I echo the opinion that a Yamaha FJR1300, model year 2013 or later, is the way to go. Heated grips, cruise control are stock. Electrically adjustable windscreen, nimble handling yet steady. No trun ...

My CB1100F is fully stock, but previous owners have touched up black parts with what appears to be thick enamel and a whisk broom. So, little by little I am cleaning this up and either polishing or ...

Sorry. I'm 68. If I had a pristine side cover fall off my 30 some-odd-year-old bike and get crushed by a truck, I'd sit down and cry. When you are 48 you are at the top of your game, both health an ...

I finally finished up the installation of the newly refurbished carbs, gave the CB1100F a good electric tuneup (plugs and wires) and got the old beast running! After some nasty chuffs, pops, rattle ...

I had just started riding in earnest when this came out. After 6 years in the Army and various attempts at selling appliances and cars, I went back to school. I convinced my wife we could save money ...

Thanks. I saw this book mentioned elsewhere on this forum and already ordered it. I will study the book first to see if it is something I want to tackle. There is a shop in Seattle that caters to k ...

The last time I removed a set of 4 carbs from a Japanese bike was when I was 48, I jogged every day, and I weighed 20 pounds less. Today I am 68 years old, and the only jogging that happens around ...

I did a quick Google search and apparently there are kits to rebuild the liners of helmets, even ones made by Arai. Of course, if the hard part has been compromised or had deteriorated, then don't do ...

Nice.

What did you do, unearth an old Honda dealership that was buried by a sandstorm? Very Happy

I'll say you have your work cut out for you. If you decide to give up on one of the 1100F's, shoot me a PM as ...

Does it have its own gravitational field?

Welcome to the forum FLYPIG.

Have you checked out the "Crossing the Double Yellow (no redeeming value)" section?

Not yet. Maybe some day, but for now, I like just talking ab ...

Although I've been a member of this forum for several months, I never got around to logging in and seeing what's going on. It was riding season and my Project 1100F was sitting in the corner on the b ...

This will probably generate some catcalls and cries of BS, but it is a cheap and easy way to clear up scratched and fogged clear plastic: Lemon Pledge. Yep, the furniture polish. Works on windscree ...
