    Options for pegs dragging?

    Maybe just call up Yamaha and tell them to weld up a new frame for you. One with higher clearance and higher seat height? That would take care of both problems... Yes I'd try the pegs back up and a taller seat first, but if that doesn't work this would be an option.

    Decent deal on Shoei Quest $246 shipped

    That's an exceptional deal for a great helmet. If didn't already have one I'd buy... actually thought of buying another! the Qwest is a well respected helmet.

    Planning a ride up hwy 1

    Now Look! any of you taking Mikes advice here I'd point out this first: instead of having a stebel nautilus air horn... Mike has a fog horn on his bike!! Net Guy, there's no way you can go wrong here, no way. But it would take time and experience to find what you enjoy the most. That's...

    Planning a ride up hwy 1

    Just crossed this off my bucket list also, but doing it again I'd follow more of what Road_Runner is saying... I went from San Diego to San Fran. Enjoyed it but, lot's of traffic down towards San Diego (or Huntington Beach). So you'll learn "filtering" but it still makes for a lot of stop and...

    Best Place To Buy?

    Word of warning about D&H... a few years ago I gave them a 500 deposit for a new 08. Spoke with Gerald on the phone fist and he said "if you had to cancel we would only charge like 100 bucks". Well I did have to cancel, my Mother went into the hospital with a heart attack, just decided it...

    Anti-Lock Brakes

    Oh Boy... :dribble: This is going to lead to a lot of crazy discussion :) don't mean that in a bad way... just a crazy way... I think it would be best to just point out a few basic things to think about... 1) Generally speaking, the front brake is about 70% and the rear is about 30% of...

    Being Seen

    I'm a big advocate of the "being seen" motto. Recently had to ride "on base" so had my reflective vest on. You know, some people will say it was "just your perception"... But I've got to tell you... people have respect for you when u have a reflective vest on. They really do. It was quite...

    How many of you started your moto life on a Brit Bike?

    Hell Yes, my first bike (really, other than a Honda scooter) was a 650 BSA Hornet. Picked it up from a local yokel and while the motor was in tact, had to put it back together. Luved that bike!

    For sale 2010 FJR

    Send your photos to [email protected] and I will post them in this thread for you. Good luck with the sale, yes it does seem a bit high. It's good to remember, buying from a dealer, brand new and you break it in vs buying from an individual, who won't stand behind it, and you have no idea...

    Why does TBS help with engine vibs?

    Timely and interesting thread. I bought my fjr used, about 3500 miles on the odo. Didn't like the vibes at 4k. Read here where someone said riding the bike in the 4k range often, a lot, over and over and over, might help. where ever I went for the next 2k miles, kept it in a gear that had me...

    If you want a simple FJR throttle lock, try this.

    This is a link tot he Vista Cruise install I did. No, you don't have to drill a hole in the housing if you don't want to. It's really quite simple and easy.

    Unusual Sight in the Sky Tomorrow

    We were in the middle of teaching an MSF BRC when we stopped it to watch it go over Tucson. It was an awesome sight. Initially, the request to have it go over Tucson wasn't confirmed. But one of the people in the class said it was going to happen, so was looking for it, think it was about 11:00...

    Lane Sharing Study

    Yeah, that is very interesting, thnx Having just experience lane sharing during my trip up US 1, there's little doubt that some drivers really don't like it. but most people seemed okay with it and some would even give you more room so you could get by. The funny thing about the report, well...
