Also, Bear Tooth Pass out of Red Lodge is HIGH at 10,900 ft. You may need a contingency plan if its cold or storming up there.

I have been in MT in mid Sept and weather turned cold on the ride. Yellowstone was freezing - booked it out of there and headed to souther Idaho. Very nice down there at the time. Anyway, I like to use the NWS Climate Prediction Center to see what things look like in the couple weeks before a...

Can somebody tell me if my generation of seat works on the newer generation FJRs? I'm sure, I'll get this question. Grazi

Shock has sold. Cheers Mates. I am putting up for sale my slightly used Ohlins YA707 rear shock. I bought it new in 2014. It has approximately 8K miles on it. I had it professionally dialed in by GP Suspension for my weight and riding style. In my mind, this is the BEST addition to the bike and...

The seat has sold. I am selling my Rich's custom seat from my 2008. The seat was built in 2011 in a drive-in, custom seat appointment at Rich's. https://www.richscustomseats.com I have both the front and back seat. My bike is a 2008. These advance the form and fit of the FJR tremendously. I...

Believe it or not, I did consider the latest iteration of our beloved FJR. I think it is a great bike and substantially advanced over my 2008. However, I am looking for something new in terms of how I ride. This is what happens when you have ridden a given bike, or class of bike for the last...

This happened to me last summer. True bummer. Scratch damage was left side bag, engine case, mirror and my PIAA aux light. Not that big of deal. But, I drove it home and put in the garage after a more thorough once over only to find a couple months later that my left mirror had bent upward and...

Awesome. I love riding in Oregon's NE section. But, yes the speed limits in the past were shall we say... bull pucky.

Hmmm, I think I got this email from Klim too... Blade jackets on sale. I personally don't have one. But, this link may help. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/klim-blade-jacket There also is a video review. Cheers!

By a crazy chain of events, I inherited a factory cover that was hardly used by the past individual. Its a beaut. And have been looking for a new cover in the last few months. Anyway, placed it on the bike and there is this zipper on the tail end of the cover. But, there is no zipper slider for...
