Oooh I like that idea. Gene

Ok so I admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the bike, but I bet I'm in good company. I'm just buttoning up the Ohlins shock install on my 2008AE and have a question for those that have done same. What did you do with the (3) studs that held in place the hard/soft dampening device...

You know, I have done it both ways on my 2008AE and I really found that taking off the shift actuator was easier. Remove the shift linkage, take the two bolts out, remove the actuator and there is the air filer cover. IMHO it's just easier then messing with the large wire loom. Gene

Rest of the bike is just a clean FJR with a set of Glenda's. No other striping, but I'm thinking about adding more this fall to the Smuggler. Gene

Thanks for all the comments. For "Scotty" here is the website for the tank pads. https://www.techspec-usa.com/ Gene

Perfect color match, just as everybody said it would be, thanks again Gary. Gene

Will try to get them tonight. I'm the sports photographer for the Baltimore Sun, so the pressure is on, I guess. Gene

IT"S ON MY BIKE :yahoo: Well I picked up the nicely painted Smuggler from my post office this morning at 8:45 and it is now safely on my bike, finally. What the postmaster of my little one window office said is that even though Gary labeled it properly and paid for "Priority Mail", they...

Update: Got an email at 1:12 this morning, they found the package :yahoo: Now they just have to get it to me. They still have yet to resolve how it got to where it is now, but they assured me I will see it by Saturday. It has to go through three more sorting stations before getting to my...

Spoke to a customer service rep from the USPS late this afternoon and was told, "don't panic, we still haven't found it but we're sure it will show up, we just don't know when." Boy that makes me feel so much better. Gene

So I bought a Smuggler from a board member for a good price, he sent it to Gary (Garauld) via FedEX for a proper paint match, so far so good. Gary sent it to me via USPS Priority Mail with tracking. Now it is officially lost by our wonderful postal system, oh goodie. The last they know of it was...

Thanks for the quick reply! Now Glenn can disregard the message I left for him at Clearwater's office today. Gene

I installed the Glenda LED lights on my 2008 FJR, (no problem with the install,) however, while checking everything the lights were pointed to a dark piece of wood. At idle, with the lights at their lowest output, you could see a faint pulsating pattern against the wood from the lights. Increase...

My guess is whomever installed them the first time put the dual-lock fastners to close to the curved section of the headlamp. Put them slightly up from the curves and they will work great. Mine have been on for two year with no issues. You can buy new round dual-locks from Cee-Baileys or just...

I bought and like his reflective strips for my bags, but I've tried to contact him about a product I would like to have made, but no response. I've PM'ed him through this site and emailed him through his website, but nothing. If anybody knows him, you might want to have him check his messages. Gene

Received my pretty new shock today. As I bought this because of the price and will install later in the year once I put some more miles on my bike, I would love to hear from those who are installing it right away. Any tips before I plunge into the fall install would be greatly appreciated...

Have mine on the way as well. Seemed like very nice folks with a good knowledge of the shocks and what I needed. Thanks so much for organizing this, Jeff. Gene

I second the thanks, mine arrived quickly and were easy to install. Gene

Gary, Sent you a PM as well. Gene

No problem. Let me know how much money for a set, plus shipping to Maryland, and I'll get the money off to you. Gene
