I like the Bag liners but only use them for the big trips. I think the hard bags only leak when they are overstuffed and are not sealed all the way. Otherwise, never had a problem with leaking. They dont even leak when I wash the bike and spray them with the hose.

Good Ideas. I would also add some "Monkey Butt Powder" as well as spare ear plugs. Comfort is Key also. https://www.antimonkeybutt.com/ Great idea about the siphon for a bike to bike gas transfer. I have not thought about that before. I have also been stuck with a closed VISA in Blythe...

Good Job Duff! I will be starting mine 2am on Thursday 24th. Should be 1000miles exactly, Norco, CA to Golden, CO. If all goes well I may be there some time around 4:30pm or so.

Usually, the way this works is they post sign up lists with departure times for each ride on the board at headquarters/Marriot. In the past, they had us break up into groups of 7 bikes at a time with departures every 10 minutes for safety sake. Some groups were listed as the fast riders and...

So did you make it Duff? How was the route?

Good Idea! Save me some too.

I counted at least 3 FJR's following the Pelliton of the Tour. All were riding 2 up with the Camera man on the back. What a great way to see France. Did anyone else see them?

I've been thinking about this lately and would like to hear what good ideas some of the FJR Bros have come up with for the big trips. (Other then a AAA card and Cell phone) 1. Flat tire repair kit 2. Allen wrench assortment 3. adjustable crescet wrench 4. Vise grips 5. Wind...

I just got a major tune-up and was caught off guard when they asked me about Spark Plugs. I think that most plugs are so good these days that only minimal differences separate them. However, the iridium plugs may indeed be better. For a few dollars more, I should have told the shop to put...

I have had the V-Stream for about 12,000miles and it works great. Much easier in my ears too.

Put me down for 2 please!

Good post, Thanks!

Try checking in Bin of facts for the Gen II. Here is some info that may help you out. Electrical ECU: Mitsubishi FUA0010 Ignition Coil: Denso JO383 AC Magneto: Denso LNX07, 14.0 Volts, 590 Watts at 5000 r/min (prior years 490 watts) From Iggy: Watts = Volts x Amps. So we know power in...

Mr. Toad, The first person that responded to you didnt see that you mentioned "and other things", in addition to a good fuse block connection that he explained correctly. I see that you have a 2004 FJR which needs more Wattage compared to the newer '06's and up. You may want to check this out...

Rain or shine it will be a great trip. Cant wait to see all the FJR Gadgets that everyone has on the bikes.

That was an excellent ride! The twisties were indeed tight but the the camber and radius were banked like a race track. This is a great road to practice getting smoothe on. This was my first ride with my new PR2's and I would say they were great. Great tire for increasing confidence. The...

OK then, this is going to be good! 100,000ft in one day sounds like a great ride. Glad I dont get nose bleeds easily :lol:

Glad that you are OK and willing to get back in the saddle.

I will take 42 then! Lucky number you know. :rolleyes:

Good turnout then!
