Thanks Skooter, I have been thinking about going to the Darkside and should probably order a Raptor. Hopefully see you in September.

Lol! If he didn't post the location. The Blue Meanies were not looking for him on the day in question.

Did I miss the price?

Welcome to the FJR community. Without these forums my 2004 would not be running. I am surprised no one has mentioned the cam chain tensioner. It is in your best interest to read up on these. My 04 had the original cam chain tensioner and after I replaced it my bike was much quieter.

You guys are awesome! My bike came with newer RaceTech springs .95 kg. Fork oil has been coming out of the top of the forks near the adjusters. I found this (see attachment) on the RaceTech site. After discovering what appeared to be a tire label inside my worn rear tire along with the...

That will give me more reason to keep it rolling and away from the masses. Maybe an auxiliary fuel tank to reduce the times I must completely stop. I will keep my eye out for some platform boots. This could get dicey on an uneven surface with a stop. I will adapt and find a way to make it work...

Thank you so much! This is going to make my long journeys more enjoyable. I will check back. Let me know how much to send to who using which platform . Do you Zelle ? I could send from my bank account to another account. I think it requires both parties being in each other's contacts/ phone...

It looks like Ibam Awesome, it looks like I am getting a RDL for Christmas. If I can’t reach the ground I will get some platform boots or only stop at gas stations with islands to put my left foot on. I bought my 04 in August and have put 7k miles on it. With the RDL I might be permanently on...

My bicycle gel pad strapped to my Gen 1 seat looks like its days are numbered and will be retired. Where are these located,I am in Seattle. I am 5’4” if it matters. The first one looks super comfy and maybe requires a bit more kick to get one’s leg over the bolsters. If shipping is not crazy out...

Thank you for the review and the nice price on EBay. For $30ish I will pick one up.It will be nice to give the right hand a break. I rode to Douglas WY last month, I either tried or did give the right a break with the crossover and held the throttle open with the left. I strapped a bicycle gel...

Welcome from Seattle. FJR's are amazing bikes and this forum and its people are priceless!

That was a blast being part of the Why Knot. I made it back to New Seattle Monday afternoon after camping near Goldendale. It was a pleasure to meet so many kind and giving folks. The information and advice I received could not have been found elsewhere. I truly appreciate you guys having me at...

I am definitely NOT a person to rely on for FJR facts, yet (if ever). If what I reread more than a half dozen times is truly what my brain is deciphering than someone would have already pointed this out and not given a ‘Dead On’ rating. I am not trying to be the grammar police or start an...

Heck yes I am in for a $32 Prime Rib dinner! My bike sounds much better with the new green dot cam chain tensioner. Now to get the Tupperware back on!

I am more than okay with sharing a room; I can sleep just about darn near anywhere. That is pretty daring and kind of you to offer this. I have tried to sleep in a small place with three heavy snoring individuals; I couldn't believe they didn't wake each other up. It sounds like I may not need...
