    Has anyone thought of an AE auto-downshift mod?

    AE tip: Don't bother reaching under the horn button to downshift. Flick the forefinger lever forward to downshift, and pull it back to upshift. The amount of hand movement to reach the lever below the horn button is ridiculous.

    Wanted: Top case lock and Olympia Phantom Neon Suit, XL

    I have a Phantom that I am not using. It is as close to new as you'll find. I need to look and see if its an XL or a 2XL. How tall are you, and what do you wear in a suit jacket?

    "Seafoaming" your FJR?

    Not FJR specific, but yesterday I took out my Poulan hedge trimmer and it ran like absolute crap. Would stall when given gas and couldn't reach full revs. I put a little Seafoam in the tank and after about 3/4 of the tank had run through it was back up to full performance. Apples to oranges, I...

    Track Day Prep?

    Thanks for the info gents. I'm all set as to the specifics of what the track is looking for in terms of bike prep and rider gear requirements. My primary question has to do with pulling the fuses for the brake light. I'm unfamiliar with the ABS mojo and don't want to set off any codes, etc.

    Track Day Prep?

    So I used Google and only found this https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=119378 for anything to do with prepping a Feejer for a track day. Got good tire pressure advice, (32 lbs.) about what I was expecting for that part. Tony's Track Days here in New England recommends pulling...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Installed my new-to-me Smuggler that I got on ebay last week. I've never seen one in the flesh in the past. They ARE all that.

    Iris - For real? I feel a little guilty. Just a little.

    Only had to compete with one other bidder and I think It's close to the '08 grey.

    And how about those GOD-DAMNED piano-key crosswalks cities are using now. They are so gol-durned slippery when wet it's amazing we don't go down every time it rains.

    Thanks for the offer George. I have a stocker and a CalSci in reserve. And after calling Rifle they are selling me a replacement screen and a 12 pack of screws for $150 delivered. They answered my question as to availability within 31 minutes of my emailing them at 10 PM Eastern last night...

    Cold weather low side

    1. Done. 2. Analysis done within minutes with a veteran rider co-worker. A simple change of entry point into the turn brought me over the man-hole cover. 3. I always work on my own bike, Parts ordered. 4. I rode it home on the highway with out the windscreen.I think that was soon enough. 5...

    Thanks so much for the sarcasm. The tone of this paragraph is unique among those from other members on this thread. I've manned up and taken the rap for making a very poor decision. What's your point?

    Some manhole covers have a waffle pattern. Not sure it that would have helped me, but this one looks polished it's so smooth.
