I did try one of that style that my friend had. It will hold up the front but my concern was the stability of the stand just sitting with the tire off. When I slightly wiggled the handlebars the bike wobbled a bit and it didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling thinking about the cost to replace the...

FJRocket, I'm sorry I didn't answer before. Here is the short answer. In order for the wheel to come out of the forks, the fender must be removed (4 bolts). If the fender was left on the wheel would have to be approx. 9" off the floor making it very unstable. The photo of the stand with the...

Hi Gang! I did some research for the build cost on the stand and I think I will start to build a few and see how it goes. I'm ordering materials this week and should have at least a couple built by the first weekend in Feb. I also think I will add the option of wheel color to more match the...

That sounds like a GREAT idea. That would guarantee the integrity of the wheel assembly when loaded. :hyper:

Garauld, I have one of your backrests and light mounts. You make #1 top notch Farkels. To get a "Nice Job" from you makes me feel, :evo:

Wow! Thanks for all the niceties!! When I was looking to buy one myself, the best quality stands I could find were going for between $140 and $160. I hadn't thought of making any more than one but, I can certainly put together a cost for Forum members and repost back here this week. :)

I considered the strength of the wheels. For a test, I used my son's "Razor" and rode it myself abusing the limits of the wheels. After that I had no question as to their strength. :D

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you my front fork stand. I had recently been looking for a quality fork stand specifically for the FJR and didn't find what I wanted so, I made one. I hope you find it useful. :rolleyes: The structure is made of 1" x 2" rectangle 304 Stainless Steel (TIG...

I have gotten it at California Sport touring. They sell it about 30% cheaper than Cycle Gear. :)

Hey Old Michael, You made some mighty nice photographizin there! Specially the Cool dude :coolsmiley03: in the yellow. Nice to meet you too! FJR

CHRIS D. I cant thank you enough for this group buy! I was too late on the last one but now, I have the Heli installed and absolutely love it! For me it is the most comfortable farkle so far!! :bike: :clapping: :bike: :bike: :bike: :bike:

Thank you Chris!! Im in. I just placed the order with Jennifer. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Yep, suvlights.com. Sorry about that. See what happens when you don't take your vitamans. :rolleyes:

I like it! It will look great. I have never seen anything like it.

That is a valid point. I think when trying to squeeze more lumens out of the same technology may put more strain on the filament itself but, only time will tell. :glare:

Phillips x-treme +80 bulbs quick review. I just installed and tested the above bulbs from stock and wanted to give some feedback. From day one, the stock bulbs seemed lacking in lumen output. The reflectors seemed like the best I have ever seen as the light spread and the low beam cut off point...

I have a Cortech super-mini and I love it! I looked at the manta as well and still like the super-mini better. The only feature I like better on the manta is the see-thru cell phone pocket. :)

Unique and creative idea :good: Good work! You may just be on to something. Here is my 2.8 cents(due to inflation). 1) How will the paint on the flip-out fairing be affected? 2) Will the outward position of the flip-out fairing be lost? Other than that....it looks like a good idea. Cant...

These are all outstanding suggestions!! Thanks to all :yahoo:

Thank you so much! You have alot of information there. Seems you might have been camping once or twice. I looked for an MEC in this area but, will have to ride about 80mi one way to get there. Ohh..poor me, Ill have to take the bike. I have an REI near me and will give them a look at lunch...
