I find this confusing. I have used a K&N filter in a truck before but I never thought about measuring myself before or after. I have never met Old Michael but I have met FJRay and I really don't want to expose myself to him. He didn't seem like the sort of man who would measure another...

I have been there myself. Pop and I both had commercial fishing licenses and later both had charter captain's licenses. Seemed like every time there was a decent profit something broke on the damned boat on the next trip that cost more than we made. Boats are expensive. Part of the reason...

"Great guy...genuine sweetheart" That must not be the same moderator I was thinking of. The one I know is pretty grouchy! Moved you say? Oh boy, maybe the fun won't end yet!

Sadly, the poor fellow seems to be somewhat "Off". His last rantings over there made even less sense than what he did here. I have no idea what he was trying to say. He was adamant that once I posted in a thread that no one else would post anything...yet there were many, many posts after...

Thanks Fred. The DR650 cush drive is also supported by only one bearing. There is a guy, on ADVRider that will machine the cush hub and install a second bearing. His name is Derek and he runs a business called Motolab. He also provided my carburetor parts and some invaluable advice. Y'all...

Hahaha. lol. You are just a laugh a minute. Actually, that's pretty funny! It just so happens that I am on vacation right now and I have a full beard going. I will have to shave it off tomorrow night but for now I am looking very manly. In a fat, gray, unkempt sort of way. I never dismiss...

DougBug, it is covered in dust right now from just sitting. I have to come clean on this, I am having issues with the cush drive. It's a stupid design really but it has worked for DR650s for many years. But on the newer bikes some dimensions have changed. I get a lot of slack in the cush...

I have no desire to get into a school yard dust up with anyone. I really think the man is mentally off. I didn't want to "run him off" until he pissed me off and now I feel like he may not understand what is happening. I honestly tried to lead him in the right direction over there... I don't...

Our Friend is using a different name on another forum and he hates me over there too. I always find it a bit sketchy when someone uses a completely different "alias" on a similar forum. Almost like they have something to hide. And he is threatening to come to an FJR event and beat me up...

I read and saw the thoughts on buffeting and spacers. What I did was mount it close and test it, I had some spacers ready to go. I had zero buffeting. I could also have mounted it lower but I went as low as I could without covering the Suzuki logo. Of course you know all about windshields...

Good Stuff! My DR hasn't been getting enough use lately but it will get there. I put on a Bajaworx shield from ProCycle and I really like it. Of course you know how windshields and opinions work. I mounted mine as low as possible because I am short and wanted to eliminate the possibility of...

I have been reading a book by Bryan Litz on long range shooting. I have gone from being fairly sure I cannot shoot well to being absolutely sure I cannot shoot well. There aren't many places in my area to stretch a rifle shot anyway.

I have been riding my lawnmower. It has a V-twin Kawasaki engine. Does that count? I have been riding my motorcycle(s) to work and back. Does that count? I just rode around Texas in the truck with my family for a very nice family vacation. Does that count? Soon enough Carver, soon enough...

I am told the package arrived and the mufflers are in decent shape. I hated to ship them without cleaning them first but I was pressed for time and wanted to get them delivered as quickly as possible. This isn't a Love Story and it isn't a Disney Movie but I still hope for a Happy Ending. I...

Nah, not really. I was just glad that everyone wasn't mad at ME this time! According to UPS the package should arrive by End of Day on Friday. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it arrives on time and undamaged.

Just putting it out there... Today I shipped a perfectly unblemished set of mufflers from a 2014 FJR via UPS to La Mesa, CA. I pulled them out of my attic last night, I pulled them individually from the box and set them on the kitchen table to examine them. They were dusty from storage but...

Gen3 the engine has to be running.

This ^^^. I completely, 1000% agree. Well, except that I don't know if I can tolerate your sorry *** for 2 months either so maybe you better not take me with you. Is there ANYONE that does not agree with this? Let me give an Amen. Switzerland... As a 14 year old riding through the Alps on...

I have a beautiful set of almost new stock mufflers from a 2014 that I would be happy to ship to you. Don't know what shipping might cost from Louisiana to California. But you would have to trust me...

Agreed. When I originally responded to this thread I was still stinging from a deal gone sour with my friend WheatonFJR where he was definitely misled and narrowly avoided getting cheated on a bike that was clearly not as represented. In hindsight I wish I had been a little more restrained in...
