Correction - all you need to know is dual sport riding in Big Bend - the KTM is just fluff.

its worth it just to walk the parking lot at the event and see what others have done to their FJR. Some have every farkle known to man... And more importantly - it gives you an excuse to get on that FJR and ride to someplace you haven't been or would not ride to otherwise!

1) pay off house - done 2) pay off credit cards - done 3) pay off all car payments - done 4) both of us contribute to retirement savings - done and still going 5) get dedicated financial advisor to run 401k at Fidelity - done (and doing quite well) 6) move to location where cost of living...

remind me not to overload my sub-frame.

well, when you get done with this little project and start riding it you will most likely be able to say that you have touched and turned more bolts, screws, nuts and other stuff on your FJR than about 99 percent of the rest of us!

Nice.

'05 FJRs Rule!

Tell us again why you went to all this work when essentially all you did was a fork oil flush and change? Did I miss something?

I'm sure I'm jinxing myself but in 40+ years of riding I have never needed a digital multi-meter while on a ride. Or a spare fuse. Its your bike and you can carry what you want but man, haven't you seen the memo that bikes are way more reliable than ever?
