Good to hear! I'd heard rumors of other 14x hp Hondas.My 112k or so AE will hopefully hold up! Looking forward to it in a big way. Good luck to all the FJRs. Josh
My 2009 FJR was starting to get to a point that I no longer trusted it after riding the BigTex rally last year. During that event, power was cutting out and in at times and I was unable to make it happen on a regular enough basis to want to take a chance on it for the IBR. So...I bought another FJR. I found a used 2012 49-state model in Las Vegas with 8200 miles (just above the California import level) on it last December. Packed the family in the car after work one night, drove to Vegas, picked up the bike and we were on our way home. I got the easy job of riding a new (to me) bike home, my wife got a boring drive across the desert in the car with a 4-year old in the back seat. I spent the rest of the winter (a relative term living in California) turning a stock bike in a rally bike. Aux Fuel, barn door windscreen, radar detector, GPS's and my beloved Russell seat were transferred from the old bike. New aux. lights were procured and installed, etc. By May, the bike was more or less ready to go.We've got many people already watching this forum and if you're a rider in this year's event and have a few minutes to share what it's like to get ready for the 2015 Iron Butt Rally--we'd love to hear from you.
