"When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better." Mae West

I saw the table above in the '06 Bin-O-Facts topic but need to ask a dumb question. Does the table mean that, for example, a 17mm nut is torqued to the same value as a 12mm bolt (40 ft-lb)?

Master Yoda. Won't really matter much where the bars are. Really, it works!

Do you wear earplugs? Coming home from work today, I forgot to put mine in and couldn't believe how noisy it was. Won't do that again!

Colorado! Yeah!! :D

I sat on an FJR at a dealer, spent many hours on this and a couple of other forums, bought the first '06 I found, and am amazed at what a smart decision I made. There are a lot of good bikes out there, but only a few great ones. The FJR is one of the few. I can't imagine what I would get from...

Welcome. Glad to see you're getting the fast (blue) model. Enjoy!

Retired after 9 years in the Marines (A-4 Skyhawk, VMA-324, VMA-331, USS Independence) and 12 years in Air National Guard (F-4 Phantom, F-16 Falcon a.k.a. "Viper", Arkansas ANG "Flying Razorbacks"). The FJR, by the way, has so many of the same characteristics of the F-16--power, handling...

So when are you coming to Denver? Maybe next spring? :eh-smiley:

Welcome. I've had bikes of just about ever category and the FJR beats them all, hands down. Unfortunately, you're about to spend more time here and on the Web hunting down farkles than you are riding! If you're like many who come over from cruiserdom, the 4-6 hour ride you mention will...

After having the instrument cluster on my '06 replaced to fix the 17mpg problem, I left the dealer and headed down a fairly smooth street. I immediately noticed that my windshield was shaking, something I had not noticed before. I took it back to the dealer. The mechanic who worked on the...

Thanks for putting everything in one place, Fred. I spent a couple of hours last weekend searching the forum to come up with the same collection of parts. I placed an order for the V46, universal adapter, Cobalt Blue lid, and the E95S gel backrest yesterday with Mike at University. The total...

Some people just have a way with words. Does that come from riding through a deer?

Agreed, but I like the looks of it. I think this and the BMW F650 tail bag (also here, item #6) would make a killer travelin' kit.

Okay, I'm convinced. I'm coming to Kalifornia next summer!

This probably doesn't belong in "Ride Reports" but it's as close as I can find. Post a picture of your favorite road. To get things started, here's one of mine. Hwy 212 south of Red Lodge, MT:

I've seen praise (except for the smallish map pocket) on the forum of the Rapid Transit Recon 19 tank bag. I went to NewEnough with the thought of buying one and found the Rapid Transit "The Stack LT" Magnetic Tank Bag. It looks a lot like the Recon with a lower section added. (NewEnough has...

I have to carry a company computer to/from work and am considering the Axio hardshell tank bag. They're pricey, but it looks like it would be a good solution for my problem. My concern is whether it will fit on the FJR tank--it's 17"L, 14"W, and 8"H. I'm pretty sure the 14" width would...

Don't sweat it. Put it in the little glove box and forget it. If you go through and it doesn't register, they have gnomes who will check the video for your license plate and manually charge you. As long as your license number is registered with them, it won't matter. If for some reason a...

Sorry to hear about the accident, and my best wishes on your wife's recovery. Having watched my son slide off a cliff once (minor injuries to both he and his bike--a lone miracle tree saved him), I empathize with your feelings. Hang in there. By the way, this month's "Mental Motorcycling"...
