    Do I get a gen 2 or just run the crap outta my '05?

    Just ride the living crap out of the 05. I am still the original owner of an 03 picked up July 02. I have mine set up for LD and have thought about trading. But with having to pay $12000 or so and another $6-8000 to equip it like my 03 I pass each and every year. You can do a lot of riding for...

    Crusie thru Sturgis?

    I grew up in the area and saw my first Sturgis in 1962. Since then it has gotten bigger but more controlled. I have family in Rapid City and frequent Sturgis every two years. I usually ride but my brother has an extra Harley so when I fly in I have a bike to ride. The Black Hills and...

    Double Secret Probation

    I can see why they ran seeing in today's world a guy like that might have taken out a piece and wasted his laptop and everyone else in the coffee shop. Can't be too careful and one never knows.

    Can I Use 75-90 Gear Oil in my 06 Rear End?

    Many of us use Mobil 1 75/90 or the Amsoil. I have used both. I usually change the rear drive every other oil change. Its stays clean after a few changes. I quit using the Yamaha whale gizz after the first bottle. I haven't heard of any rear drive failures from either of the two mentioned above.

    Anyone buy from this guy or gal

    I am just short of amazed that people think they win something on an auction site. You pay for the right to purchase and most of the time you can purchase elsewhere for the same price or lower for the same items. I guess the advertising saying you win must work.

    Saturday, January 3rd Ride

    Yep, the fastest, brightest and showiest of all is still the '03. It was lonely being the only one and still an original owner bought back on July 17. 2002. Never will forget that day. Sure miss the rog/deb's red repaint. And yes there are very few original owners that haven't traded up. If it...

    How many would be interested in an Alsaska Ride in 2010?

    After I bought my K7 Wee there was talk on this forum of an Adventure Tourer ride to Alaska. IIRC only one or two ended up going. I would be in for Alaska in 2010. I agree large groups are hard to coordinate. But I know of groups of 6-8 that have done well. Anyway I am not much of an organizer...

    San Jose, CA Service

    I have used GP Sports, Santa Clara. Did the tick fix on the 03 and some other services when I was too busy to get to them. Haven't been there in two years but they did great work and damaged nothing. Not sure if the same guys are there or not. mike in Fremont, Ca.

    WTB

    Wanted Skyways's aux light brackets for gen I. Looking to mount some self ballasted HID's. Not Soltecs but smaller. Or any bracket that would work with Trailtech or BLM lights.

    Never thought I'd be so unimpressed...

    Before you say you can't hang off a Russell think again. Best seat made for comfort and has never hindered many a FJR rider from hanging over the side. Try it you will like it.

    Woodpecker Joke

    A nice old story with a different twist - will make you appreciate family. My grandmother died in the 50s, but her birthday is coming up, and that always causes me to reminisce. The long walks we used to take to the store in town, the quarters she gave me for meaningless jobs like pulling weeds...

    The best of Tony Bou

    What would something like this cost? Could you find one used. Maybe not this particular brand but something you could play on.

    Worth it to upgrade from 2003 to new model?

    I am still an original owner of my '03 bought in July '02. It has just about everything needed for touring and has the capabilities for LD riding. Including a Tanji cell, full exhaust system with a power commander, electronics, suspension upgrades, heated gear and so many incidentals its hard...
