Yellow Roadster: This one would put bugs in your teeth. But looks pretty good. (couldn't find the picture. stupid webshots. Showed a cut down windshield and roll bar, no roll cage.)

Is that because of the high horsepower engine, or are there other reasons? The FJR has an AE model (no shift linkage or clutch needed). If I were to make plans or a kit available (cart WAAaaaY before the horse here), that would be an interesting option. 145HP at just over 1000lbs is a very...

OK, Nitrotate is actually doing it. I'm just still thinking about it. I have acquired a donor bike now, gotten a little capital to get started, and spent a lot of time designing on Sketchup. The results so far: Comments and questions welcome. The general requirements are: side-by-side...

Looking good! Any more details you can provide on that front suspension? Did you copy the geometry from the donor car or design it yourself?

I've seen a lot of people strap a bag on to the seat, whether it's just to the back seat or extending from the seat onto the rack. I'm sure you've already thought of that. I have seen a fuel cell/rear rack that replaces the seat, but I don't have any details on that. Perhaps someone else can...

I'm going to try the lower pegs, some handlebar risers, maybe a taller screen?

Yes, I used the laminar lip that was designed for the stock shield on my CalSci +4. I doubt that CalSci would recommend using a lip when their design is supposed to be perfect the way it is. It did not work for me (with or without the lip), as I cannot get clean, quiet air while looking over...

Yes, I have tried this combo. My bike came with the stock screen and lip. I bought the CalSci, but was still disappointed with the airflow over the top. With the lip, it does raise the airflow a couple of inches. However, the contour of the lip and the CalSci shield is not exactly the same...

Yikes. Was there a lot more damage than what you had previously mentioned?

TailWalk, You learned quick (like I did and most others) that this forum (and the people on it) is invaluable when it comes to anything FJR-related (and most other things, too). I'm in Oregon, but look forward to seeing that beautiful 08AE!

Yuck. Anyone want the 'lucky' jacket? On sale now at BikeBandit.

What, nobody rides in their underwear? The ride might be a bit more interesting. (I know you all were thinkin it.)

Good move.

Good job, Nitrotate. You are making quick progress. For those who are not yet fully educated, there are actually many home-built reverse trikes out there, along with some plans, kits, and turnkey models. See: https://reversetrike.com/home.html And: https://www.3wheelers.com/enter.html...

+2 for breakfast on Saturday. Driving up from Portland the night before.

We also have the Q2 Teamset, and use it for 2-up and bike-to-bike. Bike-to-bike range pretty much only works while the other bike is in sight. The VOX activation can be problematic, but either unit can initiate an intercom call with a button press. The voice activation can also be disabled. I...

Go buy the tickets online and specify the Bike Bandit special and you will get a $15 gift card from Bike Bandit. I ordered my two tickets separately, one for me and one for my wife, so it turns out I'm actually getting paid to go to the show. I also read that if you fill out a survey on your...

I like that one, too. Thanks for the idea, Howie! Trying to live up to your avatar, eh?

Thanks for the input everyone! I am still going for this: Still open to ideas, but it looks like the bike will be red with a wide black stripe (and thick). The bags will be black with a red accent in place of the rub strip. I want to be able to touch up the bags easily if occasion should...
