    Waterproof Gloves

    I use my summer weight gloves with nitrile gloves as an outer covering. These have kept my hands dry in downpours for the last 10 years. Hand perspiration is not an issue for me, but I wore latex or nitrile gloves for hours on end on a daily basis for more than 35 years so I am quite used to them.

    Fork problem

    Road test report:  After some slow speed manouvers for about 20 minutes, some 70-90kph on back roads for about 20 minutes, higher-speed runs of 120 kph and circling some roundabouts (6 times), I can say that the forks feel great, better than at the end of last season. So, I can recommend B2...

    Fork problem

    Got the forks back on Feb 25. That was about a 3 week turn-around time for a "fork rebuild" (new seals and fork oil according to the invoice). Total cost was $388.55CAN. It is still winter here in NB, Canada, so I have not yet road-tested the work.

    Fork problem

    B2 Suspensions: 2650 Route 106, Boundary Creek, NB. That's near Salisbury. The owner is Lorne Banks. 506-380-2265. At this point, I can't make any comment on the work he does. I spoke with the Lorne. All I can say for now is that he seemed like a reasonable and knowledgeable fellow and his shop...

    Fork problem

    Last week, I pulled the forks on my "new-to-me" 2007 FJR1300A to do a fork oil change. The previous owner had probably not ever done that service as the oil that I dumped out was grey and smelled foul. When I pumped the damper rod after filling the fork with new oil all went well. I then pumped...

    So the recalls were....front wheel bearings, fork seals and ? The fellow I purchased the bike from was the second owner and had obviously not done much more than wash the bike and change the engine oil. I did develop a leaky fork seal about 2 weeks after purchase. I temporarily fixed that using...
