    I just received some gore-tex, kevlar palmed gloves for my wife from STG - $9.95 + shipping. They were closeouts, 3 business day delivery time. Btw amazing quality for the price. Will certainly do business with them again.

    An IPA For Me

    This thread could make me really blue. It seems as if I have developed an allergy to fermented beverages - beers or wines. But looking on the bright side of things, I can drink Scotch, Irish or rye. Over the past couple of years my favorite Irish is Green Spot, it's very nice with just a...

    Everyone's always talking ATGATT

    Couldn't help myself. Of course it's your decision. No harm intended. Picking up a mesh jacket is a great idea - I just got one for a trip east this late spring/early summer.

    Best Place To Retire Early

    You have to crank your generators in MT? For what you're generating, we just feed hay in one end and horse manure comes out the other...

    Gen 1 won't transition off idle (sometimes)

    Your problem seems very similar to what I went through last year on my 2008.- https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/165555-died-coming-off-idle-3-bars-on-temp-guage/ . I hope you can find a solution cheaper/easier than I did.

    Suzuki DL650 Adventure? Good bike?

    If you get it, choose your tires carefully. I put a set of Michelin Anakee 3s on my Vee. Great road tire - mud, gravel, dirt not so much. But as 900gc said, that v-twin is a sweet engine. Hope you enjoy.

    2016 NFL Playoffs & Superbowl

    This topic needs to be revived. It's the day of reckoning for the teams. Hope it's entertaining. And no matter what, no ill feelings towards Feejer Panther fans. Just finished a La Phroig with cheese and crackers. I'm ready. Go Broncos!

    New Klim Latitude Misano Jacket - XL

    ^^^^^ I was curious if Ray is using Olympia Airglide gear. This is probably the wrong area for this, so I started a thread in Parts and Accessories.

    Just curious, what is this strategy?

    There's nothing like a happy ending. Good find and interesting solution (no pun intended).

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    ^^^^ Envy is a despicable emotion, but I've got it bad.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    No more snow ... please. But I know better. Most of our snow comes in March.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Tomorrow will be the third day in a row that school has been cancelled - teachers and staff can't make it out of their driveways is my guess. I wish we still had kids at home to enjoy it. Used the skid loader to open up our drive, there was 1 to 2-1/2 ft of white stuff.. All of you people in...

    It's NOT preload!

    There's only a couple of ways that the top out spring could affect cornering that I can see. One, on entry to or trail braking into a curve - too long of a top out spring would reduce the the compression stroke of the fork. The other, exiting a curve - too stiff or too short of a spring could...

    gear suggestions

    I just picked up Air Glide jacket and pants for $312 total at Revzilla. Are you happy with them?

    Missfireing

    How is your voltage? Is the rectifier mounted near the shock like a Gen 2? Did you have to disconnect the wiring to get the ride selector out?

    It's NOT preload!

    It seems as if this is dying down a little. Here is a little fuel for the fire. It's Race Tech's page that discusses the relationship of the top out spring to the fork spring preload. There's a spreadsheet link on the page that helps with setting up a new fork spring when there is a soft top...

    Anyone using the GenII/GenIII seat from Seat concepts?

    I can't compare Seat Concepts to the Sargent seat. But the Seat concepts seat is dished & wider than the stock seat. I haven't had a chance to try it on a ride - winter has gotten in the way of riding - I have sat on it and it feels really comfortable. You are sure to get more replies from...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    I'd rather have real winter. Hate mud ... hated working in it, hate riding in it.
