What did you do to your FJR today?

[JoelTheMole]

Finished installing my clutch master cylinder from an '89 ZX7:



Basically the detached reservoir version of the same Nissin 14mm CMC that came with the FJR stock. I tried one off a newer H2 but the clutch switch mount didn't fit ours and I didn't want to mess with trying to rig it up.

Finally managed to break the pin off the fairing piece that goes between the tank and the seat. Will be on the hunt for one of those, I guess.

I've broken one of those forward posts twice. Both times I just trimmed the mating edge a little then superglued it back in place THEN fill the whole thing with runny JB Weld. The raised edge section keeps the JB in place while it sets. I just set everything up in advance with a little tilt, etc.

That works.... or you can use stiffer Permatex plastic epoxy and build up a pin from scratch... file, sand, etc. later to suit. Also use a little silicone or dielectric grease in the grommets.... reduces the effort to get the pins in and out.

In support of our IBR riding members I rode mine to work, in the rain, in heavy fog. If they can do it so can I.

I road my FJR today .....

.... Teasing Pants here.

Better late than never, but rest assured.... mission acomplished.

For those that don't know, I've had a special fascination with that waterfall for a LONG time. Some of that I can explain, some I cannot.

One day I WILL see it in all its glory.

One day.....

Rode right by that a couple hours ago. It was late in the day and after 330 miles and a 45 minute stop while we repaired my riding partner's flat tire it was just get to the hotel and chill out time. Boo hoo. I'm sure I will regret it later.

Well Greg check out some photos online and be happy. I used to ride from Seattle area to Palouse Fall and camp out. Now the camping area is closed. I never thought it was that spectacular until I learn out it was formed but that is available online well. The geology story there is interesting.

Coming from Starbuck one of the sights I always enjoyed is the Joso High Bridge. It's a railway trestle. The the Rd in to the falls there is a bridge over a cut for the tracks that is fairly deep cut right thru the rock, must have been a lot of work. The falls are ok makes a nice pit stop.

Today Scott and I met Mike and Laura (WNYFJR) at breakfast and then took them for a ride down through Spearfish Canyon, up to Sundance, to Warren Peak, to Devils Tower, Hulett WY, Alzada MT (where the Stoneville Saloon was closed and had a big For Sale sign out front, returned to Hulett for lunch at more than FJR Nominal. Then dodged rain showers and thunderstorms on our way back to Belle Fourche and to Spearfish. We then went to visit Alex at BH Moto where Mike and Laura both purchased new helmets.

It was a 210 mile day, I'd forgotten how much fun it is to ride an FJR. During our day we passed several Harley's, tested our tire balance at speed, and chatted continuously on our Cardo Mesh network. It was nice to meet Mike and Laura, though I think I recognize Mike from EOM last year.

MORE than FJR nominal? I don't believe it. Sounds like a good day though.

[bungie4]

More than fjr nominal you say.

Your new Indian name is pants on fire.
