Nice report and congratulations on a gret bike! V RPK

Wfooshee, you're HILARIOUS! V RPK

Much like Leghorn, so did I the installation of my G9 mount, I too didn't bother routing the wire through the crown of the helmet, because I didn't want to mess up my liner. I don't need a FM radio reception, yet have tried it, just to see if my G9 gets me all it promises. What I found very...

That's gotta hurt......I hope he's okay, look quite brutal

I went on to eBay and got the whole set, fairing, sides for the panniers, rear of it and top case, boy I'm lit up like a Christmas tree, I also plan to install a break light license plate frame for the last piece of added visibility. I searched at eBay for FJR reflective and got a few listing...

I understand you, cabin feet can get the best of you. Yet we have to add the temps true of at lest 3 towns together to come to high 70's.... My street, and subsequently backyard didn't see any sunlight because of the 100' towering evergreen trees which surround our neighborhood...so street 'n...

Very interesting article, yet being employed with the corporate world brings just a well known memory up. There you have a corporate actuary, and there you have the never ending hunger (well, greed) of the corporate execs to siphon the profits to accommodate bonuses and justify unneeded...

Well the FJR is for me all I want from a bike. Though I've got me still a cruiser (Suzuki C90T) and a crotch rocket (Suzuki GSX R750), those two bikes are special and single purpose bikes. Coming back to the FJR, it surely is a street bike and I would have a hard time thinking of going pure off...

Well I've chosen the stem mount on a RAM holding my Garmin 1490 LMT. I did chose this location, because I don't want a distraction in my line of sight, and since my Armin talks to me minimizes the look away from traffic matter. You could also get a dash shelf and position it center. On a side...

Hey Wayne, I'll ping my son, he's a web guy and is messing with that crap for a living (I told him, if IT, don't be as stupid as your old man (me :) ) and join IT infrastructure operations) he can tell ya a thing or two eventually. Take care Volker RPK

Your '07 is due for a fork redo. I had a similar problem and mine is in the same ages and mileage than yours. You will have to replace the seals, bushings and what not. Since the fork job was due on my FeeJay and went ahead and ordered my a fork upgrade from KFG Racing.... V RPK

I went back and checked my invoice from KFG Racing, the fork serviced (needed to be done anyway, as my FeeJay was at the 16K miles service) and the GP Kit (Rebound and Compression Kit, 1ea) and Oehlins springs (25.5/260/11/0), ran up about $700. V RPK

Well Escapefjrtist said already what I was about to say. Biggest issue should be, what do you want to spend! I've got the KFG/GP upgrade which consist of the GP cartridge on Oehlins springs, a great set up and I'm very happy with it! V RPK

Chinook pass if its open is a beautiful run as well! We're running from Olympia to Billings, from there up north to Calgary and Edmonton via 100 mile house back to Vancouver. Meaning you could go south loop of Mt Rainier, hit Tri Cities, Walla Walla, trying to hit Lolo and than via Billings to...

Right on, I ordered me a classic 1.5" diameter analog voltmeter .... I will need to cut though :( , yet got me from extrememmarine a donor piece for cheap....so if I am focking up, I'm good for another try :) . V RPK

Me to!

Auburn, Thanks a lot for the response! V RPK

Hey Auburn, Thanks for this great report. Wow what a surprise that must haven been, I think a good call to make that an annual maintenance point! Q though? Would you think that the 20k maintenance cycle on the shock might be a tad too long? According, or for what I know, as !'m sorta fresh in...

No worries JMDaniel, it was meant more to be on the lighter side. I got my Smuggler and the Yamaha Trunk off of eBay for about the same, turned out that SpeedyG here from WA and I been fighting for the smuggler on that bid, was too funny to find this out on our last meet. I ended up paying $485...

Hey Jmdaniel, Glad we live like 2k miles apart, I almost did say, WTF, what's my bike doing in da sun? LOL, sun here in WA at this time is a rarity...yet like you, wife rides her own ride, so I've got me the smuggler and all the fancy goodies, much like your bike is having, I only have the ZR1...
