    New, in headlight, parking/running/euro lights

    OK, so ever since I noticed how the headlights were molded with these sockets set into the corner, I have been wanting to add a pair of lights into them. Wednesday, I finally did so. They are my new running lights, I soldered the park and turn into a single circuit when I converted the turn...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I installed the new, in headlight, daytime running lights/turn signals. They look pretty good and add (IMHO) some really custom cool points. I will take pictures tomorrow and post. If I had known how much trouble it was to remove and re-install the headlight, I would have not done it. Oh...

    Items for the "ideal" FJR Tool Kit

    Tape to hold a cracked or damaged fairing together after a mishap. Metal and Duct. Enough tools to get to the battery if you need to jump it (unless you have jumper studs installed) and tighten loosened terminals.

    No cut frame sliders...

    Thanks Mihalis. Those are exactly what I have on mine now. I just wanted better looking. I REALLY like the way Honda incorporated the "Tipover Wings" into the ST 1300's design. Some factory designs look so cool compared to round sticking out.

    No cut frame sliders...

    Do any of those really cool factory looking sliders exist for us old fashioned gen 1 owners?

    help with magenetic bolt - trans oil - fjr 1300 / 2013

    I bought 12 neodymium magnets and put them on the outside of my oil filter. Helps to trip the lights and catches any steel fragments. The only benefit to the magnetic plug instead is you can inspect the particles when is is out.

    Motus Motorcycle Now In Production

    I like it... cannot afford it. It is great to see an American Sports-tourer. I hope the cool factor keeps them going long enough to come out with version 2.0 and it has shaft drive and ABS. That and mass production makes them more affordable.

    Our MEM - Mary Ellen's Niece Charlotte! HUBBA!

    Carl's Jr burgers are acually pretty good. I really like the 'Teryaki' and 'Western' burgers. The 'All Natural' is one of the rotating new burgers that they have had for years. My favorite was the 'Steakhouse'. It had blue cheese and steak sauce on it. Another was the 'Bourbon' burger. All...

    Valve Checks vs. Adjustment Required Poll

    I do not know which ones were out last time or this time. I should I guess. Perhaps next time I will do it myself. I took it for a ride today. I have been on my friends 01 Concours. It was good to have POWER back on tap.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Got it out of the shop for a valve check and plug change. 5 valves out of spec.

    Valve Checks vs. Adjustment Required Poll

    OK, 44,000 since the last check, where it had 2 out of spec. 139,500 total miles. This time Silver had 5 valves that needed adjustment. Also had them put in new plugs, and a new timing chain. They were all only out by .01 or .02. They also replaced the CCT which was replaced by me at about...

    Converting Gen 2 AE to A engine - is it possible?

    My opinion is the dissenting one in this discussion. It seems to me that you could use the AE shift drum. Granted, this gives you an "all up" shift pattern but that just makes your FJR absolutely unique. At worst, it seems to me that your gear indicator would no longer function with the...

    defeat windshield auto-retract on 2005

    Cut the tape. The plug is a shorting plug and has a wire loop. Cut the loop, run it to a switch, you get the best of both worlds.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Today I drilled out the DRL sockets in my spare headlight assembly and started fitting the LED's I am planning in using. I can't get farther until I get Silver out of the shop (Valve adj. new plugs, new timing chain and a coolant flush) so I can see the clearances in those corners. The...

    Never mind. I still can't get a photo right.

    How much is gas where you live?

    I am SO tompted to go out and buy about 6 55 gallon drums and fill them up to 1/2" then seal them tight. Opening them only when gas hits $4 again.
