I've never ridden a bike with a heated seat, but it seems like a lot of coin that could be spent on something more effective like a heated jacket liner or something.

I'm curious to see how these hold up. I've seen write ups on a few new tires hitting the market this year. It amazes me just how much excessive weight and wind load/throttle affect tire wear vs "normal" riding conditions. I'm used to getting about 10K out of a set of tires but going out to...

I just picked up an extra stock seat and am considering sending it in to Russell to make a Day Long out if it. Looking at their site they have the five different materials to pick from. I think I've typically seen vinyl and leather chosen, but I'm wondering what people's experiences have been...

PM sent.

I don't remember for sure. Last time I did the FJR was a year or two ago. I have the Motion Pro unit and what ever the height was at it was plenty sufficient. I want to say it was 30-50% but don't quote me on that. The tubes are pretty tall for their diameter. I blip the throttle to make...

I personally prefer the manometer style gauges (fluid filled tubes, like the Motion Pro unit). I have a set of gauges and they don't match, nor can they be adjusted on the fly to "calibrate" them when you hook them up to a common vacuum source. The manometer gauges can be connected to the...

Unfortunately by the time that happens, I'm snowed in already. lol

I'm starting to figure out trips and vacation time for next year. Is anything in the works yet?

I built mine out of 1x2 tubing and I think it was 16 gauge. I used 14 gauge for the main frame tube, and 16 gauge for everything else if I remember right. They way you have your trailing arms setup right now with the flat bar vertically out to the wheels, I'd be curious to know how easy it is...

Revision looks good! If you build another revision I have a couple suggestions for you to consider: You can actually have STRONGER and lighter trailing arms by using tubing. The strength of the steel is primarily in the outside surfaces as this has the highest tensile and compression loads...

I hauled a jointer back from Detroit. Not really sure how that picture snuck in there, lol.

Dropping price to $900.

Cool, will be neat to see what you come up with. On a different note, how are the hubs/spindles designed on those Rack n roll wheels?

You could possibly save more weight by lowering your longitudinal runners on the sides down and using them to cap the lateral supports. Right now you have a framework on top of a frame; try to combine them into one piece.

It has a permanent MN registration. Nope. lol.

I built this thing last year to take out to NAFO, so if you saw it at Montrose, it's the same one (except I put a 1-7/8" ball coupler on it and took my 3-axis off). Specs are over at my build thread. Built this thing to ride very smoothly and handle well at high speed. Trailer is located in...

Thanks for the tip, Townsend! So last weekend I ended up hauling a 6" jointer home with this trailer from Detroit. Took the trailer with me to pick up a tent my parents were giving me, and ended up also bringing home a craftsman jointer with stand as well that my Uncle gave me. Had to...

I'm definitely out this year. Hopefully I can make it next year.

That's messed up.
