    Gel in seats

    I tried gel and found that it's a heat sink in the summer. Gave a whole new meaning to "hot cross buns".

    Any local FJR-geniuses (DFW area) that might help with these damn headlights?!

    Depending on if it was a DIY project, it could be anywhere. It also might be a commercial fuse block from the aftermarket or a complete DIY project like this. https://www.fjr-tips.org/mods/pdb/pdb.html

    1" Rider Blocks for Sale (moved)

    The following was moved to its own thread because it was trying to hijack another sale thread. Gleaming Alloy Air Car, Let me know if you have interest in the 1" riser blocks. I have this set-up along with the HeliBar, tapped with TimeSerts so no nuts protrude that could interfere with the fuel...

    Wrist pain after 3 hours

    Yep. Going from a "flying c" riding position to one of a more forward lean is exactly the symptoms you describe. Work on the sitting technique to get the weight off your hands and arms. That's #1.

    Wrist pain after 3 hours

    I found that moving from a Gold Wing to the FJR had some similar results. The trick is to NOT lean on your wrists but to support your torso with your core and leave your hand/arms/elbows loosey-goosey.

    I'm looking for a diagram showing the "rider triangle" or "motorcycle triangle" for the FJR.

    Would you pay the Dealer or Replace ABS brake lines Yourself?

    I would agree with everyone else. It would depend on your skills and patience. I might tackle it if I wasn't busy doing something else or wanted to save some money (seldom do I save time with DIY because of the "while I'm in here" syndrome). But only with a known/trusted dealer or independent shop.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Youngest and her husband did the turkey(s). Very well btw. I did the smoked chicken breast and loaded hash browns. Banana bread, lots of casseroles, etc. No one went home hungry or without leftovers. Even better was a day with family and grandkids.

    Says New Orleans but IPs show a long time in Washington (state). Maybe the whine rubbed off on him.

    What Do You Wish You Could Transport On Your Bike?

    I rode with a slalom water ski on the back of my Yamaha 650 Special II (bungied to the back seat; perpendicular to the bike) for about 90 miles to the lake. Sporty! But I was more bullet proof in my 20s. Also frequently run to the RenFair with my 6' walking staff bungied to the FJR like a...

    E15 / Unleaded 88 in 2008 FJR1300

    Energy density of corn is less than of petrol. You get less pollution per mile but also fewer miles per gallon. I've always wondered about where the actual break-over point is where you end up polluting more simply as a result of the lower MPG. I'm not comfortable with claiming a 30% increase...

    I know how I feel about redirecting our food production and increasing imports (on both oil and food).

    What Do You Wish You Could Transport On Your Bike?

    I found a new home for my 2013 iMac 27". Old enough that the OS is frozen in time but functionally fine. Heavy and clumsy to move. I don't know how heavy the 24" (?) is.

    Bike Wont Start

    My support for you and your wife. My wife just did her annual follow up with her medical oncologist this week. She is 8 years post-cancer (breast lumpectomy, lymph nodes and a regimen of Anasterzole to purge all estrogen from her system since the cancer is was estrogen-driven). 2 more years to...
