    2008 FJR Sidestand Foot Broke Off!

    I've welded a larger foot on mine with no problems. Just be sure to have the bike on a hard level surface with the sidestand on the bike and resting on the new foot when you tack it (with the ground as close to the arc as possible). Alternately, if you get a used one, they are easy to change out.

    The ONE Picture Ride Report

    A little over a month ago I lost the vision in my right eye due to a torn/detached retina. It was treated within a few days but proper vision has been slow coming back. I decided today it was good enough for a ride, so I visited some favorite roads in south central PA on the old Suzook. PA 915...

    Help! - Broken Valve on lower end of Fork Cartridge (Gen II)

    I welded a 3/8" drive socket and a 1/2" drive socket to a piece of square tube and clamp that in my vise. With that I can check both 3/8 and 1/2 wrenches.

    The ONE Picture Ride Report

    Indian Springs WMA today. The redbud is blooming everywhere and the trees are in the light shade of green they have when first leafing out. Spring is finally here and the weather was just right today for riding.
