I put FZ1 mirrors on my '04 yrs ago and like them. Pricey, but good.

you know, I like my FJR, but I'm going to agree w/ RenoJohn about your choice. and for the comment about preferring the fuel injected FZ1, I recall the bike reviews when it switched over from carbs saying that the earlier carb 'd models were better in being smoother on throttle / or having...

good time to replace them/there tires. In your shoes, I'd choose either the newer Michelin Pilot Road 2's or the Avon Storm Ultra 2's. Michelin is more common among vendors; Avon has the better road warranty.

well Papa, I've the same '04 bike with 53,000 (never been asked to report the miles, BTW) ... must be non-ABS just like mine. Mine's never ticked; always started, ran; I use regular non-synthetic Shell diesel truck oil 15W-40. If you might overnight ride, the std hard bags are great. I'm...

nice report & photos. and did you do anything special to make the clouds stand out so well?

to the OP: that's the quick information you were looking for.

It's tough for grown old eyes to see into shade, if you're in bright sunlight. Been there.

wow, what a detail is my reaction. I've been helped many times in life, so try for a more "pass-it-forward" approach, and would have included the YES for the next guy, whether I profited from it or not.

...six, thanks for the fuel info^^^ and posting back to us. Info might be of use before long.

Hey Duster, can't quite figure out if you're trying to fix something that's not (really) broken. Mine's kinda going there too (very occasionally), but WTH.

w/o recalling the brand, was on a ride when co-rider discovered flat in the morning. He went to grocery store, bought sealant, into tire, rode 3 blocks & pumped up further per can directions: showed multiple leaks (~12) with green seeping out. pressure held. he ran that tire w/o further...

Well, assume here you're honest. So, if you called her "*****," then whenever you want to get out of a conversation, you could honestly say, "Well, I'm outta here guys - gonna head home to ride my *****," ... and then swagger out the door into the sunset - kinda like John Wayne.

Agree. on my '04. And when I do loan out my bike, the mirrors are complimented...

agree, yes. also, what brand, model of flip helmet was it?

Info on hgwy 140, please... 220miles/6.5gallons = 34 mpg :excl: What is this new generation coming to?

good for you. I'm there too. My rule of thumb is don't buy a vehicle from anyone under 30-35, because they need to get over the I-get-ahead-at-all-costs perception of our market system.

can't conceive of reliable internet based advice for a situation where you want to drill a second hole to patch the first holes leak. Sounds much like the plans to stop the BP Gulf oil leak... So, with a failed plug attempt as you describe it, I'd probably take out my wallet and buy a new...

look forward to seeing your progress, and hopefully some photos, too.

Welcome!! Hey, post up a photo of bike and you and your location. Where do you ride? Bet if your passenger wears hiking boots or M/C riding boots it won't be a problem. Vaguely recall thoughts about peg vibs when I first got the bike. Can't recall any solution that I did; probably again...
