[escapefjrtist]

That would be great! I looked over the instructions and they are a little vague. I ordered some torque wrenches got one and waiting for the other.

Your place or mine, shoot me a PM when you're ready to install.

A little off topic sorry but I thought where better to offer something free but to our "local" group.

When I bought my bike the guy had fabbed up a 1x1 aluminum cargo rack that he gave me, since I mounted a top case I don't ever see me using it, free to the first to claim it, you pay shipping. Here are two pics of it. I have never mounted it, and of course you use at your own risk to sub frame.

Sorry I reduced the pics to TINY and still got the you can't use that extension on this forum and don't have the time to upload to a site to create URL, seems like dropbox would work for that but guess not...

PM me if you want me to send you the pics.

I see there are some Monroe people here! I'm about 6 miles out of Monroe myself.

I'm hoping to make it, but I won't know if I can get the day until much closer.

 

[PigPen]

Yup. I think the plan is to meet at Shell on 2 & 203 at 7am ish then head down to Carnation for some Java at Starbucks then head down to Auburn. Hope you can make it. I have been so darn busy I haven't really had a chance to meet anyone from around here.

I might try and hook up with you guys at the Starbucks in Carnation.

 

[samamoto]

I'll probably join the "Shell on 2 & 203 at 7am ish" group. It still looks like my schedule will be open.

Would it be possible to make the valves check/adjustment during the meeting? I'm not sure there will be enough time to cool everything down...

Yup...a few of us up in them thar hills. I'm about 5 miles north of SR2.

Hope you can make Tech Day, fun day for all that attend!

Looks like you guys are meeting about 30 minutes from Carnation. So around 7:45'ish?

 

[samamoto]

Common Adam, from Bellevue to the point on 2/203 on Saturday morning it's gonna be a 15-20 minutes swing to barely warm up the engine. 203 to Carnation is one of the nicest roads around along with the High Bridge road just by. You have a sports-touring machine, use it!

There will be a few of us meeting in Carnation. Leaving Monroe at 7:00 we should arrive around 7:30, in time for a quick cup before liftoff.

YA ya ya. I know the area well. I live on West Lake Sammamish Parkway and ride the valley all the time. In fact I took a 30 minute loop through there on Saturday. I'll hook up with you guys at the Starbucks.

 

[Jer]

Count me in unless it rains. I only ride in the rain when caught out on a long trip and that has happened many times. I have never done a TBS on either of my FJR's, maybe this is the time. Someone should let me know what tools I should bring with me.

 

[Panman]

TBS? Nothing

 

[PhatAir4Me]

TBS? Nothing

I believe he is referring to a Throttle Body Sync.

This is my goal as well as PAIR block off, plugs while in there and the TBS NOT to be confused with IBS!
