    My job search is over.

    Congratulations! Welcome to California! Come on down the coast for a visit when you want to get out of the traffic of the Bay area.

    Rear ended at light

    At that, wait 11 months and sue for a sore neck. If it is really sore or course, we would not want to advocate anything illegal here.

    LED running lights - advice please

    I like these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201211343532?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They are DRL's but double as blinkers. They will fit in the running light spot that is molded into the corners of our headlights so will look factory and are relatively bright. If...

    2015 Kawasaki Concours 14 Review

    I think they look pretty good and the new '2007' Concours was the reason I pestered my wife until she gave me permission to get a new motorcycle when I returned from deployment. Well deployment savings plan was too short to justify a new bike and even 2007's were more than cash would buy so I...

    Fuel efficiency of the FJR

    Larger windshields affect mileage a lot. when it warms up do a tankfull after removing the shield completely and you will see a big difference. Bags ake a difference too.

    Linch pin sidecase mod - really necessary?

    I bought used bags because my bike used used and did not come with bags. They had been in a major accident. The locking tab was funky and had probably skipped a tooth. I was not sure of this, it just felt odd. During one spirited crossing of an intersection near home I glanced in the rearview...

    Canada vs USA?

    Judging by the odometers, Canadian FJRs don't run well January through March.

    How much is gas where you live?

    Yeah, but there is a ton of taxes in that price. Granted, that don't make it hurt any less. At least it is good old, pure, unadulterated GASOLINE. Right?

    AMA Report Regarding the Safety of Lane Splitting

    Splitting lanes is one thing... Keeping up with Fairlaner on the freeway is another issue entirely. Funny as he hasn't posted on this one.

    Linkage protection

    That is very cool! Great innovation. Can you show exactly how it is attached? Is it hinged? Thanks for any additional info.

    AMA Report Regarding the Safety of Lane Splitting

    99K signatures needed by Jan 1 1K gathered. Probably not gonna happen. Firm believer in lane sharing here.

    Kawasaki H2...R

    I am in the 'what took so long' camp. I owned a '85 then a 84 Kawasaki 750 Turbo GPz when they were new. It ran a max of 14 pounds of boost. It did have slightly lowered compression and oil jets aimed at the bottom of the pistons. I remember seeing the (then) new Ninja 900 with its water...

    Gen III cat converter removal

    I would recommend removing the cat, the header and the airbox and replace them with a turbocharger. It can be placed in front of the engine or, if insulated enough where the airbox once was. If you limit the boost to about 7 premium should take care of any detonation issues. To maximize any...
