    FS: Stock windshield 06-12

    For Sale: My stock windshield off my 06. The PO replaced it with a barn door and this came with the bike. I have stored it for several years and am in the process of getting rid of excess stuff. It has a small rub mark halfway up on the high point (of the shield curve) likely from the box during...

    8 hours in the saddle ?

    My very first ride on an FJR was a couple a minutes then I lightened my load by leaving a little cash behind. The next ride was 310 miles. It was the longest ride I had ever taken. When I was 60 or so miles from the end my hind end was sending me a very clear message that we were about done. I...

    Smuggler Fit & Finish

    Mine only rubbed when I hand something (a wire) under one of the feet. Make sure something isn't causing a little tip. Joe

    Would Like Advice on MOTO GP at COTA

    For those attending send me a PM. I live in NW Austin and will be available for a rescue should you need one. Bail money carries some significant processing fees and interest. :) I generally attend the practice day on Friday. That allows me to roam the grounds and even sit in the grandstand...

    Which Cruise Control?

    I have a McCruise and it is the bomb. It does everything that you would expect a cruise to do. The big difference between the Audiovox / Rostra and the McCruise is the throttle connection. The McC uses a single connection to the throttle where the other units add an additional connection to the...

    How's this for low mileage....

    My sticker on my '06 that shows mileage before the recall is right on the inside of the glove box door. The image here doesn't have the camera in the right position - there might be a sticker its hard to tell. It is very clean from the rest of the photos. Priced too high but very clean.

    New Years Resolution

    My oxford grips were all of about $100 I also looked at the OEM version - yeah they must have gold conductors.

    Russell sport seat and Corbin Smuggler?

    I have a RDL and I run with a smuggler. Once the seat is on there are no fitment issues. The wings on the seat can make it a little harder to seat the smuggler - it just requires a firm push. One note to beware in regards to the smuggler. I had a wire from my fuseblock trapped under one of the...

    Got any good ideas to paint helmet ?

    Get a vinyl wrap - if you don't like it after a bit peel it off and you are back where you started.

    New Years Resolution

    I have the Oxford touring grips they are great. I also have gerbing heated gloves and jacket. All that has been stated regarding warm palms but frozen knuckles applies.

    The Cajun Yeti

    Awesome - Now you have more retirement choices. Sometimes I miss living in the great white north - skiing. ice fishing and drinking some schnapps (I do believe that this is out of order). Joe

    Done at the Cigar factory!

    Congrats! I am looking forward to that point in time as well. i just found out that I will be retiring as well. My division is being sold. When the mighty 3M bids me farewell they will retire me at 55. I will still have to work but at least I can start working on my second retirement. Joe

    Some 3D printed gifts

    The material choices available now are really cool and some are strong. We have been using 3D printers at work for a decade. I remember the models in the first few years being very expensive to make and very fragile. The last model i had we put into the field as a production tool to verify. The...

    Highway Pegs for T-Rex Engine Guards

    If you use this type of clamp go to JP Cycles. They carry the clamp for 3/4" bars.

    2018 Ride Planning - Who, Where, When and What

    I bet this adventure could have pants considering a retirement locale in the Colorado / Wyoming / Idaho area. Some feel sorry for our northern members having to park their bikes but once a snowmobile is introduced it is not a sacrifice after all. Pants - enjoy! Get that sucker out on a frozen...

    2018 Ride Planning - Who, Where, When and What

    My employer is in the process of selling our group. They have a buyer. I am part of the human capitol that goes along with the sale. It has been said that they will match our comp and benefits. I am in a holding pattern as I go to work for a new company and a new boss. Cannot make any plans...

    Jewelry for Naomi - Final Under Seat Wiring

    Very nice. I have an Eastern Beaver block in the same location - it doesn't fit as nicely. The terminals on mine enter near the base so it doesn't sit down like this one does. Joe

    Phantom Blue Matte Paint encounter

    That color is growing on me. My first response was hell no. I still don't like the shiny black with the matte blue. A little carbon fiber wrapping would take care of that though. Joe
