Ok Ray
With your new found stay install experience how about you bring yourself down here to our currently beautiful Texas weather and show me how it’s done

If you are totally OK with sustained profanity and promise no monsoons......... here's a good one, after I swapped my spare wheels/new rubba in, went for a ride, check engine light, ABS light, TCS light on constantly, no speedo readout although cluster lit, menu functions, signals work, cruise will not engage. What did I F up? All connectors are connected.

Profanity is expected around my projects, and usually provided at no extra charge. Bring it! Glad you found the error culprit.

Rode it to work...

Paid out of pocket to have the thermostat replaced due to overheating when stopped or in very slow traffic. It fixed the problem. Pulled the SR357 and put on the factory rack Wednesday. Took that off and put the SR357 and topcase back on yesterday. Fiddling trying to shoehorn stuff into the side case is a pain in my butt. I carry too much stuff to just run side cases. Interestingly, the bars had super high vibration with the factory rack on. Went back to normal with the SR357 back on. All about harmonics, I guess.

Will likely give the FJR a bath from all the gravel dust and rainwash that I rode through this past ride. Tires look good enough to do the Hungry Mother ride next Saturday as well. Likely change out the brake and clutch fluid. If I am still looking for stuff to do, I will contemplate the Blowjob that Warchild used to always perform.

Dang mr Wheaton! Yah got me thinking I should be doing stuff!! I guess I could give it a bath and check oil and tire pressure...

Dammit sonny! Call me Mr. Wheaton one more time, and I'll make you mow the grass for me again!

Are you gonna try to give him a blow job too? Weirdo!! I would never do that stupid radiator shit, just because of the dumb name and implications. I'm secure in my manhood, but that's too far over my line in the sand!

This. This is what I did.

Only 6179 mikes on that tire. A bit disappointed because the roadsmart seemed to be a harder compound. Pretty greasy when cold, so I thouvht it would wear longer.

But, it needs another 46 miles or I am kinda screwed tomorrow.

You got it.

I've seen people limp home 100 miles from Clinton, AR with 1" wide steel strips.

Where'd the 46 miles come from then in yer other post then? I assume yer playing in Arky. That tar won't play an hour, let alone a day in Arky. You could limp home at a steady 3000 rpm though if yer 46 miles from yer destination.

I road my FJR today about 130 miles. Any day on the FJR is a good day.

46 miles to Fayetteville and a new Tar! Woohoo!

Also got propositioned to go to a swimmin' hole in Hector AR by a rather unsightly gal whom had summer teeth. She was excited because she finalky got full time employment cleaning out dead chixken carcasses so they could put new lay'ers in the nests.

Dead chickens always gets me in the mood for skinny dippin'! JSNS....or not.

Silverback, that is simply just TMI. Gross.

That was the old Wheaton. I showed up at the Ramble with a new set of tars. Art/Roadrunner wouldn't believe it. I would have loved to see the shock on his face.

So, since it is going to be a nice warm 92 today, I should work on the bike soon. Brake fluid, wash it, that kinda thing.
