I'm not familiar with the trailer you mentioned, I'm guessing a modest cargo trailer with living facilities? Probably 12-16' long? I dunno... A mid-sized, V-6 powered SUV would probably work for short haul, "couple times a year" sort of thing, but it's the overall package of your SUV that...

I don't have any heated clothing, but a friend of mine has had several years of good results with this Aerostich vest, electric heat and air inflatable to insure full contact against your body, and the air chamber itself does provide an insulating layer...

fjrsochs- Welcome! I actually was -THIS- close to purchasing an FJR in 2007, even went home to get my checkbook to write a down payment. That was the same day the 2007 "altitude sickness" problem really hit the forum board (eventual recall took care of that problem), and it stopped me dead in...

As of a couple days ago, there were over 50 firm, positive responses that want a RDL in the group buy. That's great to hear. Get yourself signed up if you can. Like the info that was relayed from Russell, this could be Russell's only GB offer for this year, so sign up if you can.

I never heard from the GL list mod. when I signed up, but it took about 24 hours for my rights to be allowed to the forum, as shown in a box at the bottom left corner of their screen. (Where is was saying that I was or was not permitted to reply to a thread, start a thread, etc.) The next day...

Check out these funky puppies Helibars is coming up with. Reviewed this month in Rider, both in a ride article and as a product review. Out for the Connie 14 right now, FJR coming soon, but about $700, ouch! https://www.helibars.com/product/new-multi-adjustable-handlebars-c14 For the Connie...

Thanks, Joe, for letting me check out your Russell today, I sure appreciate everything I learned about it. Steve.

TCMike- thanks, maybe Sunday or Monday? It looks like we'll be at the state fair on Saturday. I'll PM you in the next day or so, thanks. Matt- thanks for the photos. Doesn't look like anything too crazy was done to your seat. Joe- Friday after work will work for me. I'll see if I can sneak...

I don't think I saw a reference for the forum site Photo.net, a very good "general photography" forum site with sub-forums dedicated to nearly every brand. They also have a "Digital Camera" forum based mainly around compact cameras, click here- https://photo.net/digital-camera-forum/ They also...

Gramps- I'll PM to you maybe next week, thanks! Joe- I'm so close to you, we may as well be neighbors. Just south of you in the next town, in the bottom end of Anoka County. I'll send a PM to you, thanks. First Thursday- heard of it for years, but never gone there... maybe some day.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure about the bike in that photo, thought it could be an FJR all doctored up. With the Pelicans I had on the ol' VStrom, one of the pairs was the Pelican 1430, a top load case of about 16-17 liters capacity. Great daily runner, and even for over-nighters. Lots of riders...

Hello eastern MN and western WI, In the Parts and Accessories section, there is a link to a Russell Day Long group buy at a Goldwing board, so I signed up for that group purchase that will probably happen a bit later this fall. I realize each seat is custom built for its rider, but I'd sure...

Warchild- thanks. I did get a reply back from them, they said bright/light (red and yellow) colors will fade quicker than the darker colors (blue, and per your example, especially the black being very stable). They also mentioned selling a product that helps prevent fade- "We sell Fabric Guard...

Here's the opening statement for that thread at the GL1800 board, https://gl1800riders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291294- I spoke with Kim from Russell Seats today. They will probably do a Group Buy again this year and will limit it to 100 seats (mixed breeds). They want to change the format...

I'm in, tossed my hat in the ring at that group buy. Very much looking forward to the new saddle. Regular price, FJR rider's seat only, $470-590, minus 20%, total sale price $376-472, depending on cover materials. I won't be doing the passenger section, my wife rides so rarely with me...

Just a couple minutes ago I registered at that GL1800riders board so I could get myself on that sign up for the RDL group buy. I'll be on the list as soon as the mod's over there allow me permission to play in their sandbox. This is a very timely, and mucho appreciated, occurrence for me, and...

Something I apparently don't know, but what's special about the FJR battery? The Deltran Bettery Tender Jr. is the same battery "tender" I use, I've had it about 4-5 years now. For long term battery storage (which for me is the winter season, sometime in November - early/mid March, or so), I...

Resurrecting an old thread... Original Poster- any update on the re-dye job? And was your gear kevlar or cordura? Anyone else have any experience with the blue? I'm just not a fan of all-black riding gear. I know Aerostich red fades badly. They used hi-viz yellow for a very short time. I...

I guess this answers some of my question, about material fading. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=128016&st=0&p=729850&hl=motoport&fromsearch=1entry729850
