So I installed and had a great opportunity to try in 107 and 102 degree desert conditions. It is very awesome. I kept it simple and velcroed to an old pillion seat but there are brackets if you want to bolt down. I also used my coaxial heated gear connector to attach the power / ground and...

Well not exactly, but close enough. I rode from ATL to PITT . IBR start. Back to PITT, changed oil. Ran for leg 2 and leg 3 of rally and 2,800 miles home to SOCAL. So in effect same as running rally on one oil change. I want to say 11-12k. I've done hotel pkg lots, Walmart, and Autozone. Hotel...

Hey Bob . I had one made for me on ride in . 215 lbs, 5'11, 32 inseam. It is beautiful with no flaws. $300 shipped but I am leaving it's location tomorrow so let me know

How do we account for the forum and survey bias? Types of people on forums, types of people that respond to surveys, types of people trolling NEPRT. Hmmmm.

The four hornets in tight diamond sounds pretty sweet to me, but perhaps I'm biased.

Strippers and Oysters, just sayin.

Yes I have heard nothing else. I'm not even sure a late model Kawasaki should be considered hopeless, but that's just me. Compare an underpowered Ninja to a 30-40 yr old carbureted disaster. . Hmmm. Like I said no FJR= hopeless :)

Dajuice! Yes I debated DS tire this time for just that reason. You are absolutely right in that 11 days is quite different from 6. Then I thought I'd be sad if there was gravel or dirt of any significance. Love it on DS tire. Finally i decided since Derek did it, I should too!

I wouldn't expect it to be bothersome! I think Darkside tire handles quite well, that isn't the point. It was to bring something to light that isn't talked about too much. I rode for 20 months (45,000 mi) including 13 days of rally competition on DS tire (as far as getting used to it goes). Do...

Hmmm. I think we'll all agree Sportster is not hopeless and also unlikely to win. Tony you too are very far from hopeless, but have the right steed. Hell we even got GS addict Bray on an FJR. Epiphany: any non FJR shall be considered Hopeless. Thanks Prez and Twigg for generous offers!

As you know I've done it the "other" way with evaporative cooling. As mentioned, I had Garauld make me a 2.5 gallon hydration system to store extra ice/water. Every other stop I could buy a bag of ice and gallon of water for Death Valley type riding. I got very good with this stationed at 29...

The quick disconnects cause a few drops of fluid to escape each disconnect. When not connected the fluid stays in the garment and the main unit. For a long ride, I will carry a small bottle of fluid. System fluid level can be seen on main unit sight glass.

I will have delivery of a CTC-100 system this week and hope to get it to the FJR the following week. While a bit pricey ($800 plus cost of capillary clothing), I think this is the way forward, especially for long(er) endurance riding in less than optimal weather...

Scooter & Junior: I got an Exalto from an Amazon guy (would post a link but it appears I got the last one) delivered 3 weeks ago. History: I ran about 25k on an Exalto and switched last year to a Yokohama that was recommended to me (was having trouble finding the Michelin). I ran the BL7 and...

Yup. Thought I'd try something more. . . Subtle?

How much is it?

All I can do is send you more pictures. It is most definitely an FJR wheel and is missing the ABS part. Must be Gen 1 as all others are ABS? Can't beat the price. Ha. I paid $275.00 for it.

Second in line.

I searched through the "Old Classifieds" to at least link Fred W's Pay It Forward Thread. I was the recipient of some cool stuff. I thought I'd start one here. The concept is simple: If there is something you can use that is being offered, contact the giver and sort out the details. Larger...

I have been running the fanned H4 from Cyclops for about 30,000 miles. There is another thread on ADV discussing these lights. I am extremely pleased with the output on multi day rallies running at night when compared to Replacement H4 HIDs. The service is great, the quality very good and I...
