    Aux Fusebox location

    That's ^^^^ a good idea for a purpose built rally machine. ~G

    Aux Fusebox location

    Rich, take a look at the space inside the fairing rear of the battery. On my '15, I've got a couple electrical items stashed there. It's out of the way and a short run forwards. A three circuit Eastern Beaver solution just might fit. ~G

    2024 FJR with 1,000,000 mile parts bike? In Denver, on Marketplace.

    Looks like a dirty '06. Maybe a few good parts on the cheap! ~G

    Luggage Rack/Plate

    Twisted Throttle carried SW-Motech FJR rack systems a few years ago. Maybe worth a look? ~G

    2014 FJR1300A Broken Fork Damper

    From pic, can't tell if that's the correct tool. You need a 26mm socket to hold the standard fork cartridge. Tool in link looks like one for USD forks. I made one similar for the Ultimate FJR!! 😘 Check your PMs. If you can wait until March, a visit is entirely possible... ~G

    Bike Wont Start

    True, but with a fairly new (2020) FJR, battery is likely still in good condition. Unless of course it's been drained / killed a couple times. Perhaps loose battery connection(s)? Still on the fence with these new fangled Lithium batteries. For those of us who ride into the 30s has the low...

    2024 FJR1300 Announced - No Changes

    Like many of us, Panman has custom suspenders on his FJR. Last year of A model was ‘19. Now, like it or not, stuck with ES with the inherent compromises. ~G

    Bike Wont Start

    ??? RK, did you even read the post I quoted? Completely unrelated question from a couple of no-starts. ~G

    Bike Wont Start

    Are you 100% positive the key was fully in the "on" position? There has been a couple threads with FJRs that crank but not start if key is not fully turned on. I always make sure I positively turn the key to the on position and then wait for fuel pump & dash to finish their routine before...

    2014 FJR1300A Broken Fork Damper

    If you're nice I'll send you my set up, although freight both directions will likely be more than buying. Hex on cartridge is 26mm. If you are friends with a welder, a 26mm 1/2" drive socket welded to a length of 1/2" steel tubing works. Haven't done a lot of searching for fancy factory-made...

    2014 FJR1300A Broken Fork Damper

    Anything available on eBay? Any A model RH fork '13 - '15 will slip right in. For a few more $$$ you could also consider Andrenai cartridges for a fork upgrade. ~G

    Turn signal cancellation mechanism?

    My advice, cancel and cancel often. If you want self-canceling signals there are aftermarket kits that seem to work well. ~G

    2013 no electrical? anyone seen this on gen3?

    Need a few more clues. Any recent work done? How old is the battery? ~G
