    SOLD..FJR Side Cases.

    Hey, if these are still available I'll take 'em. My brother just had a low speed low side and the bike slid back end first into a parked pickup truck, cracking the left and scuffing the right bag. PM sent.

    Penn-Run Group Meet/Ride Mem-Day Wknd '15

    Derrick and I got home a couple hours ago. Took a little detour to Somerville NJ to watch the Tour of Somerville bike (bicycle!) races. Great weekend all around...the roads, weather, after-party...all first rate. Had a great time meeting new friends and putting faces to screen names I feel...

    I'll be next in line for the Shoei if it doesn't work out for Blassoff. I need XL.

    Penn-Run Group Meet/Ride Mem-Day Wknd '15

    I'm in! At least I've got a room. My son and I are hoping to get there. He's still waiting to hear about a summer internship so we can't make firm summer plans yet but hope to see everybody there! Scott (and Derrick)

    The 2014 EOM Home Safe Thread

    Home safe and sound. Got an early start and had my 650 miles done by 3:00. Thanks to the crew for a great program and to Jim, Iris, Art and Oface for letting me tag along. Couldn't have asked for 2 better days of riding!

    '04 Headlights out

    Revived this old thread just to mention that I had the exact same problem last night...Both headlights/both high and low beams died on my way home at 11:00 last night. Fortunately my son was with me on his bike and lit the way home. Got up this morning thinking it was going to be a bad...

    New Dunlop SportMax Q2 $210/set @ motosport

    I've never tried them but they're one of the favorites at track days. Almost as much grip as a pure track tire and about $150 cheaper per set. Last better than a pure track tire, too. Not sure how long they'd last on the road. Also not sure how they'd handle on a 600+ pound bike. They've...

    SE Ohio Ramble Home Safe Check-In Thread

    Home Safe. 430 miles of slab today but the time there was worth it 10 times over. I've had my FJR for a couple years now but this was my first FJR Group ride. To say it was an eye-opener is a giant understatement! I didn't know there were roads like that but more importantly, I didn't know...

    "Seafoaming" your FJR?

    Not sure about that. Maybe it would dissolve some built up carbon in the exhaust pipe. Maybe some would work it's way back to the back side of the exhaust valves but that would be swimming upstream, so to speak. Usually you introduce Seafoam through the TBS ports with the hope that it will...

    "Seafoaming" your FJR?

    The really funny part of this is... THE TUBE HE'S POURING THE SEAFOAM IN IS THE INTAKE HOSE FOR THE "2ND AIR" SYSTEM!! That's their equivalent of our PAIR system. That hose feeds air (and Seafoam) into the EXHAUST side of the combustion process, not the intake side! Here are some pictures...

    I want/need a local tech session near Philadephia - who wants to join me?

    Glad I found this thread...I'm only about an hour north of you and would be very interested in running down there for a tech day. The Good News - I have the exact same bike as you and did my own valve check (no adjustment needed) last summer. The Bad News - My short-term memory isn't worth a...

    SE Ohio Ramble - 2-4 May 2014

    I've been trying to talk my riding buddies into doing a long weekend ride out there for 10 years. Always something stupid gets in the way...you know...wives, jobs, kids, the usual crap! Saw this thread and said "That's for me!" I'm in! So Wayne, please add me to the list. So far it's just...

    If I didn't have bad luck....

    Any input from passengers as to the correct placement (forward/backward) of the backrest?

    Wanted - 04/05 Fork Cap

    Thanks for the link. My old one still works, it's just chewed up some. The caps are hidden under the handlebar so it's not worth $103 to fix one. I just thought if somebody had an old fork laying around that they had dinged in a crash I could give them a couple bucks for the cap.

    Wanted - 04/05 Fork Cap

    Boogered mine up taking the cap off to change the fork oil. (Didn't realize you had to loosen that upper clamp bolt first!) Anyway, if somebody has one laying around from a dinged fork I'd appreciate it. Thx.
