Heating 100% with wood for last 5 years. When heating oil hit 4$ + per gallon I put in a Napoleon stove. Best thing I ever did! ****** around with cheap saws then bought a used Makita 6421 Home Depot rental saw for $200. It's a Dolmar commercial 64cc saw runs all day long never bogs down built...

Sure can Cav. PM me your address and I"'ll ship it out

Gen 1 left side mirror perfect condition just laying on shelf.

You guys ever figure this out?

Had a 1977 Herculese ISDT 125cc 7 speed. It had a narrow power band and you were wide open or bogging out fouling plugs. Was like having an on off switch for throttle. With 7 gears you were always shifting. Put a Lectron flat slide carb on it a d the bike was 100% better! Don't miss it one bit...

Before i knew any better i put mobil 1 10w-30 energy conserving automotive oil in my new Nighthawk S and sure enough the clutch started slippping above 8k right when the engine started really making power! Been usng Mobil1 15w-50 ever since in everything without any problems

Crunched some numbers today and unfortunately its not in the cards right now. Wifes 2004 Taurus just turned 200k and my roof is 30 years old! Damn priorities suck. I guess i will pickup a good set of soft luggage and rock my 2000 Sprint RS for a couple more years.

Someone please talk me out of it! The wife is gonna kill me but what a friggin deal! Less $$$ than a 2003 was new! It will never happen again! Im so close to pulling the trigger its about 500 miles to Latrobe PA. Hmmm to trailer it or ride it home???

Doc it cant be stopped. Farkle on!

Hey Cav I would de farkle as much as possible. I stripped everything from my 04 and recovered an extra $1000 that I would have lost leaving it all on the bike. It took 6 months to sell my mint 2004 with 28k on it for $4000. Good luck with sale! BTW thats a handsome tank bag

Ill take the 2 stroke supermodel that smokes a little and likes to get dirty!

Yup missing my 04. Currently riding a 2000 Triumph Sprint 955. Its lots of fun actually feels a lot like the Fjr minus about 100lbs. No luggage tho. I will eventually find a used gen 3

Excellent report thanks for sharing

Wow 14 hours and not sold yet!!!!!! Could be a record

All dualsports and enduro bikes are a compromise. Good on the road usually means crappy off road.In the last 15 years i have gone thru 2 DR350's a honda xr650l a DRZ400 and currently run a Husky WR250 two stroke. The best overall to me was probably the DRZ. A little heavy but suspension was...

Man that was fast!!!

I dont post much because i always do a search ( dont want to get yelled at by Iggy!) And find tons of info relating to my concern. This place is a wealth of knowledge. Even tho i sold my fjr this is still my favirite forum and im on it every day. I was able to sell all my accessories here...

Hope it works out for you. The fjr is an amazing machine. I traded my 91 Goldwing 1500 for a low mileage 2004 fjr. The guy said the fjr hurt his neck and the riding position was too laid down on the tank for him. I remember the test ride well. I got out on the open road and cracked the throttle...

On short local rides i really enjoy a bike with no windshield. Tried the fjr without it once and was really impressed how quiet and smooth the airflow was compared to the stock shield. A rifle tuning block solved most of thr turbulence i ssues on my gen 1

Somehow after 25 years if owning nothing but Japanese built dirt and street bikes I now own a 2000 Triumph Sprint RS ans a 2010 Husqvarna wr250. I sold my 2004 fjr about 18 months ago because I wasn't using it much and was second guessing street riding in general. Living in NJ with all the...
