Came back last week from a road trip from our home in New York City to Arizona with my wife on the FJR (well, the actual ending point was Las Vegas, but that wasn't really part of the trip). Anyway, following is a summary of the days, if you're interested. A detailed trip report would be way...

Thanks all, Right now it seems Forward Air will be able to take the bike at LAS on the day I fly out. If that works out as planned then I'll be fine. If any of you ever get stuck in New York City or need anything, please feel free to call or email me (my number is (646) 251-9150 and email is...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try to make some calls tomorrow (Monday) morning and see what the shippers can do for me. We're still on the road so I don't have internet access every day but I'll keep the board posted. Thanks again, Bennie

Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of a trip with my wife on the FJR from NYC to Arizona (Grand Canyon). My original plan was to finish in Las Vegas and leave the bike with family I have there to be shipped back home. However, I just found out that my relatives are going to be out of town for three...

Just a thought - I remeber reading somewhere, I think it was on the old fjrowners board, someone had the same problem and tracked it back to the fork brace. He finally got rid of it after a number of reiterations of loosening and retightening the front axel bolt and then reinstalling the fork...

I'd love to take you up on that offer. I'm in NYC with a set of Wilbers springs and shock waiting to be installed. I'll also bring your choice of lunch/beverage :drinks: Let me know if this works for you. It would be great for me. Bennie

Happens regularly on my '04, both with the original OEM battery and the replacement (Westco) I got last year. Maybe a bit less when the battery is new, but it started happening again pretty quick. I asked about it in one of the forums and got a thorough explanation regarding bubles in the acid...

Guess I spoke to soon. :angry2: Just got off the phone with Wilbers and the entire group buy has been shipped. The guy there couldn't find my name on the list!!! Said he would contact Klaus and get back to me tomorrow. I told him I spoke to Klaus twice (when I ordered and about three weeks...

Ordered mine aroung 1/17. Still no shipping notification. I did call Klaus a couple of weeks ago and he said he remembered me, mine was in, and they're working on shipping them out. I also got charged $100 when I ordered, so I'm not worried. Bennie

Just put in my order with Klaus. He seemed slightly overwhelmed with all the orders coming in :clap: Just thought I'd add my thanks to WC :boss: Bennie

Hey Randy, I've never used that parking lot next to the Port Authority. In general, most parking facilities in the city are for cars only - because they have attendants park the cars and move them around. Unless you feel very uncomfortable riding in the city, and that's a personal call, you...

Hey guys, Living in NYC and owning an FJR (I know you guys are sure I'm crazy), here's my advice - The Wolman Rink is near the South Eastern corner of Central Park. You can't get in the park with bike anyway, so you'll have to look for parking outside. Generally speaking, you can park on the...
