Wise ol' Radman, you know some of us cannot do anything or figure out anything on our own.:stupid: damn stinkin' wimmin and still waiting for the nigerian cashiers check to clear. :D you crack me up.

Yeowch! Never had any burn(s) No heat reduction mods and wear plain ol' blue jeans for now. Though, I have yet to ride in anything above 97 degrees. It was 74 and sunny today, riding was great. mo

Awww Man, now you tell me. I now have a custom paint job on the front fairing complete with tiny scratches from the spring nuts. Sh!t. :angry: Great suggestion, I will remember that tip next time, Thanks. MO

Cought some air on accident about two weeks ago over some RR tracks. I said to myself "self, don't do that again". It ended up being a ball crusher OUch! :cry:

My neighbor just returned from Sturgis also. He borrowed my power washer to blow the oil off of the underside due to a new oil leak acquired in the 4000 miles round trip. It seems that the rocker box is leakin'. He had to top it off somewhere in route with a quart he said.

I seem to recall that WC has BMW touring grips with Top Gun bar ends.?.

Holy Moley, I stopped in the Yammy dealer today to pick up a 36mm socket and what did I see????????? Raven Black R1. Pictures do it little justice, that thang is schweet. I threw my leg over it and it's really not that bad (comfort wise) everything else is way Bad :commando: Now I'm off to...

Matress or Box springs? I think that the box springs would raise way more havoc if ridden over. I would probably ride over the matress though. And if i fell down at least I would have a nice soft place to lay down and wait for the meat wagon. :)

Regarding the cutting of the ends. I used a dremel and a cutting wheel. Don't do that. I eyeballed the length and once the cutting wheel touched the grip....zzzziippppp, it walked up the grip cutting it further up than I would have liked. The clutch side went way better. I started out using...

Woodstock, Read below it was from a post many moons ago but it has the link. MO Hi - I bought a digital thermometer on Ebay for cheap, but found out later that Coralife makes a decent fish tank thermometer that is probably water resistant - cost about $7 here...

Screwdriver and some spray paint thinner used for Archery worked like a charm. Thanks for the insight. Tried the Taki's out today and they really do make a difference. The extra girth and vibration absorbing properties do the job. All for under $15. Nice. mo

I bought the larger AYAMAY windshield. It reduced the buffeting but not as much as I would have liked. I only use the larger one when it a bit cooler out. With the larger one riding with the temps above 80-85 is pure hell with gear on. Since it has been in the 90's in Michigan lately, I have...

TWN, I remember when I was first looking at FJR's the first used one had fork mounted driving lights. I know I've seen them for sale on somewhere on the web. I'll check it out and if I find something, I will post the info. MO

Orangevale, I too just installed the Taki's. I tackled the throttle side first. I took my time and measured twice and cut once. I was in no hurry. I turned on the dremel and comensed to cutting. the cutting wheel bit into the rubber and zipped too far up on the grip DOH ! Fortunatley, I...

Great info, thanks everybody. Can't ride today, family reunion YUK! :bad:

I sincerely hope that they will be available in black instead of GAC (gay-ass-chrome.) :D

Sphincter value yesterday was about a 6 for me. I know this one must be an origional :rolleyes: Young blonde in a red econo car waiting to pull out of strip mall parking lot. I see her waiting for at least 5 seconds. I did notice her looking down, probably checking out some new piercing...

OraggevaleFJR, was just the nut loose or the spanner nut too? I have heard a clunk coming from my bike when large bumps are encountered. Is that what you would call normal? I checked the front end for any slop by having my neighbor lean on the back end while on the center stand while i reefed...

I too purchased the Scorpion. I ran around to 6 different dealers trying on helmets of all makes. It came down to a Scorpion vs. Arai. I could have purchased three Scorps for the price of the Arai. I agree with Orangevale, comfort is great and you can't beat the price. Plus the antifog...

'05, three months old and 3000 fun miles. Spine, don't feel bad about the 300miles. That's exactally the summer miles that i put on my previous bike. Guess what, the wife talked me into selling it because i didn't ride it much. DOH! I should have never sold it. But on the bright side...
