Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Geez, there's a few leftover new 2016 models of the F still out there on Cycle Trader, listing at $7k for what is now MSRP of $11,600 and you could probably talk them down.

Rode mine to work, our forecast says we could see 60 this afternoon. Boxed up the stiffy kit I had for sale and have it ready for UPS to pick up this afternoon to go to its new owner in TX.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Checked on the DIY mirror stay repair from Monday night. Used a superglue gel from Loctite and three clamps with the mirror still attached. It's hardened for 48 hours and is as solid as new. Got wiring ready to pull for installation of Fuzeblock (Thanks, BigJohn, it's finally getting installed!), Glenda aux lights, and "ignition-on" signal from glove box cigarette lighter.
Oh yeah, cigarette lighter has already been gutted and replaced with 2-socket USB port. It's an ugly thing, but it will be hidden in the glove box and the ohmmeter says it will work.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Where are you mounting the fuze block? If under the seat, there is an easier trigger source with the license plate light circuit.
The blue wire/white stripe is the license plate light wire.

Yeah, I ride motorcycles. I know why dogs put their heads out of the car windows.
Yeah, I fly hang gliders (3000 hrs.+). I know why the birds sing.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Yea, wish I'd known this ages ago. The headlight is a terrible idea for a trigger source. Unless of course you never use the high beams

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Morning started off with severe thunderstorms. Then they moved out and it was 70F and sunny. Go for a ride? Don't mind if I do! Last week I took Jakob out on big silver, today it was little blue's turn. Good afternoon ride.
