    2024 FJR1300 Announced - No Changes

    At least the side panels color match. Never liked the silver side panels on any FJR except on a silver bike.

    2022 FJR Powder Coat

    The only work I did was to sand off all the letters and markings on the wheels and then strip them down to bare wheels. All bearings and seals have to be removed for the powder coat. Rear wheel has a left handed thread so just be aware when removing rear wheel bearings. Best I remember cost...

    2022 FJR Powder Coat

    I have a 2014 and had my wheels powder coated silver then a clear on top of that. Would highly recommend the clear on top, makes the silver flake really pop. Just can't do black wheels. I also took the time to sand off all the letters and markings off the wheels before powder coat and they...

    FJR's don't like dirt - let alone floods and ...

    In the meantime MAKE SURE AUTOPLAY IS OFF then enjoy this A lot of Stevie Ray Vaughn on that album. Oreo Cookie Blues is the first song I learned to play and sing at the same time.

    Trying to select an FJR Model

    Rolliefree if you are a wrench you will find any model FJR probably the easiest bike to maintain ever. Air and oil filter changes are a snap. The battery is in a unique location but considering you only change it every 6 to 8 years it's no big deal. Wheels come off like motorcycle wheels...

    Getting back into bikes

    I have owned both the bikes you mention. The FJR is now in the stable. ST is a great bike but long abandoned by Honda. It does have a great forum support to keep them running. The two things I did not like about the ST is it put mondo heat on the left leg. ST has a secondary master cylinder...

    HELP! - Retired, will the FJR1300 fit in the garage?

    Just another reason to not be in a HOA.

    2006 For Consideraton

    Proper thing to do is take the wife and go sit on the bike and see if it fits or not.  I ride solo so significant other's concerns I could care less about.   It's not a Goldwing if that is the position you are looking for.

    Concours or FJR

    All I want to do is pass the Motorbarge in a 1/4 mile anymore.  FJR does that well. I still think the Kaw is ugly.

    New (to me) 2014 FJR

    Congratulations on your 14 model.  You just purchased the fastest of all the FJR's.  You will enjoy the cruise (all the way from CO back home) over the Connie not having one.  I think you will find the maintenance on the FJR to be about as easy as anything you have ever owned.  Oil changes are...

    Concours or FJR

    Never considered the Kaw.  Too damn ugly.

    Time to say goodbye

    I went with the manual clutch on my Wing.  Been shifting motorcycle gears all my life and not going to change now.  I can see my getting used to no shifting and then mounting on the FJR and pulling up to an intersection, no shifty, and picking an FJR up in the middle of the road.  I rode an FJR...

    Time to say goodbye

    I have seen their website but haven't used them yet.  I have installed fog lights and Pathfinder cowl lights with the Pathfinder harness.  Actually used the Pathfinder harness to run the Goldstrike panel lights in the rear.  The plugs aren't compatible but chasing down the wires to use isn't...

    Time to say goodbye

    Check out Goldstrike for rear trunk lights without needing a luggage rack.  The Honda luggage rack, light, and harness needed to hook it up is a b--ch to install.  Never knew a trunk had to come in so many pieces that has to be disassembled to mount a rack.   +1 on GL1800 riders.  You will find...

    Time to say goodbye

    This is how I lit up the rear of my Wing.  Skene P3 runs everything.  Canbus unaffected.  Picture is running/taillights only.  When you hit the brake everything flashes and goes bright like a brake light.  And all has the Skene flicker when normal running. Not sure it will be noticed by someone...
