OK this almost seems like baiting, but I guess I am taking it. If it did indeed happen like the story says, find the ******* squids and kick thier *****. You don't mess with someone and then laugh at the accident and a potentially serious injuriy. We don't need this kind of representation of...

Though I never have had my bags fly off (yet) I am considering adding spring loaded t-handle lock pins to my bags. see pic below. https://www.grainger.com/Grainger/T-Handle-...JCX4?Pid=search Add a short keeper cable and the removal would be easy. Then again, the safety pin that is shown on...

Welcome EasyE. You are a wise man indeed. I admire the BMWs but I have an FJR. I trust it, even though it has let me down. I have an '06 that had the total ignition switch failure. But I still consider it very reliable. And from the historical evidence I feel it is a correct assesment. It...

Ah yes, a 2006, a great choice! But then, there isn't a bad choice as far as FJRs go. You'll soon remember your Fazer as fun, but just not as nice as your feej. Please post up a ride report with pics here so that we can see where you go. I always thought that was a great color for an FJR...

Oh wouldn't it be nice if we could all be there (just not all at the same time)....but this is the next best thing. Put me in the "keep 'em coming" grooup on these reports. And I'll go back to work tomorrow wondering where my priorities are... mr.paul

I think the GenII bike is the way to go. Why not get the better air management and adjustable seat/handlebars, plus the rest? Unless you find an incredibly fantastic price on the '05, the '06 is the way to go. not that I would be biased or anything. mr.paul from Minnesota, loving his '06 FJR

Thanks for the topic. I too run the CPAP to "keep momma happy" as da wife can't sleep with me "singing" in her ear. Mostly it was the frustration she had knowing there was something I could do about it but not doing it. I may look into the battery powered Everest unit mentioned here. It...

Wait a minute, it turns into a jet? My Blackberry won't do that! I want one! mr.paul, chuckling

Go Brodie! Yeah, you showed us all what you got! I will admit, you are the tougher man. So there, that is settled. Now go home and find out how bad daytime TV really is! mr.paul, from Minnesota

I am the guy that "always" rides to work anyway, too. Funny though, today is a day off. Also, it is raining, so I am guessing no one at work will ride. Many of them don't "want" to spend 6 hours cleaning up thier chrome if they are caught in the rain. There are a few that ride weather...

I am in the "wait and the name will come to you" camp. Nothing wrong with naming something that so intimately and excitedly spends that much time between your legs. I agree also, that you don't have to call it Shirley. mr.paul

I'm just a ways northwest of you. Trying hard to hold the rain back. Let me know when I can let go! (those weather people are always so full of hype) Go feejers! mr.paul

Don't forget to post pics soon for those of us having to "ride" vicariously. I really wasn't too worried you'd forget. And your right! There can never be too much Hi Viz! Hope you sleep through the rain and find cleaned off roads after! mr.paul

Rick, it looks like you are doing a great job! I can't make it this year (step-daughter's graduation extravaganza) but you all have a great and fabulous weekend! The riding there is great and the company even greater! Wish I was there with you! mr.paul, in Apple Valley

OK, only took me a second. Try looking here https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...+bearing+wrench and see if that is what you are looking for. mr.paul

Search around on here some more. If you are talking about the wrench that tightens the nuts below the triple, there is a member here that made some mighty fine ones that work with the 36mm socket you took the top nut off with. I am forgetting the name right now so you will just have to search...

Were you at Big Boys Toys on 89? A while back I was in Utah for work and was going up 89 from Ogden back to Tremonton when I saw a cycle dealer. Well, I had to stop in you know... Turned out to be a Victory dealer as well as Kawi and Suzi I think. I was looking at the Victory's and they did...

Get the bike! Only one problem. The blue ones are faster. The black ones just get dirty faster. But yours has clean bags! no boot marks yet. How cool! I say that you shouldn't worry about a few hundred bucks. Get 'er done. Easy to say when it isn't your own checkbook, but you will likely...

Cool! Nothing like an oil thread. Why can't I resist? Your oil is better than you think. We change regularly to prevent needless long term wear. One skipped oil change makes relatively small difference over the life of the bike. As long as it is a quality oil, you are just fine. I change...

Cool. Anyone that (like me) got Brodie's ignition relay fix, knows the man can build! Put me on your list. I have yet to look at mine, but I did see the gauges do the funky dance once in North Carolina last year. I suppose I should be prying and poking. But it runs great until it doesn't...
