.  Works very well, barely notice its there and good fitment.  It's for sale too as I have my '06 for sale too.... dont need a throttle lock on my '16 with cruise.

    Thinking of buying a Fluke automotive ScopeMeter... Thoughts, Ideas?

    Seems ALOT excessive to me.  I've been an aircraft electrician for over 20 years and used an o-scope just a handful of times (though MUCH better than the one you've listed)  Can't think in my head for a use for that type on a bike.  A good meter (Fluke's are nice) with basic functions is more...

    Select a shock for me, please

    there's a penske shock on ebay right now for $333 and it looks OK.  I have the double adjustable one on my FJR and had one just like the ebay one on my FZ1. Great shocks, and will probably keep buying those from here on out.  I get mine refreshed by the guys at Traxxion and they seem to be...

    Throttle tube from an FZ1? yep, works great!

    The 2006-current R6 has a 1/6th turn ratio and one of the shortest idle to WOT of most bikes and a popular mod for FZ owners. I believe the cam on the R6 is about 42 mm where the FJR is about 37mm. Like I said though, the FZ or R6 throttle tube is 1/2" shorter than the FJR so some ingenuity is...

    Throttle tube from an FZ1? yep, works great!

    As most guys with an '06 FJR I didn't like the strange throttle feel. It appears that the throttle cam is a bit oval and gives a strange feedback to the rider. Switched the throttle tube from my FZ1 over to an R6 tube as its a 1/6th turn to WOT, so had the FZ1 tube laying around. Installed it...

    What did your FJR get for Christmas?

    New air and a couple oil filters. Jake Wilson offered free shipping so couldn't pass that up. I bought 20 Rossi/Lorenzo minichamps bikes, so I've spent quite a bit on bike stuff.
