Unless it's a darksider. If there's a car tire on it, then I'm calling it a differential.

I've stayed 2 or 3 times at the Big Horn Motel in Radium. https://www.bighornmotel.ca/ Clean and cheap. MAKE SURE you go to the hot springs in Radium, they are really nice and feel great after a day of riding. Porthill ID crossing is my preferred--it's a breeze and I don't know I've ever...

I don't think this bike is even in the same universe as an FJR. 160hp, chain drive, 4.5 gallon tank, 30mpg, you're looking for a gas station around 100 miles. It's not made for touring, it's made for this --

Gentlemen, my Amsoil post was sarcasm. Those that have ever been subjected to an Amsoil sales pitch will get the ASK ME HOW reference.

Oil threads never go well on this forum, but before the craziness ensues, here are a couple of thoughts. 1. Oil changes are ridiculously easy on this bike. Do them yourself or the dealer is apt to over-tighten the drain plug and cause you more headache than the act itself. 2. I read oil...

Ken, there's an invisible film of Amsoil grease on there. You're good for at least 1,000,000 miles (1,609,344 km). ASK ME HOW.

The few I've done my strategy is to go tank to tank and take a nice 45 min or so break for breakfast or lunch (depending on departure--around 1/2 way done or more) in a sit-down diner somewhere. Here's your no-brainer route...

Jamemess, I'm convinced you've wandered into the wrong forum. Let me direct you back to your intended website: https://www.treehugger.com/cars/55-mph-its-time-to-bring-it-back.html

That's a great deal for someone. I personally think that color is one of the very best for the FJR. I notice your garage is very similar to mine. I also have a honda mower, infiniti G and FJR in there!

James, I live on the other side of Idaho but work for a Boise-based firm and get there a lot. I've never seen any trucks anywhere in Idaho going 80+. The truck speed limit is 70, and they rarely exceed that in my experience. Also, we've had legalized pot all around us (CO, WA, medical in NV...

Good list. I like these for my eyes. Routine at every gas stop: get your receipt, lube your [eye]ballz and lips, ask yourself "why the F am I doing this again??!!!"

I've done a couple. Coincidentally El Paso is my preferred destination, it's just under 1100 miles from my house and a hell of a fun trip down there. Here's my advice. First time I did it I left at 4:00 am. Got down there a little before 9:00 pm and was pretty beat, was racing the sun not...

Holy crap, by "first anniversary touring" I take it they literally lived on the bike for a year straight because they took everything including the kitchen sink it appears...

I got a snowboard with boots to stay on there just fine at 70mph+, so bags should be easy. You might want to get the trunk mount plate for the OEM touring trunk as it gives good points to secure straps and doesn't cost that much.

From the article.... "Did you expect to break the record by such a huge margin? Honestly, I really wanted to break 2800 miles in 24 hours. I think we can do it. However our small budget didn't allow additional tires. I think I maxed out every credit card I have on this one. If a bike...

I do all the time; speed limit on freeways here is 80, so I'm usually set around 86, but without a low-traffic divided road I probably never would.

The simple answer is found in this formula. All the equations derived here got two specific variables, Stitch length and Yarn Count. The two which are mainly responsible for determining parameters like width, stretch, WPI, CPI & GSM. All the equations here are to have a prediction about WPI...

If it's peg related, you could try to find a set of knifemaker floorboards. They are nicely made and are easy to take on and off. (Not my Pic)

I had a riding buddy (Greb on here--moved away ) that is one really good rider, had his FJR and went through a bunch of other bikes before and after getting the FJR. He started on a sport bikes then went way into the HD scene. Then some other bikes, including a sweet KTM Duke he let me ride...

Oh ye of little wisdom.... you underestimated the incredible amount of time I've wasted over the years surfing FJR info...
