Update on my toy:
Back on the road!!!! Woo-ho!!
Spent several weeks out of town on bid-ness, so that slowed progress down,
but the 3 day weekend got me there.
Progressive coughed up $4300 including some gear replacement. We haggled a little, but they did me right.
So far, I'm out ~$2500 plus about 40 wrenching hours. (I work slow)
New upgrades:
Added a Centech fuse box with custom harness from EasternBeaver
(Damn those little things are pricey, but I had a heated grip gremlin was pissing me off, and this seems to have cured it.)
2nd Look tank bra. (black bras are always sexy
)
Used pieces mounted:
front fender off Ebay (actually that scratch was not from this event, but got replaced anyway)
R&G slidder from the bottom of my tool box. A bonus of being a long term FJR owner.
New stuff: (all from Ron Ayers, free shipping in April made them the easy choice. It was a big ass box.)
left side - lower, upper, and FZ-1 mirror
headlight / nose cowl (both mine had broken mounting tabs)
front subframe
generator cover & gasket
speedo rear mounting plate (had a broken mounting point)
Maintenance while it was down:
fresh fork oil and brake fluid (front and back)
disassembled and cleaned front calipers (mostly)
Still have a small dent in the tank and a scratched turn signal. Time will tell if those get replaced.
I bought a used tank off Ebay, but it arrived damaged. The seller says he will refund my money and pay shipping,
so it's all good. If that works out, I'll be giving them a favored supplier plug.
So, I'll roll with the dented tank for a while. If you know of an undamaged '03 tank shot me a PM.
A used '03 saddlebag is on the way from a very gracious forum member. You guys rock!!!
I figured pics of a fixed FJR would be a little silly. It looks like the one on the far left of the top of the page. B)
except for the custom Corbin, bobbed tail, D&D cans, FJRForum logo windsheild, SS bar weights, Jastek power plug, Modified rear shock area Ohlins shock, and..... maybe I'll just take a pic.......
See ya on the road !!!!! :drinks: :bye:
