It is always hard to read these reports. Prayers out to family and friends. For some strange reason it's always a surprise to read about an experienced rider's life ending while riding their bike but like many other great rider's before Blair they all knew the risk. And you never know when it's...

Never seen a bike with such touchy fork seals. Leaks are frequent and I don't ride in a dirty environment. I now carry a seal mate at all times and a rag to keep the fork tubes clean. Thought about putting boots on the exposed tubes but just never got around to it. Usually I can just wipe off...

First met Dave at WFO 5 in Reno, NV. Upstanding guy and good American who served our country. Happy Veteran's day Dave and thanks for your service! And thanks for the post Don! pm.

I hope to be there. Remember to check your riding gear with the free gear check-in at the CMA booth on the way in. No hassle and secure. Loads of bikes and fun for sure. pm.

Agree with the many ideas already mentioned. Also worth mentioning is forward pegs with the Kuryakan offset to add space to those pegs. A must for me to use for changing positions for relief of pressure points making for a more comfortable ride. Also for the taller rider is the drop/offset...

I like stories with good endings. The ssk 1000 completion will come. That's icing on the cake. I read some where some manufactures allow a rear tire we use to be plugged up to twice from the inside with up to a half inch mushroom type plug for a permanent fix. This of course will not be done by...

Chiming with the rest that you came out of this in such good shape. Some one up stairs was diffently looking out for you! It's amazing how the brain kicks in to logic mode when you are in such a situation and you feel you are about to be eliminated. Glad your stitch and the side bags worked in...

Congrats on the new purchase and finding the fix to the axel and I'm kind of partial to the blue faster 06 if you know what I mean. Also welcome to the forum where here you'll find a wealth of information on your new bike and many answers to all your maintenance requirements. I would apply some...

Sorry for a late reply. The V-Stream is a great windshield and I use one when the temps drop and the weather turns wet. The V-Stream is considered a "barn door" around here but that is a good thing for protection but not a good idea when it's warm IMO. There are lots of posts here on various...

Lookin good out there in UT! I love FJR in black and yes this bike does get under your skin. Congrats on your ride and welcome and let the farkling begin. PM.

Welcome to the fold Steve. IMO the FJR is the best bike buying decision I've made even with all the recalls and quirks. I'm sure you will enjoy this fine model of super sport touring motorcycle. To me this bike is bullet proof and this is definitely backed up by our good members here that have...

You never know when it's your time. Too many family and friends gone too soon. pm.

On the way to WFO 8, was forced to a make a late start and I hit Redding Ca. At 4:30 in the afternoon. Temp was 118 deg. So when I saw a service station I would pull in and use their water hose to run water down my neck and fill my helmet up. So while riding the air felt great with all the mesh...

Prayers goin your way Tom. Hope you recover soon and it sounds like you got a good team working for you as well. pm.

I don't care what Cycle World says, the 2013 Iron Butt Rally results says the FJR WINS! Oh yea......and so do we!

I once had the back end spin out on same type of street and similar speed while riding my HD SoftTail. Only thing that kept me from going down was when the bike slid out I hung on to the grips and inadvertently gave the bike throttle and caused it to stand back up. No damage but did have to...

I wanna go. Only a leIsurely scenic ride up the Sacto river, then over to Rancho Cordova, CBA style. pm.

If I have to explain you wouldn't understand. pm.

I too just wanted to say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all my fellow FJR dads out there! It is good right now, kicking back watching MotoGP on a 60" in HD. Going to grill up some ribeyes later this afternoon with the family. Life is sweet today. Take care, Painman.

Haven't tried the new Yamaha gel seat but would like to. Early on I redid my stock seat by eliminating all the cheap stock foam and redesigned it. It's now is a cross between a Sargent and a Russell using the stock base. I topped it with a gel material called PudGee and 1/16" foam over that...
