The ZsDad, Yeah I had a love/hate relationship with the GS1000E. I couldn't keep stators in it. Had one go out on me in Kanab, Utah in 1979 on a trip from NoDak to the Grand Canyon. But, when it was running it was the best until the FJR. I had the GS for 10 years, though after 4 it became my 2nd...

I’m 65 and ride a ’04 FJR. I have been riding since I was 14 and all of my lifelong riding buddies have either quit riding or switched to HD or Victory. These last people, the Switchers, back in the day all rode the equivalent of my ride, a 1978 Suzuki GS1000E. Now the Switchers want me to...

Fred, Thanks for the input. These things are mostly beyond my capability to perform, but they give me proper insight as to what may be causing the issue. Bob

Thanks for your insight. After I posted I went for a 60 mile freeway test drive. I began to realize that it is probably not a DS or any kind of tire issue as it is totally a RPM related issue. I assume it happens in all gears because I get it at 4500 rpm in 4th gear as well as 5Th. I also...

I seemed to have developed a low end vibration on my ’04 FJR with 43K miles on it. When I say “low end” I mean I feel it in the lower part of the bike, mostly in the foot pegs and in the saddle, with no effect on the handlebars. It happens at around 4500 rpm and only on the way up (acceleration)...

Thanks Wingshot. I will look into it.

Yeah, I guess I’m what they call a “lurker”. I’ve been on the board quite a bit, but I don’t post much. This post was almost an act of desperation as I have been unable to roust up a source for a tuning block. You are right; I need to update my profile.

Oops! I hit the Add Reply too soon. Anyway... thanks for the info. I will PM Ftompa.

I am looking to buy a Rifle Windshield Tuning Block for a Gen I (2004). These things seem to be really scarce. If anyone has one for sale, knows where I can get one (Rifle has had them on backorder forever) or if you know how to make an equivalent I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

You had me interested until you said "no storage". I have thought of using the rear seat pan as a base and having a local fiberglass fabricating outfit see what they can come up with. Haven't gotten around to it though.

That’s decent! I’ll be watching for it… thanks.

I'm not interested in adding a trunk to my 04 fjr, but a seat cowl that would replace the passenger seat would interest me. Anyone know of any company that makes one for the fjr1300?
