    So I Think I'm About To Know A Dead Guy

    Great post, Ari. That's a hell of a dilemma and one that I've encountered in the past myself. I don't know that I have a whole lot more to add to whats already been said, except for maybe When you discuss the subject with him, remain calm and collected. As soon as you start ranting and raving...

    lower cost internal ballast H.I.D. lights

    HEY, THEY CATER TO THE BMW CROWD!!! Oh, sorry. Just read the rest of your post, DC. Seriously, though, I appreciate the heads up on the less-expensive idea......and REALLY appreciate the input of Warchild, bramfrank and Grumpy. I've been eyeballing the Hella Micro DE Xenons, and praying that I...

    Why is the value of the FJR....

    Buy ANY bike new, ride it for less than a year then try and sell it and YES, you're going to take a huge hit. That phenomenon is not exclusive to the FJR. No different than a new car: the second you drive it off the lot the depreciation hit is staggering....and that's in a healthy economy, which...

    Oil changed!

    I KNEW it was that easy. Every day, when I leave for work, I tell my dog "Hey, in between naps today change the oil in my bike" and every day, when I come home, she gives me the same response, "I didn't change your oil. It was too hard!". That lying *****!!

    Advice for the pillion?

    ...and for good reason, Barry. Because it's a Basic Rider Course, carrying a passenger isn't taught or encouraged. I personally tell new riders not to even think about taking on a passenger before they've had at least a year of riding experience AND have ridden several thousand miles, including...

    Good Price for '03?

    The asking price is a bit on the high side; not completely outragious (IMHO) bacause miles are ridiculously low. I sold my '03 last summer. It had close to 20k miles on it and I had brought it back very close to stock. I sold it for $6500. I would think that the bike you're looking at should...

    Power Commander?

    I'd call Jeff at HP Cycles in Lake City, FL. He's taken VERY good care of us on past group buys for PCIII's. Don't know if you can get the $269 (delivered)....$274 for you left coasters....price he offered on the GB, but he'll definitely be competitive. Tell him you're a member of the FJR...

    Caption time

    As Fairlaner shut off and dismounted his motorcycle, the only sounds where the whir of a helicopter hovering overhead and the distant screams of dozens of approaching law enforcement officers. He casually reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. As the long line of...

    Full system exhaust

    Probably neither can the folks at Muzzys or Holeshot Performance. Good thing that didn't stop 'em :glare: Are you looking for the weight of a "cat-less" stock header? I know there's a pretty significant difference between the weight of the stock headers and the Holeshots. It would be...

    Full system exhaust

    Dude, you HAVE to further explain how the smaller diameter, more restrictive, stock exhaust system affords more flow capability than the larger diameter Holeshot system simply because it incorporates a crossover pipe.....especially at low-to-moderate rpms?!?! I don't know what kind of...

    Full system exhaust

    I have a wild idea: how about we show bryguy322 a little respect for his original post and keep this thread on track rather than hijack it and make it a debate over "loud pipes". There's plenty of room in the NEPRT section to start a new thread about something as subjective as that! That's a...

    Replacing exhaust

    First of all, I'm glad you weren't hurt. Having said that, I believe the ****** who hit you should pay dearly. I'd see if....at a minimum....they (or their insurance co.) will cut you a check for all new STOCK replacement parts that were damaged. That way, whether you decide to return to stock...
