    Well, supposed to be leaving from Houston to San Fran on Friday June 7th, 5pm....two nights in motels on the way. I hope it happens, pm me if you are going to come through this way around that time.

    Kaoko Throttle Lock

    Gosh Darn....I have been trying to find this somewhere for weeks. All dealers are 4weeks out in being able to ship the darn things. Well, if someone has another one they want to sell, pm me.

    Isn't this sad...

    OK, the pillow was a ploy to show off those nice looking Red Rims. I really thought it was going to be a picture of a square couch pillow or something. That big white fluffy bed pillow really rumbled my gut from laughter.

    Does this SCARE you?

    This 3 pic pictorial would make a great poster.

    Old vs new - air filter teardown

    Now that light test is quite revealing. Thanks for that, have not seen that test anywhere before.

    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    That is one of the clearest and straightforward "How To pictorals" seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing. I posted about shifting issues and never thought about the oil. But as I walked into Garage, I saw the last oil I used was the T6 synthetic, I remembered that I got that one, because they...

    Nice Wrap?

    Really like that CF look, seen but not in your face being on the back side.

    2008 won't go into neutral when stopped, shift fine when rolling

    Something I thought about while reading another thread, and the above post. I switched to a synthetic oil the last change awhile back. Normally used Mobil Delvac.... During my travels the bike sits for 10-14 days at a time. I ride couple hundred miles, it sits for weeks, ride and sits...

    2008 won't go into neutral when stopped, shift fine when rolling

    Not necessarily at stop lights all the time; not in traffic at least. There are times when just parked you want the bike in neutral.....

    2008 won't go into neutral when stopped, shift fine when rolling

    Something else that comes to notice. When the bike is in gear and clutch is pulled it usually rolls easily. Now when I do that, it is very difficult to roll. It's probably something around the clutch...perhaps I need to vacuum the system rather than loosen/press bleeding. Need this to...

    Garauld (on this forum)

    Totally agree. Had a bag painted from 04' silver to 08' Black...Very good job!

    2008 won't go into neutral when stopped, shift fine when rolling

    OK, pulled off the shift pivot and greased well, pretty dry. Greased the rod joints as well....what I could get in there. Re-assembled and no change....like would not go from 1 to N , straight to 2nd. So I then, did a bleed on the clutch, since it was right there...Clutch fluid sure was dirty...

    LED Light up your engines!

    LED's, wow been installing them on all my bikes. Joe Florida has some really solid kits with easy instructions. I have installed many kits for some of my cruiser buddies. Actually will be installing some on my wifes' new Vulcan Vaquero she picked up this weekend. For me, it's added safety...

    2008 won't go into neutral when stopped, shift fine when rolling

    Greetings, Still swinging from East Coast to Texas. Well, home for the weekend, riding on a trip. Notice, bike won't go into neutral while stopped at light. Shifts just fine when the bike is rolling. When I attempt to shift, it skips over Neutral goes to first or second. have to really...

    Is Sturgis Worth Seeing? (The Area, not the Rally)

    For sure worth the scenery and roads. We went during the rally. It's crowded but wasn't that hectic. I wish they had closed it off to the cagers for the week. Didn't care for navigating on that Crazy Horse Mtn, to end up having to share a narrow road with a cager going in the opposite...

    New 2013 FJR1300 Owner

    Congrats on your purchase. Another angle. As that you have chosen as i did to start your MC life on a sport touring bike. One difference is I read plenty of material from experienced riders who said exactly what the above mentors have said. So I purchased old, really old sport tourer 1991...
