    Yamaha OEM Slider Rip-Off

    I bought the new 2017 Yamaha FJR ES and being the good and thoughtful owner I installed the FJR1300 Frame Sliders 1MC-F11D0-V0-00 ($440.00). I was a little doubtful after installing them because after taking all the plastic cowling off to get access to the attachment location and then...

    I have planned a Glaciar NP ride the same time. Might have to combine the two.

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    If you all want a blow by blow of Julie's RR, head over to there and look under "Here I go again." Yes, SW-FOG is included. I must give special thanks to Laverdaguy (Ed) and blufjr (Ken) for their mapping out some of the rides. For Ed being a local does help and scouting out the rides just...

    Here I Go Again...

    Great RR Julie. You have taken us all on your wonderful journey. It was good meeting you in Loveland and wish we had more time to spend.

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    Phil, I couldn't agree more about KSU at 6am being overly ambitious. Breakfast (a must) is served at 6am at the hotel and by the time the troops are rallied, KSU by 7:30 is more reasonable. I'm sticking with it.

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    I could not agree more with you about having lunch on the way down from Mt. Evans. The map I printed out on Google maps indicates from Loveland to Mt. Evans it is 3.2 hrs, so if we leave the hotel 7:30-7:45ish it will put us at the top of Mt. Evans by noon. Take a few pics and grab some fresh...

    I have my so called senior pass but age is a relative number that I am able to take advantage of. I'm sure there are senior NP pass holders in the group, so it could be free entrance for all.

    To the contrary, I am all for the Mt Evans ride. I was just hoping that since you are so familiar with the best route, you might take the lead. If not, maybe blufjr would lead that one too.

    I got the Walden Loop ride penciled in but I'm not sure about the Mt Evans now, therefore you must lead that one since you know it so well now.

    How to add RAM stem mount to 2017 FJR

    The RAM mount folks sure know how to miss lead us with their recommended RAM (RAM-B-342U) stem mount. The Motorcycle Larry nut / ram ball.. you suggested was a slam dunk. Even Grasshopper made short order of it: Screw off, screw on.

    How to add RAM stem mount to 2017 FJR

    Hi Clintster11, I received the following from Dianne Wilkin at motorcyclelarry.com but I personally believe it will fit all 2003 to 2017 FJRs: We make a replacement stem nut to replace the oem. It's drilled & tapped with a 3/8-16 thread to accommodate a Ram-B-236 ball. Check out part # 7001...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    Without getting Laverdaguy's feedback on this yet, my advise is to arrive at the hotel by 7am and KSU at 7:30 which should get us plenty of time to do the ride, do lunch and do photo stops/stretch and make it back in time for a shower and dinner. And for time outside shooting the breeze with a...

    What would a good time for KSU for the rides. Breakfast is from 6-10am. I also checked on access for a hose to wash off the bikes there but they are without a maintenance guy and if the staff aren't too busy, one of them MIGHT try to make it available.

    Laverdaguy, u-da-man. Ever consider working in the hospitality industry. You'd be a perfect fit.
