    Thinking about an FJR1300

    I may have to go the route before too long.... Getting rid of the wife now (she hates riding) so I'll need room for a GF or two.

    New paint

    Leaving it like this for now. I may repaint the airbox cover yellow and go with the speed block graphics I had thought about but that'd be spring or next summer. Honest opinions welcome.

    Tyre pressure loss - what's normal ?

    Even barometric pressure changes may change the tire pressure a bit. Check the tires cold then ride it a bit to warm them up. Check the pressures when you've heated the tires and see what they are. What Henry said too.

    How's the insurance on the 13' fz8

    The bad part is that insurance companies consider the 8 a sportbike. Flo and State Farm said the same thing. Must be advertising. I'm wondering what they'll do with the new 09 .

    Turn Signals: The Good & The Bad

    One of them had a bad LED. I'm just gonna order another one. Compared to the Rizoma version.... Good for the money.

    Now we're making progress. Tomorrow we're gonna do the fenders and work out the graphics for the "Speed blocks". Keep in mind this ain't my handiwork.

    DONE...for now As it sits now. I posted the photos on FB and got the perfect response "What is it" ? Gonna keep it like this for awhile and may do the racing theme later sometime. The ebay mirrors are freakin awesome BTW and 29 bucks. The right rear signal won't blink for some reason but the...

    So this weekend we're gonna put it all back together. My buddy shot the final blue on the parts he thought should be blue. EJ is gonna finish the clear coat sat morning.

    DECIDED

    Hopefully this weekend. My buddy is an OTR truck driver so his days off have been hit or miss. I've had a couple of schools I've had to go to and work related teaching so my days off have not amounted to shit this summer. So far the FZ8 has been the best bike I never get to ride LOL.

    Ringing noise when riding

    Mine makes a funny noise to but I attribute that to a wind whistle in the bug shield/mini fairing. I've had several bikes to do that. Hear the noise and move a free hand in front of the fairing or use masking tape to see if noise changes..
