Any forum rebuild is heroic... doing it on a weekend is.... well... it's insane, really, but I'm sure glad you're doing it. If there's a way for us lowly sharecroppers to help or contribute please let us know.

I put 20,000 miles on my '02. Great bike. 100% reliable. Plan on replacing the seat and the windscreen. Most people want the higher Cee Bailey screen but I had much better luck with shorter screens -- less turbulence. I had mine tricked out with a Power Commander, K&N filter, and Staintune...

Yeah, that'll do it. It looks like that simple mount with the rubber ball and the 10mm hole right? Thanks!

Lucky me, got a Garmin eTrex for xmas. What have you all used for RAM mounts? None of what I'm seeing looks quite right for the feejer cockpit. I'm not into a shelf. All suggestions appreciated.

I'll probably pay it because I look at the site now and then, but he sure needs to organize all that data better if he's serious about charging for access. People aren't so forgiving once money changes hands.

Got a very cool Motofizz tank bag for xmas... I am so tempted to use it for my commute (the laptop fits!) and leave the hard bags home. But it seems like magnets could wack out the computer. Anybody ever try this particular stupid pet trrick?

Didn't know pashnit had a forum; that's great advice! Might make sense to call him, too. The guy deserves to make some bucks for compiling all that data. Still wish he'd put it in a database, though. I also discovered that the guys who wrote Destinatiojn Highways Washington (and BC) are...

Hell with the movie, I just want some of the director's meds.

I dunno. I went to the show Friday night and had a completely different reaction. I thought the new blue, the changes to the mirrors, and the instruments were all kind of cheesy. Why draw attention to the mirrors? Why put shiny trim oj the instruments? The blue A bike had the fairings...

Thanks for all the ideas, much appreciated! I've been combing the the pashnit site; great stuff! I also like https://www.motorcycleroads.us/ca.html because it's a little easier to use for trip planning. It would sure be cool if pashnit was in a database so all that data was searchable.

Yo Californians. I'm planning a ride from Seattle down to San Diego in '06. I figure I'll go south along the coast then head back home northbound and do the mountain side of the state. Yosemite is a must. I'd sure like to hear about your favorite routes, best roads, curves ahead next 77...

Just got mine in the mail... painted blue (fastest color). It is one helluva piece of craftsmanship and a great bargain. Much lighter than I expected, too. I will post a pic next time I have my digicam out. Thanks garauld!

We had our first _serious_ rain storm here and to say my FG pants leaked would be too kind. Flooded is more like it. I got to work looking I wore my jeans in the shower. I've tried to spray old FG stuff with Scotchguard before and was underwhelmed with the results. Any suggestions on...

I ended up installing Wally's co-worker's map (Bill's Wally's smoothness map) that is billed as the same concept but for a bone stock bike. Rode it today for the first time and while it idles a little rough that whole stretch from 3500-4500 rpm which used to surge is now almost perfectly clean...

I was downloading Wally's famous map when I noticed he does not have stock pipes. Anybody using that map with a bone stock feejer? Or is there another map better for that config? Thanks -

Extreme? What makes you say that?

I don't think this bike is meant for us... but a guy riding a Silver Wing might cream all over it. :cownoy:

FWIW, the Corbin I had on my V-Strom was not waterproof. It was only a problem when parked in the rain, but if it was parked long enough, and the rain hard enough, it would retain water like your wife when she was pregnant. It took some time to dry out. I used to switch back to the stock...
