Not an engineer here and don't have the riding experience you guys have. However, I put a k&n in my 1996 Nissan Maxima which at the time had 110k miles. I drove that thing to 300K miles with the engine pulling just as strong the day I sold it from the day I bought it. I put a k&n in my 2001...

+1 Meguiar's. Love the stuff. If you want to "do it right" then here's the program. - Wash bike with either Gold Class wash or Nxt Generation wash. Use warm water and a very soft cotton hand towel or old cotton tee shirt. - Paint should dry before next step. Either air dry or wipe off with old...

Seat reworked by someone local - best comfort farkle. Heli triple clamp - best "take away the buzz" farkle. Fiamm horns & 3M tape - best safety farkle. GPSuspension fork rework and Penske 8983... Forks shipped to GPS tomorrow. I can already say will be the best "make the bike stick like glue"...

You're hilarious. Maybe you should try doing stand up? :) I took my bike to an unpopulated road last year east of Denver. Traveled up and down the road several times to get the layout, potential hazards, etc. Choose a spot with a well-identified landmark to remind me to lay off the throttle...

I put grip puppies on within a few months of buying the bike back in 07. I took them off 2 months ago because I wanted to feel more heat from the oem heated grips. What a shock I had when I went to ride without them for the first time in several years! Like wfooshee said, it was like trying to...

I consider myself an average mechanic at best. I can change the oil, clean out the k&n air filter, sync the throttle bodies, change plugs, lube the drive shaft, change the final gear oil, take the wheels off, and can easily take off all the outer shell fairings and plastic. Next week I'm...

Though I signed up for the group buy last year, the house purchase put everything on hold. So first my apologies to Warchild & GPSuspension. However, I'm still following through on this. I called Ben yesterday and said my forks are being shipped and I would also like the Penske 8983 on the rear...

Thank you Yzerman19! I FINALLY found it!! Eagle

After a long time searching I can't find the ram mount base that goes on the clutch/brake reservoir with the ball in the middle, and replaces the reservoir lid. Cyclegadgets does has a mount but the ball is on the side of the base and doesn't have a flush look. They have everything else needed...

Will this thread ever die?

Dogpile time..... if you really need to take a LOT more stuff than what your bike can SAFELY carry then leave the feej at home and take the cager. One reason why we ride bikes is to minimize the pressure of society that we need a lot of stuff.

Not sure on the torque but use locktite. I have motovation black sliders and one fell off between my house and work. When I called motovation and was a bit embarrassed to order just one the sale person said "let me guess...one fell off and you didn't use locktite.... it happens all the time."

+1 Manic Salamander. Looks great, reduces vibs, and the throttle lock is a cool option which I installed last week.

I got the air mesh kevlar jacket, the air mesh kevlar pant, and kevlar gloves. For the pant I asked Wayne to leave off the big side pockets, no logo on the belt flap, and no reflective striping on the legs - wanted the pant to look as "normal" as possible. I did get the full set of armor in both...

Is it true that many forum members pay for farkles by weekly visits to the local sperm banks?

+1 Shoei X-11 Last night took out the liners and washed them. Cleaned up the visors and applied new electrical tape to block the sun. Ordering the spectra gold visor in a day or two. I firmly believe that full-face, lightweight, and vented is the best way to go.

I'm 6'1" and 190lbs. 90% of the time I park the bike on the center stand. Mount on stand: - Bike currently on side stand. - Stand on the left side. Chest should be directly facing the seat/tank. - Align front wheel with rear. - Place left hand on left handle, and right hand in the hand-hold...

Hard to believe that I rode on the stock seat about 14k miles before having someone locally shave down the seat and add gel pads.

Very excited for you! Congrats! A few suggestions: - Start a physical file for "FJR Receipts". It will quickly see activity. - Call your credit card company and be sure there is a "Ship To" address on the credit card. One of the first farkles I ordered was delayed because I didn't have an...

It's what I have on my baby. I think they are great cuz they are longer then most and the black color doesn't attract attention.
