I've been pondering putting inverted FJR forks on my '03. I do know (97%) that all will bolt on. Just trying to find the front end? Any out there?

Day 1 = Day 1, etc. A glance at a map would show that the other numbers correspond to Highways. #20 - North Cascade Highway 20 eastbound to Sandpoint, ID, etc.... I quit reading Destination Highways as I find Google Maps and conversations yield some great places to go. Thanks for the maps...

I'll follow up on the suggestions. Our routes are; D-1 Van, BC #20 east to Sandpoint, ID D-2 #95 S. and #12 E. to Missoula. D-3 North to Whitefish (this is where the extra rides come in) ** D-4 #93 N. #37 S. #2 N to Creston, BC D-5 #3 Home. ** May beeline it to Whitefish and then...

Last year did the Oregon "Beer Byways" tour. Got the shirt to prove it. Barley Brown's in Baker City, OR was worthy. One of the owners is a former MX champ. So some of the beers are named accordingly. SPeed Wobble, Two Smoke (not for the light of palate), Tumble off & Tank Slapper...

There is a gang of us planning Idaho and Montana in late August. The trip is already routed out but... We have a few short ride days and will be in Missoula & Whitefish, MT. Would anyone like to recommend some roads to ride while in the area. Will have an afternoon and morning to add some...

Does anyone have experience with swapping the front wheel from an R1 to an FJR? Recently I've gotten 2 dinged wheels (yeah! front and rear). I know for the early model FJR's they took the brakes from the R1. I was wondering about the front wheel as well. The wheel part numbers are close -...

Slight Mod to the chin fairing -- As seen on the original post I cut some air holes in my chin fairing. It was mentioned that this will "Drilling holes in the front plate like that will increase your engine op temps. They direct air upwards into the radiator. That's been proven." This did not...

Just took my first long distance haul on my '03 (The Gray Cat Shaft). Several of us did the Wa. coast - down eastbound along the Gorge - up through Ellensburg and the North Cascades #20 - then back to Vancouver, BC. I did 2000km (1250mi) in the 3 days and found her to be a very easy ride. On...

Since I am new to FJR's and this forum - I just took my first long distance haul on my '03 (The Gray Cat Shaft). Several of us did Wa. coast - down through the Gorge and up through Ellensburg and the North Cascades #20 - then back to Vancouver, BC. I did 2000km (1250mi) in the 3 days I was...

I read about cutting the left side inner panel. I opted not to. This seems to chanel air to the rad for much needed flow. I have yet to restrict flow to the rad - Why would I? OK I live in Canada - But on the west coast where it seldom freezes - Just rains!

Thanks for all the input - Some of it will most likely be put into practice - Others! Well It delves into the realm of personal taste!!! Yes I reviewed the chromeit mods. What ever I have done there is easily removed should it not work. As for the lower chin holes - Yes I did notice an...

Yeah! I am new here and came by cause I used the sight to find out more about my '03 before I bought it. So I figured I could add my $0.02 worth as I play around with the GrayCatShaft. After reading a bunch about the '03-'04 heat issue I concluded it was an air-flow issue. Cutting holes in the...
