I wanted to share this info with you guys. I decided to use the Michellin PR3 for the rally. I ahd a new set put on just before the start in Seatlle. I rode 10,700 miles in the IBR and approx 2000 home so about 12700-13000 miles on these tires.

The following pics are...
We were told at the riders meeting that the picture of the capitol shoul be similiar to the one printed in the Rally book. Most were taken from close range so I think if you were too far away they might reject it.
I have a 2005 with a Tanji Fuel Cell. My tank is taped for the fitting to the fuel cell.
The problem is when I open the valve to transfer fuel the presure from the Main Tank pushes into the Tanji Fuel Cell and forces fuel out the vent. I can stop it by opening the gas cap on the main tank and...
Well I went ahead and got the J&M CB unit along with some other goodies like tire presure monitor, new Gerbing Heated Gear, Blue Sea fuse block. So I have had the bike in pieces. This is what it looks like as of last night. I will get it together tonight and 9 1/2 weeks should give me plenty of...
Thats it exactlly I am running the IBR2011 and just thought it might save a headache. I have been looking at the other manufacturers but the smarttire always comes up on top so I thought I would check here first, right now I still have time.
I believe we would have to go to the Transportation dept. of each state. I wolud think if they get a normal year snowfall out west there will still be some closed passes. Tioga for instace is one that opens late. There are some passes that only open a few months a year. So it would be wise to do...
What are you adding or changeing this winter to prepare for the Rally.
I am considering a J&M cb unit to help with some of the slabbin time. Other than that rear end grease, oil and tires. I am going to do tires at Matt's.
Smitty did the install and it has gone over 25xxx with out a single issue. I use hetaed gear and grips along with lights and have had no issue's.
So I guess this means I'm ready.
I have a Electrosport Stator that has been installed for at least 30,000 miles so far no trouble at all. I know some have had problems. Is there any way to know? With this much mileage should I say it works and leave it alone? would a visual inspection tell me anything? I am doing the IBR June...
I started long distance riding when I purchased the FJR in 2005. I immediayyly wanted to start doing rallys and in 06 headed out to CA for the cal 24. I was hooked. I have done numerous rallys and IBA rides. Just before the IB5K I did a loop around the lakes to get preped for the 5K.
I have...
I was in California for the Cal-24 back in 06 and the Tioga pass was not open and this was late June the Sonora pass had just opened so Snow will be an issue.
Here in st louis we have Ram Leather care. I had a Joe Rocket lether jacket that required a new zipper and they took care of it. I believe they are in other areas olso so you might do a search for them.
