    Sponsorship Opportunity. 🤷‍♂️😆

    I had a 2007, and did way too much riding on it. I even did a Saddle Sore 1500.😲 Then I sold the 2007.😟 Then I wandered the earth on various other "less than" bikes.💩 Now I'm shopping again for a FJR, a Gen 3. I found wayyyyy too many FJRs I can afford right now. So, the sponsorship...

    Going to the Dark Side

    I just completed the Military Sport Bike Riders course (aka MSF Advanced RiderCourse), riding my car tire. Not only did I complete every sport bike task with a car tire. I actually out performed every other sport bike there in curves and braking and acceleration during curves, evation and...

    Going to the Dark Side

    OH! By the way, my brake bar was 99% complete when I got it at the hardware store. I really didn't even need to drill new holes. I only cut the edges down to fit the caliper. $6.00 at True Value. It's a peice of galvanized repair strap. :)

    You (in a big overly dramatic fashion) obviously didn't see the wheel the tire was installed on.... :P

    Going to the Dark Side

    I road in some very heavy rain on I-70, at night... Well my EXO-400/700 kept me dry as dry can be. Unfortunately it was raining so hard it didn't matter, I had to pull off and wait for it to calm down. For the money Scorpion makes the most comfortable full face I've ever worn. If the darksider...

    Going to the Dark Side

    Off to the hardware store to get a chunk of metal to replace my brake brace thingy, so my "spare" wheel will fit.

    Fork seal leak again! WTF

    I had a leak develope at the end of last season and didn't see it for a good 400 miles of riding. Needless to say it made quite a mess, as the oil turned into quite a dirt magnet. I found the seal mate online also and litterally 5 minutes after I opened the package the seals were reseated and...

    Just made payment on an 06 rear wheel. Hope it's not too messed up, for my trial on the dark side. :)

    Gen I vs early Gen II Wheel

    Maybe I want to put racing slicks on... but you read between the lines right actually... So, any 04 - 07 abs will work, good. Thanks ya'll.

    Gen I vs early Gen II Wheel

    I want to get another wheel for a, so to say, "test". I'm only looking on eBay for now for another set, I really only need a rear wheel, and there apears to only be Gen I wheels on there. My eyes see them and think they'll work. Will they? A wheel, to me, includes the brake rotor, spacer(if...

    which bar riser is best

    I put the heli bars on. I'm of the vertically challenged size also. They have two positions you can use also. Instructions are about straight forward as you can possibly get. Heck they come with step by step pictures! You just need a 36mm socket (or what ever size it is, just great big) for the...

    lowered 7/8", what to expect?

    Sort of. The links, push the rear swing arm up, which then makes that big metal thingy that the other end of the links are connected to lower, which is lower than the exahaust header pipes. I have my little gremlin bell hanging on the link, and it'll dingle ling now and then on some humbs, and...

    lowered 7/8", what to expect?

    I lowered mine 1" in back and about 5/8 in front also. I can barely do centerstand now also. Put the rear up on a 2x4 and no problem. Yes speedbumps are a problem, but it drags on the on the suspension not the exhaust, and only if I go straight at them. If I go angle on them, it's ok then. I...

    OEM Saddlebags

    The best overall price I found was from Boats.net(works best if you just put the part number in their site). Shipping factored in with other sites, their total was lowest.

    OEM Saddlebags

    I start in April... (or May, or June).. A Toyota Tundra decided to merge with my saddlebag... It's got a hole in it now, and the Tundra has no bumper... First time I ever saw a motorcyle win against a 4 door truck. :blink:
