Yes I’d say the 55 is out for me. Mostly just 2 up is sketchy That and backing her down hill out of the garage on uneven ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Decided to start it to make sure it still runs. Then I rode it for a bit to make sure I can still pilot. Affitmative on both counts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travisty Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Picked up my new demo yesterday and rode it home. It is a Tiger 800 XRT. Hopefully I will be able to keep this one for a bit. Still chasing my brakes on the race bike. I just can't get te feel I used too. Might have to rebuild the master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Not my bike but changed a rear tire on a sportster today. I'm confused, some bolts are metric some bolts are standard and you have to take the left shock off to remove the brake caliper bolts. Fucking Harley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Touring screen that might fit the lines of the bike better than the original. Rick's starter relay. Weatherproof Maxi fuse holders inplace of the main fuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howabusa Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Yep. A little 150 mile ride today. It was good to be back on the FJR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Rode the MT for 170 miles or so. Got back home and washed the FJR. Then decided to take the FJR for a short ride. This was the first time riding the FJR since getting the MT. Wow, the bikes are incredibly different, but in a good way. Also noticed my top case has a crack in it.

zx3vfr Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Rode about 45 miles around summit county. Thought I was going to get my ass kicked by a bunch of Harley riders leaving a bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bled the brakes and switched to water on the track bike. Also put the bodywork back on. Also did the hubs and rotors on the truck. What a pain in the ass that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Did a test run with the cruise control today it worked great. Found out real quick not to hit resume in anything lower than 5th gear. Almost most did a cruise control whoolie. Took it out sans fairings because i didn't want to take them back off if I had to tweak something. I live on a very hilly road and it held 55 in 6th grar (OD) and only lost 2 mph up the biggest hill before it kicked in. When i got back to the house I did realize the linkage had tightened up which is odd cuz I honestly thought it would do the opposite over time. That's when I discovered this. Not sure if I did it during the install or if it was a faulty part originally but there were enough threads to just reposition the bracket and shorten it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Got out today after church for my first real ride this year. About 300 miles in 6 hrs. Not in riding shape yet. My neck is sore. Still it was a great day overall. I even got to meet up with @NinjaDoc. It was great to see you Nivin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with the angle and more to do with damaged part most likely from over tightening. Hard to see but here is final install with my wire harness back in front of it.
