Roadhammer here, I have just put on new roadsmarts replacing the old roadsmarts. Loved the tires. After a trip to ca from fla and trips to eastern az and the blueridge and here in fl I had 7574 miles with at least 1500 left on the skins. I like em; they are good int rain and feel up to the...

Roadhammer; thanks for the reply. this is the problem; no abs warning light, just no abs braking. the frt abs brake works fine in the dirt. still confused

Roadhammer here After replacing frt and rear tires with roadsmarts and carefully assembling rear tire as per the FJR TECH article the rear abs function does not work; the rear brake will lock up. there are no abs warning lights. Placing the bike on the center stand and using second gear and...

Roadhammer here, just an update on my mod by Spencer: We just finished a 3100 mile ride from St Petersburg ,Fl to Santa maria, Ca. The ride was very satisfactory. LD riding was comfortable with 400 to 500 mile days. I will give Frank a strong recommedation. This is a seat of the pants...

I got one from westco. they shipped the wrong battery but made amends very quick. The battery was made Vietnam and lasted 6 weeks and would not accept a charge. After calling up and explaining my problem a new battery was sent muy pronto. so far the battery is doing well. will let...

My bride has decided that the rear seat was too much for long hauls and I was ready to try something different on the front. After reading on forum about Spencers I gave him an e-mail for info. Info was concise, to the point and sounded too good to be true. We sent off the seat and got it back...

fwiw, I used the Havoline dex-cool. before filling I completed the FJR "********" as found in FJRTech. I was pleased with the result and I like the idea of a 12 month cycle as a periodic service. The bike seems to run cooler than before and this with La Florida heat. Normally two bars at...

Rest in peace TWN. I didn,t know you but we shared the same birth date and a love of motorcycles. Vita longa, vita brevis. Roadhammer

Boy, that looks great and you lost a fair amount of topside weight. Where did you get it from? I really liked the left side look and I now understand more fully a 4 into 1 system. Thanks to all Roadhammer

Roadhammer and the quest for a simple moisture barrier for the ignition key. The answer is too easy; just go to the spice section of your nearest grocery store and get a spice bottle with a cap with a inside diameter of 29.72 mm. Keep the spice for your beloved and cut the inside threads down...

Roadhammer here. no tickets as yet. I am lucky so far, but then I have a cloaking device

Just received my cat from competition accessories and looked with interest at the TPX radar detector main console. Any of the wizards out there heard of, used the device. It sounds nice but? It would be nice to have your thoughts. Thanks, roadhammer

fwiw, I just put on 021s and have about 120 miles. yes, there is a noise on the front but it seems to abate at higher speeds. The tires are rock steady and work well in the rain.I tried raising the tp to 40/41 still had the road noise. It reminds me of same type of road noise I found on the...

bungee cords can be a bear. My wife and I were riding our 92 R100 out side of Houston at 0400hours and had our jackets bungeed on the rear. They slipped back and down were caught in the rear tire at 70 mph. The rear wheel locked up due to jackets seizing on the monolever, bike skidded /...

Mine is a 2004 with no problems at 20000 miles. Runs quiet. A thought; I would be interested in how many of the tickers were running synthetic oil vs regular oil. The synthetic stuff has a higher capacity to endure heat and possibly wear. Thoughts? regards Roadhammer
