What did you do to your FJR today?

Put a new T32GT on the rear. That's the third T32GT for the rear now. I had to retire this last one with 5100 miles on it to make EOM, with maybe 1000 miles left on it. I got 6000 miles out of my first T32GT.

Installed new front brake pads. I originally only checked the right side and the pads still looked like they had a lot of life left. The left side was a different story. Two of the pads were down to about nothing. I'm glad I checked them and installed the new pads.

Put the new Angel GT A-spec on the front. I really love that Marc Parnes balancer. Washed it and the GS. Really bummed I had to cancel on EOM.

You washed your Marc Parnes balancer? A thin layer of grease on the shaft to prevent rust is all it needs.

I went for a ride..about 5 hours. This was my 3rd ride after my accident. I took 2 - ibuprofen beforehand and had a long soak in the jet tub with 2 more ibuprofen afterwards

I know what yer thinkin...those wheelies are TWICE as scary as they were before. But not to worry, you'll soon adjust and all will be well again. Congratulations on the riding.

Changed the oil and filter and went for a little ride. Finally hit the 200 miles ridden mark for the year. Yeah - 200. Just been that kinda year. EOM should be interesting!

Better than me. Well, for the FJR anyway.

I think he means he washed the FJR and the GS.

Yeah, but I couldn't resist an honest ribbing. He set himself up.

Lubed the pivot points
Checked the oil
Added air (1.0 psi down after 3 weeks)
Put the top case on
Swapped the shorty windscreen for stock with a Laminar Lip.

Ready for EOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF you find yourself rolling into the EOM hotel with Wheaton on the back seat, a slow, deliberate (so everyone can see and know who it is) parade lap is required.

Got the backrest pad in for my topcase. Unfortunately, when they improved the cases with footman loops, they didn’t modify the backrest part to match. So I had to cut an already overpriced part to fit. Luckily, it went okay.

I didn’t want to take a chance on Wheaton getting sleepy at eom and needing to ride on the back of my bike- and having him having to lean back on bare metal hinges.

Why, I’d never hear the end of it.
