What did you do to your FJR today?

[dcarver]

Winter?? You guys really gotta learn the advantages of living way more south.
I did some small maintenance items and took my middle daughter for a 150 mile ride. She had a blast.

'Zilla.. I will give you NO grief on this post, only accolades. Good for you. 12 bonus points out of 10 from the CBA prez..

Seems a little early for blooming fruit trees....

Now it is this color:

Still have to get some of that crap off they use to melt ice and snow but it looks so much better.

I looked at it...as I backed out of the garage this morning, to go to work.

'Bout time you went back to work, slacker.

I eyeballed mine in the garage yesterday when I was getting the snow blower out for a ride, again.

I wouldn't wish that 2 1/2 month vacation on anyone...

I rode mine Saturday....the high got to around 66F.......it was a great day to ride to the Hockey game. Yesterday I side-stepped it and took the FZ1 out for a spin.

Installed the Powerlet dual socket lockset kit for my heated gear. Installed the Centech AP-2 fuse panel & connected wiring for my GPS and radar detector.

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Installed a set of black anodized 7 click adjustable levers. The shape of the clutch lever in particular is much better for me, the brake lever is better as well. I love the way these look, they add to the blacked out look of the '15. They feel great as well so it is a win/win for me.

I can see how the Harley guys get excited over buying chrome now. With my old ST there was no making it look better. With the FJR I can make it look better and work better too. This could get fun.

Oh, and I gave Scar a bath as well. Then, just like I do every night, I got on it and rode it to work.

But it is...toggle off that upper left button in the reply screen and it should paste from photobucket okay. I had a 79 XS11 special. Cool bike for 1979.

Yes, photobucket works just fine. In fact it is what I use. There are threads here on how to use it, how to make it work.

The Yamaha XS11 and the Midnight Special variant were awesome in their day. The fact that I was too young to experience those wonderful machines is one of the great regrets of my life. That Midnight Special in black and gold was the stuff of dreams.

Waiting to hear your opinion, sir.

The stock seat was just fine until I did back-to-back 500-mile days. Those last few hours had me squirming like an earthworm on the sidewalk.

Likely to be Pazzo levers. Do a search on Pazzo, they are available from a lot of places with varying prices.

Received my new (and first ever) Russel Day-Long saddle two days ago. I went all out on this one for the girlfriend and I.

It is a work of art!







Unfortunately, though the jury is still out I think it will be going back sooner than later.

Uh oh...

Knock-offs from the2wheels is frugal option. I've got about four sets of these in various colors / lengths rattling around.

Well, after a whopping 200 miles.......... it's too high! My ass seems to be happy with the shape though I think I would like another 1/4" - 1/2" rise in the front to keep from sliding forward, but it is too high! Feels like I am 1.5" - 3" higher than stock. Even in low seat position it is much higher than stock in high position. I went to from easily flat-footing to barely not being able to. But I can live with that. But raising my whole butt and torso makes me lean forward more and is making things uncomfortable for the arms, wrists, and shoulders. It puts me in more of a sport bike position. This even with the Heli riser triple clamp. And it feels like I am too high over the windshield.

I am going to ride it for another 1,000 miles or so and let it break in but I anticipate it going back for adjustment. The g/f's rear seat looks absolutely wonderful though she hasn't tried it yet. One of the reasons I went with the leather Russel is I have sat on Fairlaner's several times and love it. I don't remember it being all that much higher than stock.
