    Official SW-FOG 2015 Announcement: 5/28-31, THU-SUN!

    Hello All, Really hated to do it, but I just cancelled my room reservation at the El Rey. Something important came up at the last minute. It's a single queen room and is now available for some deserving FJR rider. Have a great time for me and ride safely! KW

    Official SW-FOG 2015 Announcement: 5/28-31, THU-SUN!

    Wow! Haven't checked the forum in a while and just found out about the Treasure Trail Motel cluster#$%&. Booked a room at the El Rey, so I'm still in. Thanks to Don, Ken and others who kept this thing on the rails - Great job guys! KW

    2011 SW-FOG

    Reservations are made. Looking forward to riding with some new FJR friends - might even spring for a round of "cold ones" - who knows. And thanks, Big-D, and others for your work in setting-up this gathering. KW

    Side Cases Flying Off?

    Survey Answered - bag came off my '08 while going uphill on the bumpy-ass dirt/gravel road where I live at about 10 mph. I know it was properly attached because I had seen the postings about the saddlebag launch issue and always double checked mounting any time I removed the bags. Wish I had...

    Suggested shortcuts for coolant change

    I have also used the Warchild "Blow Job" method to change coolant on the Feejer and it works well. But, after seeing the Motorcycle Consumet News review of the UView 550000 Airlift Cooling System Tool, I also had to have one. With all the vehicles I service, the $98 Amazon.com price seemed...

    Master Painter Garauld

    Just got my side bag covers back from a garauld "overhaul" and couldn't be more pleased. Those guys looked like they had been on a couple of tours in Afghanistan and needed some serious work. I realize that they had character, but after a while I got tired of the question - WTF happened to...

    Bill Mayer Saddle

    Also have a Bill Mayer leather seat - one of the best upgrades ever for an FJR - super comfy. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again. It's been really wet plenty of times when touring with zero problems. The Bill Mayer design doesn't have excessive seams or stitching where water can enter or get...

    Throttle Tamer?

    Now's the time to order from G2 - They are offering 20% off thru 12/31/09, and free shipping for orders over $50.00. Nice Deal! Just sprung for a Throttle Tamer, and and a pair of grips while I was at it. KW

    Leo Vince - Aluminum

    Haven't received the cans yet but I ordered on Monday and the UPS tracking number says that delivery will be tomorrow, Thursday. That's fast service! UPS shows that the Leo's were shipped from CA and and since Revzilla is in Philly, I suspect that they are being dropped shipped from either Leo...

    Leo Vince - Aluminum

    Just snagged a Leo Vince SBK Oval II Exhaust - Aluminum (#7191) at a super price. Ordered one this AM from Revzilla.com (Revzilla item #512806) at a close-out price of $597.56 - that's a 17% discount. And, at check-out if you enter the "Secret Employee Holiday Special Code" of EMPTHX09, they...

    seat ladder

    Wow, 80K is a lot of miles on a seat that's not right. For me, the stock seat was barely a step up from straddling a railroad tie - only an hour or so before the pain set in. A custom seat was my first upgrade. At 5' 9", 30" inseam, 200 lbs. I could only touch on the balls of my feet, so that...
