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.

Superglue and baking g soda make a great panel repair solution Hud.

Rode it to work...50 degrees for the ride to work this morning

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.

I think I know this guy. Hes got lawnmowers and scooters for sale in his front yard next to the tractor. He's the smart guy in the neighborhood who can make a livin without selling meth or confederate flags...

Isn't he the guy with working TV stacked on top of the broken TV?

So he can watch TV from the couch on the front porch! Duh-huh.

Tuck'd my buddy's GS away and put my FJR on the lift in anticipation of over-the -winter maint. and farklin'






I know... I know... Dirting up my garage with a filthy Bavarian... 'Friend in need Lol

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.

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.

Uncle Hud,

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

It's what I'm gonna do! Just installed my Reznor 30K garage heater so I can actually work on the bike this winter!

Engine Oil/Filter change.

I changed the engine oil and the oil filter...

The engine oil and the oil filter are changed.

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.

I moved mine to install an overhead garage shelving unit, that only half of showed up...so needless to say, that didn't happen. WTF?...at least Ohio State was more consistent than FedEx
