What did you do to your FJR today?

[El Toro Joe]

Did a little Labor Day ride in SEO, met up with Gray Ray and Denny.

I'm guessing it was a quick ride

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.

He seamed fine to me...the heart thing definitely hasn't slowed him down.

With your track record... Lemme know how that works out for ya.

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.

Fixed it for you, Mark...

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).

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.

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.

Washed it today after 3 months and 8k miles. Installed a fenda extenda also.

I did the same. Its a nice changer.

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?

I'm using the stock bar with some irons from Motion Pro. Tips. Technique and lotsa loob.

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.

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

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.

Oh, its good. I know this. My XS11 tires slid on and off like greased butter. They have a generous drop center though.

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.

A little tip, lube the center of the wheel too.

[Redfish]

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.

As in the drop center?

That would be correct. Watch the No-mar videos.
