FJRocket -
Thanks Matt. Your encouragement is appreciated and your posts are always pretty fun and informative.

Today is beautifully sunny. 38 degrees, and I also still have a steep driveway full of snow. It won't be riding weather for a while here in Alaska, unless there's a real retreat of the snow and no more new. It's just too risky. You can't believe how much frost and black ice hides in the shade.

I haven't farkled much. Just put on the Fenda Extenda with a two part marine grade epoxy. Took some photo's, nut have no web site to post to. I'm expecting the much ballyhooed fork brace (black one) soon. But, I'm waiting to install it till some other post their heat related experiences. I want to put on some Moko's and a Scott oil filter. That'd probably be it for me on the FJR. I put on a new rear Pilot Sport on the R1 yesterday and have a Loomis 5 wgt 9' rod I'm building. I plan to do a clean install of Windows XP on the machine I am posting from right now soon, but I have another computer to work from while I build up my ABS system.

Later
