I've got an 08 manual to sell. VG+ condition (a few dark smudges). $35 shipped to lower 48....

Set up a search on Ebay that will notify you when one is posted for sale. I got one for my 08 in almost new condition for $20. .

A few years ago, I bought one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1100-LB-MOTORCYCLE-DIRT-BIKE-ATV-SCISSOR-MINI-JACK-LIFT-STAND-CENTER-FLOOR-NEW-/140750924233?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item20c568a9c9&vxp=mtr#ht_2958wt_1116 Works good on all my bikes except my Ducati Monster. I just used...

"...Yeah. All the votes up until now are three years off. 'Cept all us over 60s." Yep, when I voted, the overall average age jumped a couple of years.... :wackosmiley:

Well, I just mounted one of those "sh!tty" Shinkos on the rear of my BMW ($19k+). Paired it with a new PR2 in the front. Took it out for a 250 mile break-in run. No surprises. Handles as good as with the prior Z6's. So far, so good... However, the set of OEM Z6's I removed taught me one thing...

I'm fortunate enough to currently have both an FJR (08/A) and an R1200RT (09). They both make me grin. Both have been cross-country and I wouldn't hesitate to take either again. Both are keepers. :yahoo: That said, since I got the RT, it has been accumulating miles at about twice the rate as...

Fear not.... It sporadically happens on all of my bikes.... when I've had a big bowl of ham & beans the night before. I consider this phenomena to be completely normal.. :stinker:

I'm on my 2nd one. Good fit and well made.

Has anyone with a Brodie harness installed went in and had the recall done yet? I looked through this thread and couldn't find an instance, but may have missed it (old eyes).....

+1 on using Ebay to get an OEM Service Manual. About 3 yrs ago I got an almost new one to my door for a little over $20.

+1 on what he said... I've got a 08 FJR and an 09 R1200RT. Both are fun to ride. However, IMO, the Beemer is easier to ride mostly due to significantly (and very noticeable) less weight and lower CG....Very light handling (comparatively). The FJR is great choice (for me) when some adrenaline...

Nice, clean jack though...

Like you, I had a 94 R1100RS that I bought new in 93. Overall, great bike. :) Only complaints were a weak starting when cold and transmission chatter at idle in neutral (especially when warm). Traded it off 1-1/2 years ago on another Beemer. At times, I kinda miss the old girl... :dribble:

Brodie, Pls make one of your kits for me too. Dave

That could be grounds for divorce (if I was married).

+1 Same experience with the Sentinel pants....and the jacket.

I've had several (4-5) Corbins over the years. Only 1 didn't work really well for me and that one was a definite improvement over the stock seat it replaced. My butt must be something like 80% Corbin; 20% Other....

....or do like I when I picked up my FJR at D&H. I picked it up before noon and scheduled the 600 mile service for 2 days later. I brought it back with ~850 miles on the clock and Nick did the service which took about three hours (because of all my questions -- my first FJR). Very reasonably...

Over the years, I've purchased 4 Corbins. No problems. Still using 2 of them on my FJR and a 94 Ducati Monster.

I bought a Handy about 20 years ago. Got a good deal and also purchased the snowmobile wings and ATV extensions. Its about the best shop investment I've ever made (well, maybe the frig would rank right up there too). :good: I would rate it at about a 9+ (out of 10). MUCH easier working on...
