Oh lord, what have I started. I suppose it's less expensive for K&N (Champion Labs) to produce the smaller filter; then in turn selling it at the same price as the larger filter making a slight financial gain. Maybe that's the whole reason for the smaller filter. Or I like the better...

I was curious as to why K&N recommends the bigger filter for the earlier years for the FJR? It's not like there's a size restriction for our bikes between the different years. Strange.

Both filters come up in a search, but no one has compared the two on this forum. K&N's website says to use KN-148 for Gen 1 and II and KN-204 for Gen III As I understand it, nothing was changed between the generations what would require using a different filter. I just installed the KN-148 on...

It's been about 12 years since I've been up there. I remember It gets nice and cool fairly quickly as you get to the top.

Dang, I wish I would've seen this thread before I went out and bought a Bosch 3323 oil filter. I got the same feeling on installation that it just stopped turning. There was not that familiar contact with the gasket with allowing me to turn the filter and extra 1/2 to 3/4 turn. It just...

I went with the ES and happy I did. My only fear is if something breaks. What kind of bill is that going to be?

I have the exact same problem. Head starts shaking/wobbling 40-50mph. Gets progressively worse if I take my hands off completely. Took it to the dealer where they diagnosed it to be loose/bad head bearings. Took them 5 weeks to order the bearings and install them. Got the work done under...

Nope, it was just a quick trip up and back with a quick bite to eat. Couldn't wait to get back and out of the heat.

I just got back and the roads aren't any better. It would be a great ride, but the condition of the road just killed it for me. Still, have a fun time. The display was reading 104°. It was a hot one today.

I hear Tortilla Flats is a nice ride. I might be heading up there today. I've never been, so I can't say for certainty how the ride is. I've read mixed reviews on the food.

Interesting that ordering from eBay is actually less expensive compared to the T-Rex website.

I hear all balls bearings are a good alternative to OEM. Haven't yet tried them myself

I''ll have to start keeping a log of my pressures. My front sensor doesn't seem to lose any air. The rear may lose a little, but who knows if that because due to a small leak in the tire? I'll start keeping a log and then move the sensors over to another bike to compare. Probably a good idea...

Looks really good. I've used techspec before and really like their tank grippers. I just wish they didn't charge so much for just a piece of rubber.

Warpdrv, I got a chuckle out of your post. I think you have something there with relating my indifference to remove the tank stickers with my aviation background. I also like the stickers because it makes the bike feel new to me. They honestly don't bother me. I think it's kinda cool to see...

So I've had a few rides with the Tire Watch. Here's my pro's and con's list comparing the Tire Watch vs. the FOBO system. I still have the Tire Watch display temporarily mounted to the upper fairing. I need to tap the triple tree nut for a better, more visible mounting solution. The upper...

+1 on the X-Grip cradle. I have one on each of my motorcycles, mountain and road bikes. Awesome holder.

I like it. Where did you get the tape? EDIT: after a quick google search... https://www.amazon.com/SILVER-WHITE-Reflective-Graduated-Stripe-Motorcycles/dp/B0088F7J1C/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1431101968&sr=8-7&keywords=motorcycle+rim+tape

I can only hope to be 1/100th as good as that dude.

Nice ride! I split my time between my FJR and M109R. Both bike are so different I really enjoy them both. Couldn't see having just one bike. I was just went through Kingman last Sat/Sun on my trip to Vegas. It was cold going through on Sat. But yeah, no curves lol.
