    Table Lift

    Another +1 on the Handy lift. I bought mine about 20 years ago. When I bought it they gave me a 25% discount, so I bought the ATV extensions and snowmobile wings at that time also. About the best shop tool I've ever purchased. Now I can comfortably work on all the toys. When empty and in the...

    Anybody come from a BMW R1200RT to a FJR1300

    Yesterday, I just closed a deal on a new 09 R1200RT. Got a deal on a trade for my old 94 R1100RS that I could resist. This will be my 4th Beemer and they have some unique qualities (like some other brands) that keep drawing me to them. The RT was in the running when I bought the FJR 18 months...

    Corbin seat

    I just got mine about a month ago. Had it made with the Gray Partners (darker gray) leather on the seat and GP vinyl on the sides. Had navy blue welts put on. IMO, it looks good with the black/silver on the bike. I won't have access to a camera for several days (mid-week?), but if you want some...

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Just got my recall done last Thursday. I made the appointment a week ago at a local dealer (bought it at D&H). I was about 1/2 hour early for the appointment, but they got it right in and it was done an hour later. Everything looked ok and no other problems arose during my extra-long test ride...

    Corbin arrived today!

    Got my Corbins a couple of weeks ago. On mine, I had the "Nose Job" (front of seat narrowed) to help my short inseam. While installing the new seats, I did a comparison with the stocker while stopped in standing position. With the stock seat, both heels are about 1-1/2" inches off the ground...

    FJR first bike out of 6 I ever dropped!!

    Yep, me too. Stall on a right-hand turn attempt from a stop on a highly-crowned street 1,500 mile from home. Bike was only about a week old. Dropped on right side. Looking back, I rationalize this incident by assuming that I, sub-consciously, was attempting to make certain the cam chain got...

    Engine Cranks, will not start

    Good choice. I bought mine there and had them do the 600 mile. They seem to be very knowledgeable on FJRs. VERY reasonable service charges....and, best of all, nice folks too.

    Shinko Advance Radials

    That's a good price. There's been an outfit on Ebay that has been running sets for for about $175 delivered. I just checked and I see their price is now $199.

    EPA wants to increase ethanol to 15%

    Not true. There is two types of corn that are generally grown: sweet corn and "field" (regular) corn (if you don't consider minor types like popcorn, decorative corn, etc). Sweet corn is grown for direct human consumption; i.e. corn on the cob, frozen and canned corn. It is harvested before it...

    Do you ride with your Hard Bags?

    Off except for multi-day trips. Use a tailpack for all the necessities on day-trips.
