    Welcome! Nice looking bike! I really like that matte blue finish. I thought 2018 was Matte Blue and 2019 was a graphite color??? Nice bike though, enjoy the forum and ride safe! ;)

    FJR Naked Street project

    That's pretty cool! Great job! Kind of like a modern Rat Rod. Almost looks Triumph-esque. I like the look of it you had a great vision. I bet that bad boy is real LOUD! Enjoy and ride safe.

    Front, Rear Rotor Replacement 2006

    DON - IMO stock rotors are fine. The real difference are the pads. Problem is many aftermarket pads will eat the rotors stock or not. AM rotors can handle the more aggressive pads but then work better when hot, cold not so much. I got some great Galfer pads (I loved Galfer products on my Duc)...

    Kingman Street Drags!

    Nice Mark, thanks for posting. The ladies man pose looked nice. Also like the set up, that looked like a lot of fun for everyone. K-rails not so sure, cars can climb those. Glad they had a two wheeler, err... on one wheel. ;)

    Metallic Noise - Timing Chain or Transmission?

    Seems like it's up and running again. Just keep riding it should be all behind you now. Just lots of twisty roads and fun! ;) Ride safe.

    Metallic Noise - Timing Chain or Transmission?

    WOW! What a horrible experience. I'm sorry for the problems you've had: Valves out of spec at 29k (I thought the service interval was 26k so you either didn't do them them at 26k or in 3k they went out? Or 2009 has different interval?); bad CCT; bad cam chain, corrosion on ABS ring taking out...

    YFO 2019 - Sept. 12-14

    I did drop by at about 1pm on September 12th and all camps were empty at the settlement and across the road (some campers camping but no bikes). Not long after that I saw someone south bound on 395 not far from Bridgeport on a newer FJR amber or orange color with a bright yellow helmet. Then saw...

    YFO 2019 - Sept. 12-14

    I will be passing thru Bridgeport (around 1pm-ish) on September 12th, on my way to Reno for the Air Races. I hope to have lunch in Big Pine at Copper Top BBQ then head up the hill. A couple great brew pubs near there. June Lake Brewing @ June Lake and Mountain Rambler in Bishop. Don't drink and...

    Valve Cover Rubber Needed? (Was Oh Crap!)

    Holy smokes Don! Great lessons learned and what to watch for. Glad it all worked out in the end. So many puns there...

    Valve Cover Rubber Needed? (Was Oh Crap!)

    Don; If I remember correctly the CCT should come out even extended. Mine was when I first removed it. Now I don't know if it was all the way extended. You may have to remove the clutch cover for clearance to get it out. It's been a while since I did this (several times BTW for others) I'm not...
