    Kawasaki overall quality?

    I had a 1998 1500 Vulcan Classic before getting my FJR. I had three warrenty issues with it. Two were leaking final drive seals and one was an electrical problem. All were fixed promptly with out costing me a cent (extended warrenty on everything from now on). But it ran great, never let me down...

    Too Easy

    There isn't a bike made that isn't modified and tinkered with to some extent by alot of people. In the past I was one of them. My '82 GS1100 (which I still have) got a bunch of modifications done to it that weren't needed, but were what I wanted at the time 20 years ago. Then my 1500 Vulcan got...

    Boot heals

    These shields might work also. Might just need a little smaller hose clamps. They're made by Targa. https://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_cata...0308&mmyId=

    Just Curious

    I've been asked by other people what the best bike to start out on is, and since there is no BEST bike I recommend starting with a dual-sport from one of the big four. One that fits your physical size is more important than engine cc. A good used "whatever dual-sport " will be cheap to run...

    Handguns

    I have a S&W model 629 .44 Mag with a 3" barrel and round butt grips and it IS the nicest shooting (small?) handgun I've had the pleasure to shoot. Load it up with .44 specials and recoil is very mild, not to mention accurate. Full house Magnums are a handfull to say the least and if you don't...

    Less tension on the clutch lever... how can this be accomplished?

    Hmmm... That's the first time I've heard of this type of problem. The only thing I can think of that's very basic is making sure the pivot on the levers are greased well. Other than that I don't know. Is it possible to try out the clutches of any other FJR's around your area? Maybe it's normal.

    My new 5 string bass

    That is absolutely beautiful!!!! I'm a novice bass player myself. I decided to take it up a year ago last X-mas and being left handed I'm teaching myself, as instruction is next to impossible to find. At the moment I have a Fender Jazz with an ash body. You should see the looks I get when I...

    More News From Oregon

    I live in the same county and have always marveled that the meth-heads will work their asses off taking local bridges apart to sell the metal for scrap, but they wouldn't work one damn minute for a paycheck. This is no joke. Anymore while riding in the rural areas I have to wonder if a bridge I...

    Our dogs new wheels

    He really is one happy pup. As of today the yearly Pacific NW monsoon has let up and we were able to get him out in the grass and let him get around without his cart and he seems to be getting some feeling and strength back in one of his hind legs and is able to hobble a few steps before he...

    Our dogs new wheels

    Originally I didn't want a dog and my wife pestered me for a couple of years and then when our daughter left home and got married my wife showed up one day with a puppy (Oscar)... Well what could I say? So I had to put up with it. Long story short, Oscar and I took to each other right away and I...

    Our dogs new wheels

    Thanks to everyone for the support. It's been a very tough 2 1/2 months for us but it's getting better all the time. The pics you all posted are great! I'll have to show my wife soon. The helmet might be a good idea! LOL. I'll have to give the farkling some thought, but it will probably have to...

    Our dogs new wheels

    Awhile back I posted about our dog, Oscar, who had gotten paralized in his hind end after jumping off the bed and injuring his back and I said I'd send a pic or two when and if we got him a set of wheels. He seems to get around pretty good outside but tends to bump into things in the house...
