Welcome to sport touring from San Diego

Pretty ride (rode that North to South last year as part of my Lap of California). But man that road was in bad condition. and being near, but still not at the end of my ride after 10 hours (ended up at Shelter Cove), and not willing to ride under 15mph for long stretches, I didn't enjoy the...

Are you sure you need the whole wheel? And that price is high. And that looks like just the wheel, not a bunch of other needed parts. I got this https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=280483301197 Note that this wheel/tire/rotor is only $150, but does NOT include the ABS sensor...

I just was answering a question from CRMH Eagle about Rifle sizing last night I am 6' 0" with a 32" inseam. I ride with the stock seat in the lower position. I have the Rifle +3" tall +4" wide screen. I ride with the screen almost all the way up and am still looking over the screen as...

I asked PCA about just such a thing a year ago when I got my FJR and was picking up my Givi V46. As I commute to work, and live in SoCal which means I can do that year-round, I was looking for a mount that woudl put the Givi behind, possibly even sideways (ie open to the side, rather than rear)...

I'd rather it be accurate so when I'm cruising along, minding my own business (at a fun pace) and I notice a LEO, I'd like to be know what my speed is and adjust accordingly without having to do any calculations.

Getting used to the m/c will help if you previously handled longer days. Bicycle shorts do work well. Riding a bicycle can do wonders for extending your comfort range on the m/c. Even just using a stationary cycle in the gym for 30 minutes a day a few times a week will accustom your seat...

DaveB You are correct that many factors come into play on a windshield - seat height, torso length, helmet, jacket choice, and personal preference For those researchign / considering a new shield In terms of shields with a flip - I've posted elsewhere on this. I started with a Concours which...

Are there any other differences between an '07 wheel and an '08 wheel other than the ABS sensor ring? If that is the only difference, when changing a rear wheel how hard/easy would it be to move the ABS sensor ring from the wheel coming off to a different wheel going on (ie 2 wheels, only 1 ABS...

Patience paid off $200 (+12 s/h) for new Yamaha kit for Gen II on eBay from a dealer :yahoo: Now to install install it :unsure:

I have an '08 with the Rifle. works great, aesthetics are fine. When the shield is down, the shield does a little more funky than stock sticking its chin out as it does, but once slightly up, looks fine I can send pictures if desired. PM if you want pictures.

Tried to PM to provide you my email address - no worky If that ABS sensor is from an '08 or '09 wheel - I'll take and pay for it. I hear earlier year model parts aren't compatible

+1 for the Rifle

Ok I stood in line But I also watched eBay and low 'n behold found what I'm looking for at what seems to be a very good price I bypassed (been listed for a while and keeps getting reposted) https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=320508086580 - wheel only $270 {for those interested...

For thos that don't know about the photographers on Palomar and their web sites, here you go (oops just saw this was posted on the photo shoot from the ride. sorry) https://jpimagery.com/palomar2010.html - was not on mtn on Sat AM, so no pictures from this ride, just for reference Those of...

When I got 1/2 way thru my Lap of California last summer with 12" of belt showing on the rear, the dealership in Eureka, CA only had the Pilot Power 2CT (not Pilot Road 2) - ie the sport tire, dual compound. I'm well passed the wear bars now, but still have tread. I'm at 810k+ miles and...

I think you have your reply, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I rode the Lost Coast as part of my Lap of California in June of '09 https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=116524 I know I haven't posted pics... ride report... uh no real good excuse.... I do have all the notes and...

I wouldn't let a little gravel scare you aware. just be easy on the throttle and VERY easy on the brakes, and no attempts at quick direction changes. The gravel sections are usually quite short Hwy 1 is just to nice to pass up on. As for 405s - yes - due to longer carpool lanes on than on...

The old adage isn't if but when you will go down. And I don't like to bleed. So - ATGATT I've been down a few times (long ago), including a 40mph highside getting on the freeway. Between bicycles, skateboards, and a couple of MC crashes in my late teens/early twenties, my knees don't look so...

I let my membership lapse many years ago, as I didn't see the value. I've spent the last few yours reading the articles, and following links to a number of other related industry issues/articles/etc (including the GSX-RADD, with pictures of the Yamaha GTS1000) - it has been nice to get the...
