I've got a friend who has threatened wanting to buy an FJR (or similar). I've sent this along to him. EDIT: What "specs" was the Russell originally built for?

I would recommend swallowing any pride that may be there, sit down with your wife without any distractions (turn off the TV, put down any phones, tablets, etc), and tell her you're sorry for forging ahead with this without discussing it with her first. *AND* (don't say "but"), explain the...

Looks like one side of that table is seriously bringing down the average age of attendees!

That was a looooong time ago

How can his post count = 1, when I see two in this thread alone?!?

This. All that comes to my mind is "why"? They obviously put a lot of effort and money into developing the partial fairing replacement and redesigning the back half of the bike, but it's still going to be a 650lb pig. And shaving off the rear seat (ok, there is a postage stamp of a rear seat...

FYI, I-70 through Glenwood Canyon will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday for rockfall mitigation. Plan accordingly! https://cotrip.org/map.htm#/default?TravelAlertId=238457

May be too late, and probably too far, but I could make some garage space in south Denver for you.

When I moved from Colorado to Tulsa (and back to Colorado only a year later), I used the rear passenger foot peg bracket thingies

Sadly, COSFJR and I have to bow out of this one We're building a house, and it's turning out to be a little more expensive than we were expecting. Need to save every penny.

I also wish I could help, but don't have the room. Another less than ideal option to consider: you could potentially rent out a drive-up storage unit for a few months. They're not entirely inexpensive, looking around here, for an 8x10 or 10x10, it's about $150/month (50% off first month...

EDIT: Tiger_993 said it first...I posted without reading the whole thread first If you're planning to run a top-case, I would strongly recommend just getting the Givi SR357. It replaces that entire piece anyway, and is MUCH stronger.

I wonder if it wouldn't be worth meeting up with HotRodZilla and let him ride your bike to see if there isn't something out of whack with it. I know he's ridden several different FJRs (including mine), so he should have a good sampling to compare against.

Or do a REALLY long fly and ride. Put on 7k miles before going back home

Just to be safe, I'd bleed them all again due to the linked brakes on the FJR

I think I've read that for Gen I/II OEM shocks, they're pretty much done at around 40k (I know mine was). I replaced with a Penske, it was recommended to me to get it rebuilt every 15k (I'm pushing to 20k though)

Anyone with an ES rack up enough miles yet to warrant a rebuild?

Maybe it'd be easier to list the few parts that *are* still original! ...some of the plastic maybe? :P

*smartass* $2.98 minus $1.99 equals 99 cents, not 98 */smartass*
