    Center Stand

    I stopped on the way home from Daytona last year to fix a flat. My Harley buddy said what's a center stand? And then marveled that I fixed a tire. I guess he calls AAA.

    Un-Linking Front Brakes on 2nd Gens (and later)

    After riding other bikes that the linked braking sucked, I figured it would have to go on the FJR. I soon found it much better, and liked it for trail braking. A lot of folks don't use back brakes?

    Daytona Bike Week?

    Got back today. Note to self... Read the the meds paperwork before you leave. Severe reaction to alcohol, feel like I have a hole in my stomach. Giving it the weekend to heal. Had my share of loud pipes, most were well behaved. Visited friends in Tampa, ate some killer food.

    Explain this Gen III throttle balance issue? Never seen where you can't adjust the bodies to the first one on the throttle cable. They still have air bleed screws?

    The Best Way To Hold The FJR Upright For Shock & Fork Removal ?

    I made an A Frame out of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" pipe with welded tee's. Looks like a swing set, gives you more room to maneuver around the bike. When done, it un threads for storage. Actually picked up a truck front end. I'm an overkill kind of guy, less worry that way. Saw a bike come off a pipe...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Usual **** around here with a few inches of snow, not going out unless I get an emergency call. These people are no driving SOB's. Might take the KTM out and play around a little. Spent time cleaning my reloading bench, getting ready for the weather to warm up enough for the 1000 yd range.
