Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Looked at it trying, to figure out which parts should have some Xpel ultimate plus applied. Tank, bags, headlights and wrap at the bottom of the tank come to mind so far.
A somewhat local installer has the equipment to custom cut from bulk, and his prices are very reasonable. Besides, I'm putting it on a car at the same time, and will carry in bike parts for the application.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
From what I read, stunters lower the rear tire pressure greatly to allow for a larger contact patch, which seems appropriate since it will be the ONLY contact patch.

Umm, I'm not sure if she was a stunter or a newbie just learning to ride One thing is for sure, she is hugging the gas tank real good. That is one position that the guys don't want to be in when it comes back down hard.

Clearly a stunter, and that bike needs all the help it can get for that particular stunt.

After a couple weeks of snow and cold, got the FJR out for a 60 mile rip. Still makes me smile after all these years!!

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Rode it to work. The new Laam seat is slipperier (more slippery?) than the last cover, so mental adjustments are being made. No tentative opinions until I get 5,000 miles on it.
Maybe some velcro patches on the seat and on my ass?

The seat came back from the nice folks at Russell Day-Long so I put it on the bike.

I don't' think there is any automatic ways to get banned over here on this site, but if there was, this would be it!

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Talented ones can get those tassels spinning in opposite directions simultaneously. At least, that's what I've been told.
