I'll take them. I do need the latch, key and the two screws for one of the locks. Email me at [email protected] to set up the details. Thanks, Jim

It was good to meet you, too.

Does anyone have a side case lock and key for sale? The screws holding it on came loose on a return trip from West Virginia and Virginia. It ejected somewhere along the way home. Let me know if you have one or even two available for sale. I have a Givi top case, so I don't need three. Thanks, Jim

Thanks to RossKean and Ignacio for the information. I was getting mixed information when I searched under Organic vs Sintered Brake pads. Some guys said use OEM, others have had great results with EBC HH Sintered with no rotor damage. I'm going to buy the EBC FA423/HH pads. I did a YouTube...

Does anyone know if the OEM front brake pads for 2014 ES are organic, semi metallic or sintered? After 45,000 miles, it's time to replace the pads. OEM will cost me around $165.00 and take a week to get to my house. I can get EBC HH sintered pads (FA423/HH) from Dennis Kirk in a day for $122.52...

Welcome from a St Anthony Village MN rider. I think you'll find the FJR to be pretty bomb proof. Follow Rodger's advice, but even if you wait a while, the FJR will run perfectly. It's a great machine designed to produce numerous smiles over the miles. Enjoy it and ride as often as you can.

Sorry, it's sold. jbjamn bought it.

I have it. I'll sell it for $25.00. Let me know if you want it.

I have one I can part with. I won it at a rally and never installed it. I don't use radar detectors anymore. Too many false alarms from my older detectors. I'm in Florida until late of March. Contact me later in the month and we can work something out.

I totally agree. Our lead player runs his Blues Junior at 7 and we're always on him to turn it down. He likes the tone when one overdrives the tubes. I like it when my ears don't burst. I have a 500 watt Eden bass amp and and I rarely run it past 4. My hearing is suffering the way it is. I even...

FYI, Fender amps go to 11. The Fender Tweed Blues Junior amp goes to 12 for all settings. Is it louder? Of course not, but some some fools will believe it's louder.  I really like my 5 speed FJR. I've ridden the 6 speed model, but don't see enough difference to upgrade from my 2014 ES.

Mike, Thanks for the update. With the recent events, I wondered if the tech day would be possible. Guess not, like everything else. I guess it's not the big things that derail us, just a tiny virus that stops the world. Kind of hard to kill it, considering it's not a living thing. Just a damn...

Good news. I'll be at the tech session with normal skin color. The lab tests showed a large increases in my key indicators, but the CT scan revealed only a small increase in the lymph node size. No chemo yet. The bad news is the DVT issue is back. I have clots behind my left knee and upper calf...

Gee, we've had two days in a row with sunshine and cloudless skies in Minnesota. Maybe you should be riding around here. Of course it was -4 F this morning. Yesterday the wind chill was a lovely -25. My wife and I even took a very short walk on the frozen lake. She wasn't up for any ice...

Retirement is great, but the pay sucks. I'm trying to learn to live on far less income. Money coming in is far less of what it was while working and my medical costs (insurance and medications) have doubled. It does put a big dent in what I can do. I'm not standing on a street corner with a...

Mike, Thanks for hosting this again. I'll try to make it, but I can't commit until late Feb. There may be some good things happening and there may be some really bad things returning again. I'll know more in five weeks. Right now, I'm packing for a ski trip to Germany and Austria next week...

We've had cold and snow since last week. The high yesterday was 30 with 2 to 3" of snow on the ground. My wife and I spent the weekend at the lake property with hopes of clearing 2 acres of oak leaves off the ground. That didn't happen. Riding season in Minnesota is over for this year. The DOT...

I agree with MEM and Fred on this subject. Everything in life is dangerous. No one gets out alive. I've done my share of dodging death. Had stage 4 cancer six years ago. In fact, I had three bikes in the garage at the time, but bought my first FJR three weeks after my first chemo treatment. I...

I've been running PR4 GT on my 05 FJR. I usually get a bit over 9000 miles per set. I do some 2 up with gear and have to admit that my wife and I weigh a lot more than Roger Dodger and his wife. That's why I get the GT. I did pick up a 14 ES last fall. It had 4500 miles on it with the original...

Mike, I should be able to make the tech session. Thanks for hosting it again. It's always a good time. Probably won't need any work on the '14 ES. It's pretty well equipped already. I even have a MN license plate on it now. No more riding with an expired Ohio plate.
