The first step to recovery is being able to admit that you've got a problem. :D Looks like great fun!

Seems odd that there isn't already a vendor entry for WynPro so let's fix that: I purchased PAIR cover plates from Dave (08FJR4ME). They were shipped promptly (and arrived the same day as my new CCT - not sure how he managed that ). They are top quality, fit like a glove, came with useful...

Dang, this forum has got one smart bunch on folks. You hit 90+% of it and the replies covered the rest of what I keep on my list. Only thing I'd add (or didn't see) is a good flashlight and/or headlamp. If nothing else the extra batteries can come in handy. Sounds like you've got it licked...

Took the words right out of my mouth. Mine arrived promptly and I'm hoping to install them this weekend. Very fine looking parts and Dave has been a pleasure to deal with.

Back when the Feej was still ghey shiny I pulled into an overlook up at Bear Lake just as 3 other FJRs were pulling in (a '06, '05 and a '03). I walked over and said "Nice bikes! Those are BMWs, right?" and got a chuckle. After a few I mentioned the forum and how it had helped with the...

Between that and your avatar... Oh, never mind.

I just did mine this weekend and was wondering the same thing. Glad to hear it. BTW - 51K and still within spec. Would never have tried this myself if not for all the help from this forum. Thanks everyone!

I think I'd go with the Hondapotamus. It'll save you some money, storage is good, that V-4 mill is a marvel and when you get back to the Feej, you'll be in heaven. Sounds like a fun trip.

Some cheap options here and here.

My PR2s arrived today from Derby: Front: Mfr Date 26th week of 2009 (made in Thailand) Rear: Mrf Date 39th week of 2008 (made in Spain) The rear isn't exactly a spring chicken but at $218.66 delivered that's not a complaint. They came FedEx ground instead of 2 day but since the shipping was...

Sounds wonderful! You might consider rethinking your Utah route. Duchesne to Helper is beautiful and 128 out of Moab is lovely but the rest is kind of sub par as far as Utah goes. If you could swing over to the south central part of the state (Bryce, Zion, UT-12 and Capitol Reef) I think...

"I'm sure the weather will improve once we get over the pass."

Sounds like a plan. Only thing I'll add is that if they're wired up like mine they really do get HOT. I've only had mine dialed up all the way once when the temps were in the upper 20s. Anything above about 40F and I can't hold them on high. Of course that's a function of grips and gloves...

Wow, Bob - I'm surprised to hear that you had better luck with the Hot Grips than the Dual Star/Symtecs. My experience was just the opposite. I did a brief write-up here and I think there's a link to fjr1300.info with details about the DS/Symtec wiring options (search for "Tom Barber" in that...

Mine is wired for the hottest setting and the Heat-troller has been fine for about 3 years/50K.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that. It really takes a quiet environment and some serious concentration to get through it. I do like what he has to say though.

I do indeed. Thanks for takin' us all along!

I was wondering if I was the only person to notice. The days with Lee Parks were something special.

I gotta go with MCRIDER007 on this about Bob and Patti Carpenter starting Road Rider but that doesn't diminish the fact that Fred Rau has been huge in the development of MCN and is one solid motorcyclin' dude. I've only swapped an email or two with him but he's definitely "one of us." I too...
