High 50's today, only had enough time to get the FJR warmed up and changed the oil. I did change the settings on the forks and rear shock from the factory settings to the suggested starting point on the forum. Only 4 miles back to storage, can't wait to try out the new settings soon!

Rode 300 miles in the rain, then gave her a bath.
Sunny and high temp reached 50 yesterday. Couldn't pass up the opportunity for one last ride in 2014 on my new auburn mistress. Burned up the whole tank of Stabil treated fuel (pew!) and filled her back up before I tucked her back into the garage.
Received the new Gen 3 Anti-Vibe / FZ1 (prototype) Aux light brackets from WynPro just before Xmas, and shot them with some rattle can black yesterday, so will be working at fitting them up over the next day or two. Stay tuned!

Nice Bikes!FedEx guy dropped off my Givi E55 and I spent the entire evening installing the Admore lights and the getting the whole thing set up.
Congrats, Mark!! Good looking '07.
First order of business is to get rid of that monstrosity of a rear trunk, and also do a close inspection of the rear sub-frame for cracks. Those pelican style cases weigh a ton, even when they are empty. The FJR's rear sub-frame will not hold up for long with that much weight perched up on the stock luggage rack. There are lots of better choices out there if you want a top box.

Good choice in tie-downs. I recently purchased similar handlebar tie-downs myself. Much better than the canyon dancers.
Oh, had no idea that canyon dancers had a version before the cup.
I recently bought a pair of these. Much better than canyon dancers with the cup IMO.

Thanks Fred,
We'll do. Where are the cracks usually seen? Near the frame connection bolts? I think I read on here somewhere that somebody redesigned a better subframe. I'll have to break out the search engine when I have more time. The pelican box is actually smaller than it looks. I think the shot from below, and wide angle lens made it look like a monster. You couldn't put a helmet in it.
I have a Coocase S-50 that I was using on my FZ1, but am hesitant to mount it, until I look into the subframe thing. You could pick the entire FZ1 up with the subframe on it.

Your tie down is like my Canyon Dancer as well, the Original model.
There is more than one model and size of Canyon Dancer.
The Canyon Dancer II is the one with the "CUPs"

I've found the original to be indispensable for tying down fully faired, and most other, bikes.
As to what I did to the Gray Ghost today, I looked longingly at her as I went outside into the teeth of the blizzard (7deg F, 30 mph wind, and snow) to clear the front steps and the drift in the driveway. April can't get here soon enough!

We'll, after 29k miles on the OEM battery, replaced with a Shorai lithium ion type yesterday. Francisco started right up, just like he's supposed to. Then took him out for a brisk 50 degree spin to make sure all worked OK (a bit of a poke at you cold-weather folks,,,).
These batteries are light, small, and expensive,,,,,
