Just used a pair of cheap "no-name" bulbs. They work OK at night but not spectacular. A lot of people like to complain about the FJR's stock lighting system but I think its pretty good as long as the lights are aimed correctly. One of these days, I'm going to try a set of high-end Osrams or something similar. The higher output bulbs typically have a shorter lifetime at considerably greater expense. On the other hand, I only got a year (28,000 miles) out of the last cheap ones I installed so I can probably look forward to doing this again next season.Sounds about right, good job! Out of curiosity what bulbs did you put back in? Tried them out at night yet? Whatcha think?
I changed out my Leo Vince Carbon to Vance & Hines CSONE
Might be a problem with "double vision"?I did a few things today but the only thing that got in front of the camera was the installation of the bar-end mirror.Now what is behind me is perfectly clear.
Looks like we'll be headed across E Kentucky about the same time. We start our route to go leaf peeping in WV Friday and Saturday Wed evening (later today - yeah!). If you head past KY on into the Beckley, Fayetteville, or Summersville area on Friday maybe we'll cross paths. I will be going up to MD on 219 before heading west on 50, then ride around in OH a little on the way back to Western KY. I'll be posting my location on channel 42240 on https://gps.motionx.com/iphone/liveupdates/ if anyone is interested. It's the first trip I'm trying this app out, so we'll see how that goes.Tonight I will pack my FJR to get ready for my next adventure, which starts Wednesday.
7-10 days and hopefully at least 3000 miles of "YEE HAAAA!!!"
I know I'm heading into Eastern Kentucky to start. After that, I have no friggin clue.
It's gonna be epic........
It always is.
Howie,Marcus,
Didn't you acquire that from one of our Aussie members?
Looks good...be sure to re-post pics after you've painted it to match.
Could you post a pic or two of the interior?
'Howie
Did that yesterday. Took the car today, heavy fog and chilly. I would've been soaked by the time I got here, and it's not far enough to put on my rainsuit (about 2 miles!) Beautiful out now though and I plan on a little ride after work.Rode it to work...and I'll be riding it back home too
I ride alone a lot for those very reasons. Sometimes it's hard breaking away to do it, there's always something else that I should be doing. That's the beauty of playing those Tag o Rama games on ADVriders. It gives you an excuse to get out by yourself for a while.I put a call out to my friends to see who wants to tag along. I'm hoping nobody, that way I can follow my nose, don't have to be home by a certain time and can stop whenever I damn well feel like it!

My season is in the twilight and it won't be long before they get put away again. Planning on a fall color ride this Sat. I put a call out to my friends to see who wants to tag along. I'm hoping nobody, that way I can follow my nose, don't have to be home by a certain time and canstopturn around whenever I damn well feel like it!
