I've searched for detailed info on bulb replacement, but can't find just what I need. I pulled off the connector to the H4 bulb on the left side of the FJR. There is no wire latch that I can see, but the bulb base is surrounded by a rubber boot or cover. I suppose I have to remove that cover...

I am looking at Lookout Mountain Road from my office window right now. I've done that road on motorcycles and bicycles, although the more I ride it on motorcycles, the harder it gets on a bicycle! Watch out for sand on that ride! When the cars pull out from the turnoffs, they drag soil and sand...

I can stand guard with your wife over at my house. On second thought, my wife may have something to say about that. :unsure: Ron

My home in Golden is about a 10 minute walk from the Denver West Marriot. If you would like me to take a look at planned rides, whether 1k or just fun day rides, I would be happy to comment on them and make recommendations. I might even be able to point out where the local constabulary likes to...

I subscribe to Bike and TWO magazines, both from the U.K. The mags have remained relatively consistent. They never have cared much for the FJR. The '05 FJR came out at the bottom of a 3 bike shoot-out in both magazines. They found it sluggish handling around town, and even though they criticize...

The Dyno charts I've found on the web show HP varying from 120-131 and the torque from 87-91, both at the wheel. Ron

Frankly, I trust the reviews I get in the U.K. mags like Bike, Ride, and TWO more than any of the USA mags aside from Motorcycle Consumer News. The British and U.K. rider-writers state just what they think and will trash bikes they don't like, even if that brand advertises in the magazine. The...

I'm from Golden, CO, just down the road from you. I have a 2005 that I bought from Excel Motorsports. Excel Yamaha has been purchased by a family and the combined Yamaha, Kawasaki, Victory, etc. dealer moved about a mile east on Colfax on the south side of the street. I can't tell you anything...

Please include one for me. Thanks, Ron

Take a look at the June 2004 Motorcycle Consumer News issue and read about the Stop and Go mushroom plugs. You will find several letters that tell about installing the mushroom plugs, then later find the mushroom part cleaved from the tubular portion. Several people reported that, when they...

What snow in Denver, Bob? I don't remember any snow. :P Ron

There have been several reports of the steel belts shearing the plug from the shaft. I'm trying to remember which sites I saw it on, but in one case, they took off the tire only to find the mushroom part bouncing around inside. The sites may have been the ZRXOA, STN, or here. I prefer the sticky...

You're lucky, skyway! We are having a special sale. If you buy the gatling gun, you get this one for free! Ron

Anti-tailgating tool: Ron :D

I have tracked the CCW laws for several years now so I can follow the reciprocity situation for each state I am going to travel through. When I go through a state with reciprocity with mine (CO), I have my handgun in the tankbag, loaded. When I get to the border of a state that does not...

I'm not the one who has the bicycle rack, but here is a fellow who sells bicycle racks for motorcycles: https://members.aol.com/__121b_oanl1PprabZg...jK1OIh15DF+yLI= I regularly lurk on the site, twowheelnut, but haven't had much time to post. Ride Safe Ron

I started wearing bifocal sunglasses once I hit about 44 years old. Motorcycle Consumer News had a recommendation for an inexpensive pair of bifocal sunglasses with the name brand 'Cheaters.' They are scratch and shatter resistant, 100% UV protection, and come in 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 diopter. With...

I bought her a dual-tone (polymer coated blued slide and nickel frame) CZ 75B in 9 mm. Being in a generous mood, I also bought her 3 boxes of 100 Winchester White Box 9 mm ammo. :clapping: Problem is, she hates guns. So, I'll have to shoot it. ;) Ron

That looks like a great program. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks, Ron
