$239 + shipping, They're very proud of their stuff.. My solution: Spare material laying around in my shop, $32 for new casters and a couple hours of cutting and welding: Sure, It ain't pretty but it does allow be a bigger beer budget. My

RM sale is pending also.

Indeed. If everything else was equal, this would be a key decider!

I needed a rear tire (two actually)during my western ride this September. All I could find conveniently in Colorado Springs area was a Dunlop RS4 at Cycle Gear. I like the tire very much. I agreed to use it because my brother has been getting great life and performance from the RS4s on his...

Somehow both of his FJRs are in my garage now. I'm a little full of Yamaha hardware at the moment. Lucky me.

Happy to report here that Alan and Helen's 2015 FJR got a new home yesterday. It was a little sad extracting this beautiful, well cared for ES from the garage at their home, but equally joyous knowing the bike would be ridden again after two plus years of sitting. The mice were evicted from...

RDL sale is pending. RM still available.

left you a PM Buda

These are in Massachusetts right now. The last time I sent seats to northern CA, shipping was about $60 I think. I will make a box just big enough to hold them to keep cost down. I think volume is more important than weight for this kind of thing. I would guess that the RDL is a little...

I'm helping Mrs Ionbeam sort through some left over items from Alan's substantial collection of FJR parts collected over the last 20 years or more. I found two complete Gen 1 seats, I assume from his 2004 FJR. They both appear to be in good shape. The RDL is listed for $200, the RM is $150...

Hey Rusty3, I did my first CC trip in 2009, a solo coast to coast run. You know where I hit the Pacific Ocean for the first time? Yup, Crescent City.

Well, I totally forgot I started this thread. Senior citizen memory performance (and other things) is not what it used to be. Overall: Wonderful trip! So many great roads and beautiful, stunning scenery. I'll add more detail later but I'll toss in a couple data items. Total miles...

I wrapped tennis racket grip tape over my grips with the primary reason being to increase the grip diameter mostly in the center (lengthwise) and taper it toward each end of the grip. The 'feel' is greatly improved for me and the heat gets through just fine. Although it takes a couple minutes...

RIP, Professor Ionbeam. You will be greatly missed. It was a pleasure knowing you and Helen and riding with you both, and an honor to call you my friend. Many of you know of Alan's technical knowledge, specifically FJR related knowledge, and his very generous dispensing of that knowledge. He...

Lovely up there Matt. Enjoy!

Mike S, At least a month. We're at the age where stopping to smell the flowers once in a while becomes more important :)

Thanks Steve. We'll be on the lookout.

That is on our list, I tried to keep my message brief. I am looking forward to riding there.

Planning to leave Massachusetts around the 19th with one buddy, picking up two more in Denver around the 23rd, then heading to British Columbia for some much anticipated two-wheeled adventure. First week (after Denver) puts us in Wyoming (Yellowstone, Chief Joseph Scenic Highway, Beartooth...

My brother has Garaulds excellent hiway pegs on his 2005 FJR. He was having trouble with the pegs and peg stems being ground away from contact with the ground. So we drilled some new holes in the brackets to move the pegs up about an inch. I don't know if he's tested them yet.
