Geelong Carbon Craft are just round the corner from my office - Phil is a great guy and a true biking enthusist. Not really relevant to your decision, I guess, but I have their carbon fibre tank protectors on my FJR and FZ1, and on my wife's FZ6. Just gratuitously promoting a local Aussie...

Thank you fdor the research and great writeup. helps us to make our choices. BTW - what did the occupants of the building say about you turning their night into day :rolleyes:

Seeing as the tank mod has slowed, how 'bout at least giving us updates on the downstairs theatre remodelling. It WILL keep the thread near the top.

Great discussion and good thoughts. Here are just a few extras: Here (in Australia) I often ride with a personal EPirb in my inner jacket pocket. We have had guys go off a mountain 30 minutes from where I live and not be found until the next day - dead. No guarantee that I will be in any...

Because you probably walked through dog-poop sometime through the day without knowing. Wives know stuff (and I'm not a wife - I just have one). No need for thanks, I'm just happy to help. Now back to scheduled programming. :rolleyes:

You'll find my observations anbd suggestions here: https://www.fjrowners.ws/phpbb2/viewtopic.p...302&start=0 I do suggest the GIVI E55 with colour matched lid. Our riding experience of 3 weeks touring in the 'states is here: https://www.fjrowners.ws/phpbb2/viewtopic.p...259&start=0 You will...

No Eye-dear?

Top and sides. There is a technique to the install (having watched Phil do it on all 3 of my bikes). The protector is stuck down with very strong double sided tape, as used on auto trims. Before removing any backing tape, the tank is cleaned and the protector is positioned and key points are...

And received promptly not long after ordering. Thank you!

Yep - they are great. I have had mine on my bike for nearly 8 years now, and it looks like new (see profile pic). I also have on my FZ1 and my wife's FZ6. Highly recommended.

Our prayers are with her and her family.

@Mike - thanks for telling the story. It's great to hear heart-warmers.

2 ordered. Many thanks.

Great photo essay. Very much appreciated. Some comments: Radiator - beware high pressure water cleaners, and use with caution. Easy to flatten the fins if the pressure is too high, but if you get it right, +1. It's slow, but an appropriate flat-bladed screwdriver is useful for...

Tyler, it sure does me good seeing you posting and making us smile. You might recall (might not, that's OK) that I corresponded with you earlier in the year asking if you would have the facility to store my 'stateside FJR which we (my wife and I) use for 'stateside touring. It was during this...

Ewan McGregor and his buddy Charlie Boorman can have their place in the popular sun, but they don't hold a candle to the guys and girls who have handled the challenges without sponsorship, support crews, rich daddies, etc etc. I'd add Dave Barr to some of the names already mentioned. "Traveling...

Now that the dust has settled, I'll do a 'small' thread sidetrack - not a real hijack. I am looking for a stock triple tree (I bought a used '08 that has a helibar fitted, but I'm one of these guys that prefers the stock position). I can get one reasonably cheaply on eBay, but if anyone wants...

Great bit of video:

Another thanks from someone who has now gone wher he didn't expect to go.

Recently on our 3-week tour of SW USA I had the misfortune to need a new rear tyre. Punctured in Kanab UT (you can read about it here: https://www.fjrowners.ws/phpbb2/viewtopic.p...sc&start=45 ). After repairing the flat 3 times between Kanab and Washington (St George) UT, we arrived at Pro...
