The pipe that would ever need cleanout is a good 2 feet below the "T" I added. If I get effluent that high up God help me Quote

Those block are the big boys, solid. I normally use the hollow style then fill the middle with stone. Do they rely on their weight to hold them or is there some kind of anchor, glue? Nice place Eric. These particular blocks have a lip on the bottom back of block that locks them into the course below and gives each successive couse about a 1 inch set back. Wall is supposed to be 3 foot high at least at the staircase end then will probably step down. Thanks for the compliment and again you will see it soon? In person? Quote

It has an arrow, so you know which way to put it on. <wink> Seriously, that looks pretty cool. The craftsmanship looks really good in the pictures, so it probably looks and feels pretty good in the flesh, too. Nothing like “adding lightness” for improvements in several ways. Let’s hope it adds some power as well. 2 Quote

That's a predictable Klipsch Forum statement 😎... ie, tweeters that measure 40in x 25.5in. 😳 I would be guilty as charged on that one. Here are a few pics. Before: After: Took the GT out for a 30 minute ride yesterday and I am very happy with the new sound. Should not be overly obnoxious for the neighbours, but they will hear me coming now. 4 Quote

I know those bags and trunk are handy, but it sure looks sleek without them. Do you do much touring, and ride year round? All this talk about bikes has given me a fever! 1 Quote

Thought I would never have a trunk on a bike, but now I can not imagine not having one for riding to work or on a trip. Nice choice on the Arrow 1 hour ago, HPower said: 1 Quote

We you meet a guy at the racetrack and he rides 2 different bikes in 2 days....the pressure is on. Did you watch that bagger race at Laguna? That was crazy! 2 Quote
HPower Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Yes the bags and top case are very handy, but they come off in 30 seconds for each. I only bought her about 6 weeks ago (first of Sept.) and am still getting back in the riding mode after not having a bike in 10-12 years. The plan is to get out next summer for a couple good tours, provided Covid will allow some nice destinations by next year. You will notice some of the fallen leaves in the above shots, which means up here (I am about a hour north of Toronto), winter is around the corner. ☹️ Probably only a couple decent days for a ride remain before tucking the bike away in the garage until next April. 3 Quote

Same here, I was able to get in a 6 hour ride to Ohio last week to St Marys lake. been wanting to ride over there for awhile, It was a rare warm day and I made a quick decision and 30 minutes later on was on the bike on my way. Kind of like getting a phone call from Bill saying I am already at the speedway. 30 minutes later I was headed there. 1 Quote

Mine come off that quick as well. But It is no way the same as your KTM, the FJR is still a sport tour bike no matter what, even sans panniers and top case. It needs a better suspension components. 2 Quote

The Yamaha was on my short list along with the BMW R1200/1250 RS. I ultimately went with the SDGT because it leans toward the sport side of things but figured if I added the top case it would still be comfortable enough to convince the wife to get out for some riding. Your FJR must be great for longer two up rides? 3 Quote
USNRET Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Purchased but no delivery until I close on the new place in 3 weeks. Yes, that is a reflection 13 Quote
