FJR Setup For Distance Riding

[markjenn]

There is a ride report on AdvRider about a guy exploring the Sierras' backroads last spring on a KTM. Excellent report and photography:

Near the end of the trip, he meets "Dave" on an FJR and shoots a couple shots of his rig. I thought these pictures might be interesting to this forum:

Dave, are you on this forum?

Cheers,

- Mark

Hasn't this guy heard of farkles? Geez, I think he could do a little bit to dress his ride up. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm pretty sure that's TurboDave, a CA native. Only met him once at the Pink's RTE. I know he has a Tanji fuel cell, which is pictured above with the tailsack on top of it. He always reminds me of a Wing rider.......I don't know why.

What's up with the '03 fuel tank..... guess he did not want to plumb his '05 tank for whatever reason...?

[tcfjr]

Those look like Wild Bill highway pegs...

I think you're right, but where'd the antennea go?? Musta been out for a short ride - side cases are off (prolly a first for Dave!)

 

[trimmantom]

Dam,all he needs is a blue light in the back and he could pass for an LA cop and give out tickets for cash and farkle that bitch up a little more.

 

[twowheelnut]

What? What?

 

[dobias]

TWN,

If you're talking about the XM antenna, it's under the XM.

Yep - that is Dave from So. Calif. I had the pleasure of meeting him last Monday evening at Madmike's before they left for WFO-4. FYI he has a cell phone and CB radio added to the mix now!

Nope. Seem to remember a CB or SW antenna...

 

[Groo]

What? No Throttle lock? Sheesh... farkle rookies.... :lol:

On second look, I do see the corner of a wrist rest in the cockpit view... so he gets 1/2 credit...

 

[Thug]

I like the colour scheme!

 

[FatNakedGuy]

That electrical farking is cool and all, but what if he needs to stop somewhere and go in for 10 minutes? Does he strip everything? Hope it's still there when he returns?

And when it rains, what happens to the stuff?

Too much stress for me. Less is more I think....

Philosphically appropriate for a naked guy.
