    My new Wing for LD work...

    A very good deal! At first glance, I assumed he was using a Coyote-Gear filler cap, but now I'm not sure... (If you go with Coyote-gear, stay away from their locking caps.) Is the vent on the back side of the filler neck?

    Auxiliary Cell Design

    The racks are still evolving. It's most important for them to work with my tank. I'm hoping they will work with the 4 gallon JAZ, Coyote Tour Tank, or MotoFizz bag. We will see. It's time to order some sheet aluminum to cut these: [deleted image] (sorry. shared a little too much detail there)...

    Auxiliary Cell Design

    I made a couple of versions of rear seat replacing racks for the GenII a while back. I stopped working on them when I decided to mount the Tag-Along Tank directly. I think this is next: The blue is the Tag-Along The white is the 4 gallon JAZ The red is the GenI tank that will also fit the...

    Anyone use a Tour Tank fuel cell?

    Were you thinking of Smitty's? (now GalaxyBlue's?) <Link> In my humble opinion, the best way to mount a pillion tank to a GenI would be with a set of these: (The Revision2 prototypes) The material cost is extremely low, but there are several machine set-ups. They are fairly expensive...

    Auxiliary Cell Design

    Thanks for the PM. I've been kinda busy lately and haven't been on the forum much. I have three sets of GenI supports started. I just need to cut the contours and they are ready to mount. So, with the two prototypes that makes five racks. I'd love to make five tanks if there is still any...

    Gasoline proof epoxy

    The welds on our two prototype tanks are a little different than on the production tanks. See the bead on the bottom edge: After mine was powder coated, I added the round rubber bumpers shown in the top of the photo. Still, if I ride without my helmet I can hear the baffles buzzing. Also, we...

    We lost a forum member

    This is really sad news. I just told my wife and she said "No Way." Condolences from both of us.

    Who has gone camping on an FJR?

    For me, camping on the FJR is best without a passenger. From another thread: Try not to look too happy when you return to your wife and toddler after a weekend of camping & riding. ;)

    An Old Michael Ride Report

    Judging from his expression, I'd say it's not in his hand...

    You're bleeding & the nearest hospital isn't near at all

    How do you feel about starting with an off the shelf kit and adding to it? The advantage would be the clear labeling. I already know what's in it. What if someone needs to use it on me? (Not that crashes are likely, given my moderate riding style ;) ) I bought a Swift First Aid kit, similar...

    A New Mexico state police officer has been fired after security cameras caught him having *** with a woman on the hood of a car.

    "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... " -George Costanza

    Got a ticket today

    In Minnesota, the traffic cameras are only used for traffic control. Big Brother might not release the recordings to determine guilt in a fender bender. Good advice, but I'm not sure 'beyond a reasonable doubt' is the standard of evidence in this case. You've got the burden of proof on that...

    What Digital Camera to buy?

    My fully automated camera system takes very poor photographs, and most splendiferous memories are replaced when said system ******* at me for not putting all my gear away immediately. "When are you going to clean off this counter?" "You think this is your place to pile up all your ****." "You...

    Russell DL saddle in the Twin Cities MN area

    I'd love nothing more than to attend Hooterville 400. But, at this point it might require a little Divine intervention. If I get my way, I'll be hanging out with you guys in Farmington, MO. And, you'll be helping think of a new forum handle. ;) If I don't get my, you might not be able to...

    A fantastic upgrade for next gen FJR

    <Link> It looks like they only have an "air delivery vest". As soon as they have "air delivery briefs", I might have to take them seriously. ;)

    Russell DL saddle in the Twin Cities MN area

    I've got one too, but you can't see it. J/K If you're South of the cities, Gramps is closer. If you're North, I'm closer. If you'll be at First Thursday, you can see 'em both. But be sure I know to switch seats 'cause I only use the Russell for long trips. The stock seat stays on if I'm in...
