Very interesting. Thanks for posting. FYI, I own a Gold Wing and an FJR. The FJR is definitely a SuperSport and that's why I love it.

Zat you, Jim? ;)

Really. That's the first I've heard of a busted subframe with the stock rear rack. Good to know! I suppose if the FJR had to have a weak spot, it's good that it's this one and not the final drive! ;)

Great advice. The easiest SS1K is to pick any place that's slightly more than 500 miles from you in a straight line on the interstate, ride there, get a receipt, turn around, ride back. You can get your wife or your buddy to witness you the night before you leave, and the next day after you get...

The key is how the rear luggage rack is mounted to the bike. The stock plastic rack uses a five-point mounting system. Three above the taillight, and two forward. The two forward attachment points, and the arms that connect to them, are what take the force of a load bouncing up and down. That's...

Ambitious R Us. It's all possible if you're willing to leave early enough, and not stop forever at each mountaintop.

I dunno. Not too early. 9? The route as shown is 200 miles, probably 7-8 hrs including hangout time. The problem with Hwy 4 is that it's freeway and I'm aiming for backroads. You don't see it in this map but I think it would be fun to explore Mare Island a bit. Also I like the idea of a through...

And just cuz I like you, here's the Shoe Stump. N39.29418 W117.98647 Now, do I have to go out and ride it for you too?

Here ya go, Don. This was posted today on LDRider. It's the intersection of Guru Rd with the pavement. Follow the dirt road about a half mile and you'll be at the IBA Memorial. N40.678163 W119.361217

Get a Hyperlite. It works.

Superb ride report, Redtail! Loved the photos and your descriptions.

Credit well earned. Thank you very much!! BTW it now starts just fine off the battery, including cold this morning. For some reason it needed hella power to start after not running awhile. It's nice to be back on the Feejer.

+1.

I just looked up my records. It is a Westco, close to three years old. I would expect a longer life than that. And yes, it's a relief to be running. Not sure if a ride is in the cards for me today, it's a family holiday. But we'll see if she starts tomorrow without a jump, now that the system...

She runs! I jumped it off the car battery. I have a voltmeter on the bike, it always read good values, but maybe it doesn't have enough cold cranking amps? The battery isn't too very old, have to go check my records. No diagnostic codes of interest except possibly 09 which read 11.8 and should...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

No, dammit. Tried again today, 15 seconds WFO. That was good for about 3 tries and then the battery was gone. It's back on the charger. I eyeballed the sidestand switch, the plunger is working correctly. What next?

Took awhile for the FD repair. I've been riding every day on that OTHER bike.

Last time I rode it was the trip home from SLC after the Utah 1088. Then I parked it for two months while I dealt with a leaky final drive. Now the FD is repaired and I want to give 'er a test ride and she won't start! Fuel, check. Battery, check. It cranks but won't fire. I tried the wide open...
