    FS 2008 FJR1300 AE Very Clean

    You guys were right! It has been sold, thanks for the years of good advice and after I get settled in Utah, hope to be back with maybe a 2013. My local dealer said it would take months to sell, which is why he didn't want to talk, but thanks to all of you it took hours. Ride safe and see you...

    Rear shock linkage maintenance

    So here are my two cents worth on all of this; I just finished doing my shock arm and swing arm bearings with a little over 20,000 miles on my Gen II bike. First off neither needed it at this time, but as I bought the bike used I wanted a baseline. I was able to use a cutoff wheel for the left...

    Unorthodox...but it worked

    I tried that too and the feeling was deminished but not gone.

    Unorthodox...but it worked

    I have a set of MCL risers on my 08' and was feeling an odd, almost click, not clunk in my left handlebar when going over small bumps, slowly. It was like a metal to metal feel if you know what I mean. At speed and normal driving everything was fine, and no feeling of this on the right...

    Removing Scuff marks on the MCL triple clamp

    I wouldn't use Scratch-X, it is for paint swirls. MCL's risers are bead blasted giving them a satin finish. You may end up with no scratch, but a much shinier area then you desire. I would contact him for advice, but on mine I have not found a good answer to small scratches. I have tried 000...

    Thoughts on first TBS

    The WynPro block off plates look interesting, may be a winter project as it's all buttoned up now and ready for the road. With the rubber nipples not being off since bike was built, they weren't moving very easy, so next time I think the bent needle nose and some gentle upward pressure will be...

    Thoughts on first TBS

    Wife is recovering from serious back surgery so I need to stay close to home for a few weeks, so it was time to do some work on the bike. New plugs and tackling the throttle bodies for the first time. I bought a 2008 used and have put 12,000 miles on it in a year and a half, with a total of...

    clicking or popping felt in bars coming to a stop

    Well it seems like I will quit worrying about it. I have checked and re-checked everything I can think of; the steering head bearings, the discs, calipers, brakes lines for any area they may be hanging up, sanded the rotors and pads.....and it will still occasionally do it. Just, it seems like...

    clicking or popping felt in bars coming to a stop

    Just curious if you were ever able to come up with an answer to the "clicking" issue. I have the same thing, rarely, mostly when making a very hard stop. I have checked and re-checked everything and found nothing amiss. Thinking about some aftermarket rotors, but would rather not shell out the...

    Olympia jacket, Gen II windshield

    I have a Olympia Airglide 2 jacket (XL) with liner (silver) with dark gray liner jacket. It's been worn for 2 seasons not much in the rain and it's never been down on the pavement, (nor thankfully have I while wearing same.) Would like to get $100 and I'll pay shipping in the continental US...

    Recommendations for trade show custom molded earphones

    You might want to try www.earfuze.com. They send you the materials and earbuds to make your own for $40.00! Now I realize they probably don't compare to the $200-$300 dollars ones, but I have had two sets, one in each helmet and they have lasted so far for over a year. The trick is not to use...

    Timonium, MD Motorcycle show

    Well I have a different take on it. Now most of the local dealers, (Bob's BMW, Pete's Cycle, Baltimore Harley Store) come to this show and not go to the DC International show because they feel the crowds are better and the display area is much less expensive. They do have the normal custom bike...

    Ohlins shock install

    Thanks for all the ideas, leaving them alone seems to be the smart way to go. As for "Bustanut", I'm thinking 14 months of little sleep is the least of your issues. Gene
