I've never ridden without them. If I didn't have them I'd be constantly strapping stuff to the luggage rack. The only time I wish they weren't there is in particularly tight traffic conditions that make lane splitting difficult. But that happens only rarely. The main reason I don't take them...

<trivia> That guy's art was used heavily in the Alien movies, and he's listed on the film credits as the creator of The Alien. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317592/" </trivia>

I ran into the same trouble. It appears that no one wants to be responsible for a stolen bike. I found a solution by riding it up to a tow truck/vehicle storage outfit and pleading my case. The guy made me five keys for five bucks. For some reason the local WalMart and Ace Hardware...

Great advice, thanks. I didn't have replacement spacers and time was of the essence so I pounded the originals flat and reinstalled them. I used a modified PVC pipe that I had laying around. It was big enough to fit over the inner tube but too big to cover the bushing and seal. I ended up...

Yep. I replaced both bushings, the dust seals, and the oil seals. I also replaced the '03 springs with new springs from an '04. But I found it difficult to locate replacement fish-oil (I was looking for Mackerel or Cod wt), so I ended up using Spectrol 10wt. :P

Yeah, I checked those sites too. The one you mentioned had the best step-by-step advice, but when he got to where I'm stuck, he says this: "Now the fork tube and fork leg are ready to come apart. Just follow instructions in the manual for disassembly and then get everything squeaky clean."...

Yep, I took that wire ring out first-thing. I thought about handling this the way I used to handle seal-removal when I worked on my dirt bikes, and that's by hammering a screw driver through the seal and prying it out by force, but I figured it would be better to get some advice this time...

Hi all, I believe this is my first post, not counting my intro post, whenever that was. Don't ask me why that's relevant because I don't have an answer. I'm doing a fork rebuild on my '03 FJR and I've run into a bit of difficulty separating the inner and outer fork tubes. I got the 6mm allen...

Alrighty then. This is my first post in this forum. And I actually have an opinion on this subject. Go figure. I just bought an '03 FJR with 19k on the clock. I noticed that when I hit the starter after stopping for gas, it would sometimes start up okay, but it would usually hesitate then...
