    Any FJRs headed for Deals Gap?

    And we thought you were just "helping those sheep over the fence". :yahoo:

    I've been watching the weather...heated gear will be traveling with me.

    Any FJRs headed for Deals Gap?

    My trip is in a week so I thought I'd get this topic back to the top of the heap. Anybody, anybody, Bueller?

    Any FJRs headed for Deals Gap?

    Cool, thanks for the head's up. We will be riding down from Virginia on Wednesday 10/13...all 500 miles of it. Staying at the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort (and spa?...NOT). We'll be leaving Saturday probably noonish to take a slower trip back to get home on Sunday before noon. Soooooooo...

    Grounding Harness

    Just finished installing. This is a top-notch product...I was really impressed with the quality of the workmanship. While I saw no evidence of any overheating within the 8 grounding connections, I feel better knowing I don't really need to worry about it anymore. Now if my connectors would...

    keep an eye on your brake and clutch fluid

    I felt absolutely ZERO difference in the performance of the clutch after changing the fluid and I have about 100 miles already. It just felt good inside (ME) to do it. I can't help it...I love my mechanical things! I also surmised the same thing as to why the clutch fluid looked so much worse...

    keep an eye on your brake and clutch fluid

    I don't think you would notice anything at all until you had cylinder failure. The clutch will either operate or not. The cleanliness of the fluid probably won't make any difference until you have so much compressible gook in there that the clutch fails to operate at all. It would probably...

    keep an eye on your brake and clutch fluid

    Scotty, that is an unusual method but hey, whatever works.

    That feared time has come

    Yup, dress for the crash, not for the ride! Wishing your wife a speedy recovery.

    keep an eye on your brake and clutch fluid

    Heh, I used my mityvac as well. Negates asking one of the kids or wife to help and avoids the "loosen, down, tighten, up, loosen, down, tighten, up, loosen..." And no, that is not a new sex move. (It's actually an OLD sex move)

    keep an eye on your brake and clutch fluid

    Just flushed all the fluids (brake and clutch) yesterday. I noticed the same thing about the clutch fluid...it was nasty. This is on a '09 with 10,400 miles. Shop mechanic recommended I take a look at the fluid and see if it needed changing even though they usually recommend a 2 year...

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    Yeah, I realized after I sent in the check that I probably should have tried the dealer match route. I like to spread my business around anyway.

    Pilot Road 2 Rear 180/55ZR-17 B FJR Specific

    Thanks for clearing up the "B" mystery...sort of. I am getting ready to buy a new tire for the rear (already have the PR2 on the front) to replace the OEM Bridgestone. I just cleared 10,000 miles so the 021 rear has not been a bad tire. The front was atrocious and died at just over 5,000 with...

    Center stand

    Gotta admit those damn armored pants do make our asses look fat(ter). One guy I met took the hip armor out so he wouldn't look so fat. I'm like, um, why bother with the pants at all then. What good are they without the armor. It's not a fashion show for gripes sake.

    Center stand

    Great video but I surely hope my riding pants don't make my ass look that fat! :D

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    Wanted everybody to know I just sent in my $389 for 4 years of Y.E.S. coverage. This thread has made the cost of this forum totally worth it!

    Speed

    Hmm, I wonder how you would explain Harleys then... C'mon, you HAVE to admit I have a point there...no? :rolleyes:

    Speed

    I suppose you are old enough to make your own choices. I prefer to live...and stay out of jail. Yeah, I'm a sissy. Somewhere south of 100 mph seems reasonable.

    Speed

    Going these kinds of speeds on public roads is just plain stupid. I have installed a speedo healer to correct the "optimistic" speedometer. I have found that -5.1% gives me exact alignment with my gps. You can do your own math...or maybe you can't. I suppose if you're stupid enough to go...
