Changed engine and rearend oil. Getting it ready to ride to Austin for the GP next month.

The trailer pictured was actually built for a fellow to tow a sport bike behind his boss hoss. And to show the wishbone style of frame.

Trying to gauge interest I took my trailer by for a friend who builds custom trailers to take a look at. After walking around it a few times he started telling about how he would have built it if he were to build one. He started tell me about how he would have built it all from aluminum instead...

If you are still looking I have one

What kind of trailer do I have? Well it started life as a Harbor Freight trailer kit. It has been narrowed to be the width as the saddle bags. The frame has been slightly lifted to ride at the same height as the hitch. The axle was relocated for better balance. Covered the surface with expanded...

Thanks for the replys. I appologize for the repost, but I lost this one. My bad. I really need to get the hang of the search bar.

I pulled my trailer from Knoxville to Nashville and back and am a little disappointed in my mileage. My trailer weighs around 100lb and I packed it with about 80lb of camping equipment. My mileage dropped to 35 mpg. Is this fairly typical when towing a trailer?

Took my first ride pulling my trailer today. Went from Knoxville to Nashville and back getting 36 mpg. Trailer weighs around 100 pounds and I probably had 75 pounds of camping gear in it. Curious what kind of mileage other people are getting. I did remove my top box but now I am wondering if...

I googled my ass off and couldn't find anything. I'm actually looking for the original instructions

I picked up a used Dauntless hitch for my 05 FJR and didn't get the installation instructions. I think I have it figured out but I'm not real sure. If anybody has the instructions they could post or scan and email to me, that would be great.

I ran across a deal on a top box for my 05, but I don't have the factory rack or the mounting plate. I'm thinking I may like the Yamaha box better than my Givi box I have now. Anybody have a rack and or plate they want to part with?

The install really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be thanks to this board. We just took our time with it and it worked out great. If anybody is like me and are putting it off, go ahead and do it. You will not regret it!

Hard to not want to see naked women! Riding out is an added treat.

Trust me! I have no interest on most of the activities, but there is some wonderful riding and sites to see out there. We went 6 years ago and rode about 400 miles every day we were there. Took in all the sites we could find. This time we are going on out to Little Bighorn. We did spend about...

New tires, oil change, cruise control and a blow job! Looks like I am ready to ride out to Sturgis next Friday.

If there is anybody living in the Nashville area that has installed the Audiovox cruise on a gen one FJR and they have nothing to do this weekend, I will be installing mine, and any help / pointers will be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I can come up with a cold adult beverage or two.

Bustanut Joker is sending me a rear brake line. Anybody have a clutch line I could barrow?

With hydraulics you can only move the amount of fluid needed to move the pads. Once the system is filled and the air is removed, it shouldn't matter how many lines you have. You are only going to move the needed amount of fluid. If I am wrong in my thinking, I would like to see some more opinions.

As far as the front brakes, I didn't like the look of the two separate lines. I had mine made to look like the original single line with the splitter. They were considerably cheaper than the kits I looked at. Now I just want them all to match.

I finally had someone (Ken Wheeler at Deals Gap) set up my suspension this past weekend. If you are like me and afraid of trying it yourself, you really need to find somebody that knows what they are doing and have it done. I am amazed at the difference it has made in my 05. It handles and rides...
