What I ment to imply was, along with wrong way to install the lock screws, the dealer could also install the rubber baby buggy bumpers wrong. Check um both! This Disney World thing with my kids is killing me! Later,,,De Check out me on left & my son on right below...

Thought I was old when I bought my new '04 FJR in 9/03 but now I know I am old, since I was 75 when I bought my new '13 FJR on 1/31/13. Hey, & I'm still learning! Later, Real old guy-De

It may be because I went from Gen1 to a Gen3 but I didn’t know there was a difference with the side case lower black rubber locating cushion outer dimensions between Gen1 and Gen3. It probably started with a change with the Gen2 because (I think) that is when the side case lower mount bracket...

Never had a problem w/my GL1500 Wing which had an 80mph limit, but my area big roads had a max 75mph limit. However, a fix was found that corrected that. If I remember, they fooled the computer by telling it that the bike was in 4th gear when it was actually in 5th. The overdrive 5th gear lite...

Glad to be back. Been waiting for something better (different) than my '04. Picked up a '94 K1100LT a few months ago w/heated grips. The heated grips, cruse, ABS & dual modes swayed me for another FJR. I just quadrupled the miles on it today. Easy when it only had 24mi. By the way, I aint goona...

Well I don’t mind getting thru all this BS (what the hell, it’s free entertainment) but I bought my 2013 #41 in Memphis for $13,917.88+TT&L on 1/31/2013. My TT&L when I got back to Hotlanta was $858.07. the Fenda Extenda was $39.99 & the flap was $8.01. That’s it-NO MORE! Later, De

O K guys and gals, I can’t wait any longer to jump in here. Had my ’04 since 9/03 and my new FJR for a week or so & have read most all posts since late last year. The new one was $13917.88 + TT&L. It is # 41 –no wait; now you can find out all about me. Hang on & I’ll get back to this thread in a...

Well, I didn't drop it with it on the side stand cause it's always in 1st gear when I turn it off. It is a little more trouble when I want to put it on the centerstand but it is worth it. Last year I left Nashville in 28 degrees and rode 2 hours before stopping but that wasn't the cause of the...

LAF, on your parts list, I didn't see the bearing spacer (about $15) that keeps the inner races seperated corectly. You maybe are planning on useing the old one, which is O K. When pressing in the second bearing (you do press against the outer race, right?) make sure that you can turn the...

Yep, Just walking in & buying one off the floor takes all the anticipation out of it. Back when I put my $500 down for my ’04, in April of ‘03, I had all the way until October till it came in. I had all those months; thinking about it, rubbing it, holding it tite, talking to the guys & gals here...

Pat, easy enough. It just snaps on so using a hard piece of wood & hammer, place the wood against the bottom of the cover and hammer up on the wood & it'll pop right up. Looks like you are going to install new fork seals (your next post) so after removing the plastic covers on my '04, in '04 (no...

Thanks, guys. I did it so long ago I just forgot. The dang thing is so dependable, I just ride it. Oh yea, I did wash it once or twice but that was also so long ago, I have forgotten how to do that too. Guess I've gotta start frequenting this board, like I used to back when! ScooterG-you still...

Yep, I replaced a front signal lamp on my '04 but it has been so long ago I forgot how. That's the problem with having an almost perfect, maintenance free bike, along with being old and forgetful. Yes, along with others I ripped everything out behind the engine, to inspect for greased splines...

Dang, rushes---That's the best idea of why they are this way I've seen. I, like most thought they were put on before the mufflers but you just may have it. Who would have thought! I did remove mine by just springing the mufflers down a little & then by putting a washer under the bolt head &...

Yep, I walk my bikes forward, under power (slip the clutch), & when it's there, hit the kill switch & then hold it streight w/right hand, on left handlebar & tighten tire vise w/left hand. It's easy even with the heavest bikes but it takes practice. Even with it tite, I still strap them down...

A+ on the center stand & lifting the front off the ground with a 2X4 under the headers and any old type of auto scissors jack or roll around hydraulic jack. You only have to lift it up untill the rear tire touches the ground, so not much lifting pressure. You really don't have to have any jack...

Well it finally happened to me last week in the middle of a 900+mi round trip to Memphis & back to Hotlanta. Checked my tires before I left & rear BT021 was almost (1/32") down to wear bar. Plenty of tire (3/32" tread) for my slow accel & high speed type of riding. Hmmm, not quite. Before a...

2wheeldrift, glad you got them off. Here's how I used the old ones to get even better protection when installing my Superbrace. The brace came with its chrome protectors in our '04 group buy. I used blue threadlocker on all screws. I glued & screwed w/nut, the vertical piece of the old protector...

This comes up, from time to time. All of the above & this from a previous post....De Front end wobble. Guys & gals, all of them do it, some just less than others. Cycles steer straight by the front tire swinging to the left & then self correcting to the right and so on. It’s the same thing in a...
