    Mid-March Florida Ride

    Looks like the forecast is down to 40% for tomorrow now. Is anyone still gonna ride to Woodys if the weather holds? If the weather stays mostly dry, ill ride over. If not, im going to the gun show.

    Mid-March Florida Ride

    I was hoping sun was still on as i missed the previous ride. Unfortunately, it looks like a 70% chance of storms on sunday. Ill be the first to admit that I am not as hard core as some people on here, so you wont find me riding in the rain if i can avoid it.

    Mid-March Florida Ride

    I would be interested, just need at least a week notice. Any issue with any FJ (not FJR) riders coming along? got a coworker riding one. Also have a few buddies riding sub liter bikes that may want to ride too.

    Tampa Bay and surrounding areas

    sounds like fun, can anyone with a FJR show up? Any of you guys installed the audiovox cruise control on your bikes? I would love to meet up with someone local that has done it to help me install mine.

    Battery died any other way to start?

    I have jumped mine before. I raised and lowered the window many times removing the plastics, as well as leaving the power on while redoing the speedos. I dropped the voltage down to about 10.5v. It was enough to hear the fuel pump clicking. Tried the push start. Only takes about 3-4 tries...

    Anybody live in/near Andersonville, GA

    I dont live close, but have been to the camp. There is a cool welcome center, and an area to walk around. There is also a driving audio tour that was really interesting. Not sure how it would work out on a bike though. its a pretty moving trip.

    WTB Windshield bracket / link

    The part is officially called the windshield link 1. Its the top connection to the windshield bracket on the clutch side. The one I am looking for was only used on the 2004 and 2005 models. My windshield can move, but when raised at any speed over 30mph, it flops around like crazy. The part...

    Tech Day?

    I would love to go to one. Being that I have only had the bike for a week, anything that I can learn would be most appreciated. I would love to have it looked over by people that know the FJR.
