    The kit should provide all pads for one side. You only need 2 kits not 8.

    Good to know, but...

    When I bought my FJR last month the bike had 25,500 miles on it, but no firm service records. With no idea where I stood, I decided the prudent thing to do would be to go ahead and check them. As you know, this job requires a significant amount of disassembly to get to the valve train. As I...

    Removing and Mounting saddle bags

    Removing and remounting the bags on my new-to-me 06 seems to require more effort than I think it should. As I lift or depress the handle the effort required and the final "snap" makes me fear something might break. Is this one of these "they all do that" or do I have a problem? Is there a...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I took my new-to-me fjr out for a twisty road shake down. I'm coming off a 1996 R1100RT. I was very please with the handling on the narrow and twisting road that skirts parts of Zion NP. The RT would handle quite well, but it took more conscious effort to position my body for turns. The...

    New Leftover '07 Ae For Sale $12,500

    Congrats on your 2013. As for the 07, the minute you throw your leg over it and ride it out of the dealer's lot it is a 6 year old used bike worth maybe 50-60% of what you just paid. That is not to say the dealer wouldn't be willing to deal, but having such a ridiculous asking price would be a...

    Left Side Bag, Clutch And Brake Levers, Air Horn

    2007A left bag, no lock, some scratches that look like they came from a non-moving drop. How about $110 shipped to the lower 48? Pretty blue brake and clutch levers. Came off my 2006. How does $50 shipped to lower 48 sound? And finally a Flosser (looks like a Stebel Natilus to me) air...

    WTB Gen 2

    I looked at that one earlier but I'm not interested in many of those add-ons. They are nice, just not my cup of tea.

    Running a AE up a ramp

    I've had lots of experience loading various bikes into my pickup and have utilized the techniques suggested: curved ramp, ditch when available, reduce slope, and even winched a large bike into a trailer. Never did try the helicopter. It is actually quite easy after a few times, even with a...

    Running a AE up a ramp

    I've read lots of posts about ways riders deal with tight turns on their AEs, but couldn't find anything mentioned about trying to run one up a ramp (or a REALLY steep drive). I ocassionally put my motorcycle in the back of the pickup so I can bring along my mountain bike. My preferred method...
