It's hard to truly comprehend the history behind these old war birds and the things the crews experienced in them.

And John Bradford never showed his face in public again, lol.

What I meant was do we need to bring something to share, or toss on the grill, some cash to cover expenses or something?

And lunch?

Okay, dumb question but what does said coupler do? Looks like more than just a jumper.

So being a new attendee, what's the plan for lunch? What time do things generally get underway in the morning? Am I going to miss half the fun if I show up about 10? I'm not doing valves btw.

It is possible to reassemble the forks with an impact gun, BUT you have to know how to modulate the impact gun!!!! That's how I've always disassembled and reassembled forks on all my motorcycles. I made the tool for the FJR last night only because I was bored and had the time so I'll use it...

I pulled my forks apart to change the springs on my 2008 and noticed that my lower bushings are shot, again. I have just under 25000 miles and I previously changed them at about 13500. Doing some reading it seems the Gen 1 bikes last a heck of a lot longer than the Gen 2. Has anyone tried to...

Seems I didn't research enough when I was trying to look up prices.... price drop to $25.

Sold

I have a set of vstrom hand guards that someone can have for the price of shipping. The right one has the loop around the brake pivot broken, but could be repaired if someone was so inclined. PM me your phone number and I can text you pictures. I got them on the thread here but I'm not going...

Oh crap, I was thinking this was this coming weekend, but this weekend is the 21st. Whew.

Has the weather affected plans at this point?

I got my first street flat in the rear of the FJR out in Montana on the way to NAFO in 2016. I plugged it with a self vulcanizing sticky string and pumped it up with the full size bicycle pump I threw in the trailer. I made my own insertion tools. I used steel rod and formed a loop on the...

Mike, what time do you kick things off/wrap things up? I need to check valves and that just may be an excuse to make the ride down. Anyone know the shim diameter? I have a hot cams kit I had for my old WR400F, but don't know if they're the right diameter. I'll send you a PM for your address.

I got all excited about the seats and then read the words Gen 1. Drat. Good luck with sale.

Just the two kids, Andy, but yes that is a true statement on the timing. How does leather hold up for you guys that commute and let the bike sit in the parking lot all day? Usually in the summer I commute 16 miles and the bike sits in the sun all day and bakes, or gets soaked in the rain.

We're planning to come out to EOM this year, but we'll have to find some place we can stash the kids for a week (first option aka grandparents fell through already). Looking forward to the trip!

I currently have a Lamm seat in vinyl and haven't really had any problems I could directly relate to the material. Going out to NAFO in 16 my but would get sore on really hot days but I think that had more to do with the cotton against the skin soaked in but sweat than vinyl on the outside of...

Fred, Can you explain the difference you have experienced in the leather vs vinyl in a little more depth, please?
