FJR Mods & Farkles

[paint]

See who can count the most mods and farkles?

 

[dcarver]

Hey! No fair posting pictures of STOCK bike then asking for a farkle count!

 

[radman]

I see why yur called "paint" anyways. Whats the collection up to now?

 

[gr8eyes]

26

 

[paint]

More than 26 and you can't see the Wilbers springs,heat mods or PCIII.

The wife collection is 1.

Grandchild collection is 3.

The bike collection is 4 with motors,3 without.

The paint collection is about 10 gallons at home and about 70,000 gallons in inventory.

The photo collection from last year's tip to Montana,British Columbia and Alberta is about 1600.

Down to 1 dog now.

I stopped counting BEFORE I got my bike! Too many to keep track of...

 

[Hotboot]

I was way off. Nice set of goodies.

What's with the holes and slots in the tupperware below the rad covering the header ? Looks trick and might flow heat better.

Hotboot must have missed something ???

 

[Hotboot]

Did you polish the wheel rims too ?

 

[Yambone]

Wow, great bike! I think you should add the rug to the farkle list. :agent:

 

[paint]

The cut-outs in the "V" piece are there to help airflow/heat management. I think it looks cool but I don't think it makes much difference. You can't see all the insulation I added under the skin.I'm not sure which part helps the most but I really don't have a heat problem any longer and I live in Alabama.

The rims have tape on them and don't really look that good in person. I will try polishing when I need tires.

Anyway,I think the FJR is the only bike to have if you can only have one bike! What you can (kind of) see through the windscreen are my Ducati PS1000LE and my little BSA Bantam.I'm lucky enough to have more than one.

 

[Cyclenut]

Stainless oil filter. Does it filter beter?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here we go.

dcarver, thanks for the weather update. I'm headed over to Paso Robles to our little getaway tomorrow, maybe Christmas.

 

[Karmak]

You guys are amateurs. I haven't seen one fox tail farkle.
