    Fork Alignment

    OK, Since I first posted this in September 2009 I have been unable to find any reason for the LEFT PULL. If everyone's FJR pulls left wouldn't that be a manufacturing problem. When I first got the bike, it rode perfectly straight. Does anyone know why they all pull left????

    ECU / Air Pressure Problems with my '04 Feej?

    OK, thanks for posting this! I have an 07 that has a very similar problem. I live at 530 feet above sea level. 3 weeks ago, I started up my bike cold and then it stumbled and died. The engine light came on and I restarted it. After giving it some throttle it was able to keep running and as it...

    travel straps, tie downs

    A couple of days ago, I finished a 2500 mi trip from California, through Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and the Grand Canyon of course! Before my trip I had searched high and low to find the best way to carry my gear. I bought and tested a couple of rack mount luggage bags and returned...

    Holes for summer

    Thank you so much! That is just what I was thinking of. Your right the price is high but, I spend 3hrs a day, every day on my bike so its easy to justify. :rolleyes:

    Holes for summer

    I ride everyday and to work. Most of the time I put my over-pants on first and then the boots because both zippers of the over-pants are broken. I just want to have that feature again.

    Holes for summer

    I have been looking for several months now for a new set of leather pants to replace my Tourmaster Venture air pants. I want to get leather instead of the nylon mesh that now to me looks bad. The two features I want is a full length side zipper because it is getting harder to put on the pants...

    Fork Alignment

    I guess a better question is, is there any way to make a torsional head, fork tube alignment on the axis of the steering stem?

    Fork Alignment

    I have been trying to find information on the FJR front forks and have had no luck. Several months ago, I noticed that my bike wanted to steer to the left slightly. There was not anything definitive or substantial that took place to have caused that. One day I simply noticed that the bike...

    Custom Stainless Steel Fork Stand

    Thank you Sir! This was done at my workplace. Everything we weld is for vacuum purposes so heat concentration is paramount. Any weld with too much heat and excessive puddling can cause unseen heat cracks or fatigue in the material that will go unseen until the welded material is structurally...

    Custom Stainless Steel Fork Stand

    To All, Please hold off sending any payment right now. I completed the first stand and am having some delay in getting materials. I don't want you to have to pay me now and wait unnecessarily to get the stand. I will let you know later as soon as I have this problem resolved. Thank you so...

    Custom Stainless Steel Fork Stand

    Gary "garauld" has posted that he could do the powdercoating for $20 + S&H. If you like, since I dont powdercoat, I can send the completed stand directly to him and see if he will send it directly to you to save time.

    Custom Stainless Steel Fork Stand

    Aah, no BUSTANUT coming your eye for detail is too good! You are exactly correct. The angle was calculated BEFORE I had determined the location of the wheel axis. It was only a couple of degrees but I have since corrected for it. :derisive:
