Hope Denny's all better.
I started taking off the slick that is my rear tire, so I can put on a takeoff that will last 4 days of twisties and 1 day of slab home from EOM.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Them's the olden days Joe, when griff had the tire changer and I didn't. Now that I have a nomar I just do it. (even though I do miss having griff doing all that work for me).El Toro Joe wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2017 3:12 pmFixed it for you, Mark...wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2017 9:00 am I started taking off the slick that is my rear tire, and then I called Griff, so he can put on a takeoff that will last 4 days of twisties and 1 day of slab home from EOM.![]()
I will try and get a take off though that will completely fall apart as I ride it up the driveway the Sunday after EOM. I don't wanna be wasting tireage and pollutin the werld.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Keep an eye out for winter markdowns. I bought a Cycle Hill a few years back for under $400. Its paid for itself. Friggen shops around here, bring your bike in, $120 EA. Dismount them yourself and bring them in, $50 EA.
It doesn't take to many changes to be in the black with it.

I made a bracket that slides into the receiver hitch on my Durango and I dont have to bolt it to the floor. Also, the bumper makes a nice place to put your beer so it can be knocked on the floor when the bar slips...
Do you use the stock bar or have something like a MOJO lever? I am worried the delrin end will break off at some point. Any suggestions?

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
I'm using the stock bar with some irons from Motion Pro. Tips. Technique and lotsa loob.

Re: RE: Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Does your technique involve lots of profanity? I think that helped with the RS3 I put on. Used lots of tire soap, a tire spoon, the stock bar, a piece of one by and several heretofore never invented swear words.bungie4 wrote:I'm using the stock bar with some irons from Motion Pro. Tips.

Seems like the newer rear wheel, while lighter than the older generation wheel, has less drop in the center. That's my story anyway...

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
I can give you a small simple tip to appreciate and understand how good the stock bar is that comes with the No-Mar setup. It's this. Try using a Harbor Freight stock bar.

Re: RE: Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Oh, its good. I know this. My XS11 tires slid on and off like greased butter. They have a generous drop center though.gixxerjasen wrote:I can give you a small simple tip to appreciate and understand how good the stock bar is that comes with the No-Mar setup. It's this.

I really don't suspect the bar. Maybe operator headspace and timing issues...but honestly can't say. All I know is I spilled one too many cheap beers during the fiasco and had to switch to cheap whiskey.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
The fact that I rode mine to work again is not worth reporting here.
The fact that it was 62 degrees and I almost had to turn on the heated grips is worth mentioning.
