I'm sorry, what? I thought the #1 rule of FJR Club was we don't sell FJR's :)

In my garage they multiply like rabbits!

Does anyone really need 13 FJRs??? Does anyone really *want* 13 FJRs??? I have found the answer to be NO!

Now, before everyone gets their panties in a bunch:

One of those was bought on the cheap specifically as a parts bike.

Two of them are nut currently assembled/running and are long term projects.

And a couple of them were bought specifically to flip after getting some much needed TLC. (More freaking projects)

And one of them will go to Europe for the long term next year or 2026.

...My only complaint on the FZ1 is that I wish they'd double layered it so the ground was under the power, so you could just run the wire to the block with minimal split to it. Having to split and go around to the other side leaves it messier than I'd like it to be....
My FZ-1 (at least 12 years old) has the main ground, trigger, and 12V connection right next to each other on the same side of the block. The PCB has a solder line to the circuit grounds. 4 FJRs and almost 200K miles later, still works like a champ.

Today, 3 of my good buddies and I rode the motorcycles. For me and one other, it was about 275 miles. One other cut it short by about 100 miles, and the 4th met us in the middle from North LA and he probably rode about as much as I did.

Randy (north LA) has a 2023 GSXR 1000GT with a recently upgraded rear shock (not sure from what - about 100 pounds more spring stiffness). Sweet ride:

Mike is enjoying his brand new '24 AT - I like the color combinations on this bike.

Image

Alex chose the RT today - the white color on this bike is really nice.

Image

We met in the middle at a taco stand we all like. I had the Cuban sandwich - different, but tasty.

Image

And of course, we stopped mid afternoon for the obligatory confection.

Nice day in the back country.

Stay thirsty, my friends....

I prefer the PC-8 over the FZ1... much more compact, which I need on a bike with little under seat room for one..... currently have an FZ1 I"ll trade for a PC-8 if ya like...... I don't see the logic in one of them fancy electronic fuse boxes... what the heck we need all that complication for? Meh. K.I.S.S.

I am not usually a fan of white bikes, but that AT is a nice looking bike!

Not to be pedantic but that is not a classic Cuban sandwich. Discussions on a proper Cuban sandwich in FL can probably get as heated as a discussion on gumbo in LA. :lol:

Had one of those on my 14 GS under the back seat. I liked it very much. Bought one when I got the 21 GS and had to return it. The newer bike did not have room for it under the rear seat, unless I put it in an unaccessible area in the tail. Kind of defeated the purpose.
I spent most of my money on guns, motorcycles, women, and whiskey. The rest I just wasted!

Been running a Fuzeblocks since my 16 FJR, moved it over to the 22 as soon as I rode it home. Been 100% reliable. All accessories come off it.

gixxerjasen wrote: Wed Nov 27, 2024 1:30 pm If I didn't have to pull the wires going from the front of the bike to the back I'd just move the one over from the FJR, since the FJR is currently only using one slot on the FZ1 so it's kind of a waste, but I'm lazy. :D
I got un-lazy and went out to the garage to pull it off. Seems I mis-remembered and there's three devices connected to it. Guess I can expect this "Mis-remembering" thing to get worse as old age continues to set in.

Now I have to buy a new one.
