I never dropped acid... but I'm groovn on your trip, man. Far out! This could have have been put under a ride report heading. Seriously, I understood. Happy accidents to ya!

Coming down on Florida are ya. Tags don't look Fl. And not that means much to squids anywhere, but state law says no vertical plate mounting. Besides, they dress like those Southpark cartoon kids. What state are they from again? Just firing back a little, but your right about those exposed...

Really...no screen at all? ok I'm off to take Aerodynamics 101 refresher if I'm reading this right.

I'd bet he's 49 but a kid at heart. So, not an OLD fart...but perhaps still a fart!

uuuuuummmmm. That's kind of vague. You have to put a liitle more effort into it than that. And...there might be a better heading to put this subject under. The short smart-ass answer is... "Escort". They even have them suction cup thingies for the windshield. Did I pass the test? Real answer...

Yeah. I understand. After riding most of a day getting to the camp site, there were a few things that were competing for top 5 or so to do. One, was a place sit without my legs split to each side of the seat. That was first order of seating. Second, I wanted something to lean my back against...

"My local dealer told me..." Ha! This is what I find when I catch up on posts from April 1st! FUUUUUUUUNNEEEEEE!

Dang Riona. Who are you? (This is a mentally stimulating thread with great feedback. I'm impressed.) This project, and how you're applying a sequenced logic working toward a functionally well-rounded product is so cool. You lay out the analyses so well. Apparently I don't meet many minds that...

I like your approach . Youve GOT this!

Oh yeah...I little critique I had about that art concept was the front of the "box". Seems angled a bit too far forward at the top and might be annoying to the lower back for those that sit more upright. Just saying.

As I recall, it's a photoshop dream image by a member, and it doesnt really exist. The gas tank fab was part of the discussion on how to possibly fabricate it. If you do this, be cool to the original designers of the art and the Smuggler by making it different enough to call your own...

SoCalFJR1300, Warmer climate riders (like myself) might wear the sleeve cuffs over the (shorty) gloves. We welcome the "breeze up the sleeve" and having the "rain to drain" over the gloves and not in them. I left the velcro cuff closures too loose one time and caught the Crampbuster while...

Not just to add another breath of life to an old thread...I remember saying "farkles" decades ago (80s?) to describe all the fancy and sparkly doodads that (insert forgotten-named-person) had on their automobile. They weren't add-ons, just all the factory offered options. Something like, "Looks...

I like it, but a voter probally needs to be a Facebooker. I'm not. Do you have the camera taped to a broom handle off the left side to get that shot or is that just lens choice?

Clear day. Who painted the mountains? Dang, those 13s look like they're on steroids.

Great report and fun to read. Thaw out in our sunshine. Welcome home.

The site says, "And used with a little skill, its also great for opening bottles!" Oh really? Like the way a rock can open a bottle?!!

bwv, When I said "roll off the throttle" I'm meaning manually rolling it off to reduce the RPMs, otherwise it will do it's job and hold it's position by placing pressure on the end of the throttle grip, thereby allowing you to shake the blood back into your hand, scratch, or whatever. When you...

I have the Kaoko too. I never had the Throttlemeister but from what I recall they work the same. Kaoko is smaller and blends with the look of the FJR. It doesn't have a left bar match or any weight for vibration dampening. It has a knurled ring to tighten. A roll or two with the pinky while...

Thanks KevinJax. If there was a thread on it... I missed it, and was curious to as to why not the the other choices. (Hadn't thought of the vibrator thing) Wow...that answer was "simple" (Fly Bye) and really did do a better job of answering my question than I did at answering it (mcatrophy).
