    fork seals leak in the cold?

    I doubt the PO did, but I've railed on it a few times enough to get the front end up; though I don't think I've lifted it more than an inch, or two at most because it doesn't stay up for more than half a second. Maybe you're on to something. I noticed today on the way home from work I've...

    fork seals leak in the cold?

    I'll have to look at my Sig on the computer.... No idea how a 14 showed up on there! I just ordered a seal kit, I need to change the oil anyway.

    fork seals leak in the cold?

    I don't have a 14, just this '08. Already got about 1000 miles on this spring. Bought in 2013 with 8k.

    fork seals leak in the cold?

    Sorry if this has been discussed before... Please point me in that direction if so. I noticed the fork seals are both leaking last night. Bike only had 14k on it. Seems weird BOTH would start leaking this soon. Would riding in 30 deg. F temps cause the oil to blow by the seals due to high...

    Is Laam seat still in business?

    Seth is a great guy to work with, but he is VERY busy. I was out there a last week on vacation and he adjusted my seat for me. It's pretty much a one man show as he just has a full time secretary (that seems to overbook him as he says) and one guy that helps part time. Tons of seats in the...

    Laam seats

    Well just wanted to give an update on my seat. Flew out to Redding to see some family and brought the seat along. Went in for an adjustment at Seth's and was able to do a test ride (thanks to a generous gentlemelan over at the FJR Owners forum) and I think I finally have the seat set up...

    Survey: What's under your seat?

    Lots of good ideas. I need to get some tire repair stuff and a $20 bill under my seat! Lots of good ideas. I need to get some tire repair stuff and a $20 bill under my seat!

    GenII OEM Triple Tree Fork Plate

    Art, are you talking about the trippleclamps that hold the forks and to which the handlebars attach to, or a stiffening plate that attaches to the middle of the forks? Sounds like the prior but your post is a little confusing.

    Avon Storm 3D X-M

    I had a set of the storm 2s on my ZR-7 that was my predecessor to the FJR and I remember the front starting to cup after about 2-3K. I want to say I also had some head shake with them if I let go of the bars on deceleration, but I honestly can't remember. I do remember though that I had a hum...

    Redding area guys that can help me out?

    Awesome, saves me looking it up! Thank you. Now, I wonder if I would be able to pick up a bike down there....somewhere....maybe. Something more to look into. Too bad I'm doing this in the middle of winter. *sigh* Granted if the weather was excellent I probably wouldn't get any time in with...

    Redding area guys that can help me out?

    Guess I knew the seats are the same but are the ergonomics the same? I'm 6'7" so having the same foot position is rather important and I don't know if the angle of the frame supporting the seat is the same and what not. Winter riding gear isn't a problem, I've got that, just need to find I...

    Redding area guys that can help me out?

    Bugnatr, thanks for the info. Hard to imagine green with frost. You betcha we're having a good ol' fashion winter! Freaking -7F going to the in laws Thursday morning for Thanksgiving. Big john, I need a Gen II since I have an 08.

    Redding area guys that can help me out?

    I'm in need of a huge favor if someone is able to help me out. I have a seat that Seth Laam made for me and we have been struggling to get it right. I'm looking at making a trip out to Redding to visit my wife's sister and I would like to bring my seat along and take it over to Seth and get it...

    Pay It Forward

    Okay, so I have a heated grip controller to offer up. I got it from a guy on the forum last winter with the intent of using it when I installed grip heaters on my bike. Well when I got around to it this fall I found this does NOT fit a GEN II in the factory spot. Bummer. :( Perhaps it...
