Dave, I heard from the person who lives in Key West, here is his first reply: "I'll get some names and locations of hotels that hopefully fit your needs in Key West. Some of the newer facilities have large units with 2 bed rooms and a sleeper complete with 2 bath, living room, and kitchen...

The last two times we were in the area (not including NAFO Knoxville) we stayed in Asheville at an excellent (motorcycle friendly) B & B called the "Bent Creek Lodge". It's right next to the BRP (EZ on & off) and is near all the roads you mentioned you want to ride. We did all those roads and...

Dave, You may want to rethink staying at this hotel. It and the one next to it have have some of worst ratings in Key West. While some people will never be happy, the majority staying there and at the Lexington had nothing good to say. Most felt it was dirty, old, smelled old and stuff didn't...

The hydraulic hoses would be the ones for the brake and clutch lines. I bought some Spiegler SS lines a few years back through a group buy here on the forum and never got around to putting them on. I recall that the ABS changeover can be difficult and the clutch line damn near impossible. Was...

I have 2 Road Stars for my cruzin, as a mater of fact I did the dragon on one of them a few years back, I'm not knocking the cruisers just saying its fun of a differnt kind. Jim, did you change the hydraulic hoses on your FJR, I think I'm going to need some help doing mine. Tim

I should be able to make this ride. I'll probably ride down to W.Palm Beach on Friday and spend the evening with my sister and then meet up with the group from there (with Tony). Would like to take some "nice" back roads on the way back, all the ones up north (Jax/St Augustine) seem to be long...

Bob, Funds received, not a problem... better late than never. Thanks Tim

Alan, Thanks for the links; they were quite helpful and confirm what I "thought" I needed to do. Tim

Fred, Thanks for the reply, My plan is to tape off the plastic and then drill a 1/8 hole to check the alignmnet before going to the big drill, looks like this is probably the best way. Tim

I'm ready to install the OEM trunk attachment plate and I see that I must drill into the plastic so that the two forward mounting plate bolts line up with and attach to the sub-frame (under the plastic). Any tips on how to make sure I'm drilling in the right spot on the plastic (centered over...

Left with the other Florida guys (Mark, Dave, & Tony)at 6:22 AM, damn we made good time even in all that rain. Just when we thought we were out of it and took off some of our rain gear we hit the heavest down pour of the entire trip. At least the last 2 hours were dry, & I was almost dry by the...

Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with this update (key not working). Ck out Amazon reviews.

Just moved (and retired) to FL thanks to my employer selling me out. What can I expect to pay in Fl for Ins? I live just south of Jacksonville. TKs Tim

I have had no trouble with mine in over 30,000 miles. Hope this helps. Thanks for your reply, very helpful. Tim

Hum, it appears no one has experience installing bungee buddies?

Those of you that have put bungee buddies on their side cases, where did you put them? Was the double wall on the cases a problem? Thanks, Tim

Didn't make it to Roanoke. Too much wear. Had them replaced in Asheville today at MR Cycle. They did a great job while I waited. Thanks for the reply. Tim

In Roanoke. Need rear tire. Prefer Michelin PR2. Where's the best place to buy & have it installed - as soon as possible? On road trip there. Thanks, Tim

Good price, How much was shipping? ($12 or $17?) $11 to central Illinois Ordered one from Chrome World also. I was tempted by the one on ebay for $68-$78, new but with a scratch. Hard to tell from the picture the overall condition since it was a return. Thanks for the lead. Tim
