    Instrument Cluster

    Thanks All for the help. Checked/cleaned the connections I thought may effect it..no luck. Covered 1/8 of display as ionbeam sugessted and determined its the right bulb flashing. It has to be..maybe.. the bulb is heating up and then shutting off..then cooling and coming back on again...

    something interesting with my FJR

    Girl smirks, sticks her complete upper torso out of the passenger window and I get the full frontal flash at 70 mph on the interstate. This happened to me once. But it was my pregnant ex-wife and she had a $ sign painted on her stomach. :P

    removing rear wheel

    Easy tire and brake replacement. Tire spooned on easier than any I've ever done. Maintenance seems to be a snap..except for the CCT. Was looking at that bugger today. I've read all the threads on doing it (even have one on order) It looks like a PIA to do..and I hate fixing it if it ain't...

    EOM 2012 dates?

    https://www.greenbriersf.com/accommodations.html This place is nice. Cabins only but within 15 minutes of Lewisburg. No hotels though...just cabins but beautiful setting on the river with outdoor pool nearby. About 5 minutes from interstate 64.

    GEN II CCT, Thermostat Change & Sasquatch Shock Preview

    I had found a very easy "how to" on replacing the cct. But..I lost it. Stupid me didnt bookmark it. Anyway it showed a picture of the motor removed which helped in locating everything. It also stated something about turning the crank 2 rotations "manually" to make sure it didn't jump a...
