    I broke this piece..

    I had a Yamaha Venture before getting into FJRs. This was before I knew about much maintenance. My Venture never had any splines greased and at 60,000+ miles it sheared the splines after they had rusted and corroded to a very bad stage. I did a lot of riding in the rain so I'm sure that...

    Waterproof gloves

    Oh by the way. I just got the triple digit covers. Going to give them a big test over Memorial day weekend starting on Saturday. Will be in Arkansas with some of the FJR guys. It's supposed to rain every day. GP

    No More Crush Washers?

    Well this thing just had 4,500 miles on it when I bought it. Probably hadn't had but one oil change. The oil I drained was pretty dark. The rear end oil was extremely black with very fine silver in it. Don't know how long it had been since the change. The guy I bought it from hadn't done...

    No More Crush Washers?

    Bought a Low mileage 2012 recently and decided it was time to get the engine and rear end oil changed. When I drained the engine oil I noticed that it had an aluminum washer instead of a crush washer. It was the same for the two bolts on the rear end. Drain bolt had the same washer and so did...

    V Lift Motorcycle Lift

    You can get a lift similar to Warpdrv at Harvbor Freight for $79. Much cheaper and works on my FJR as well as my Harley. GP

    Any Plans for 2015

    Well, I haven't heard anything yet. May have to rattle Turk's cage and see what he thinks. Spring or Fall works for me. GP

    Bridgestone

    I put a set of the 023GTs on my last FJR. Loved them for the less than 1,000 miles I put on them before I totaled it. Phooey! I'm ready to try another set on my new to me 2012 or some of the T30s. GP

    FZ1 OEM mirrors

    You can't go wrong with the OEM FZ1 mirrors. I'm on my 3rd FJR and have put them on each bike. On the Gen 1 bikes the bolt right up and the base is flush with the fairing. On the Gen 2, I had to grind down the metal spacer to get them to ride flush with the fairing. Some here didn't mind the...

    Ah yes, the old Gen I nut roaster.
