I was at the local Honda dealer today and was told that there will be no 2015 CB's. The 2015 Deluxe model is sold out. In 30 years will ours be as popular as the 1975 CB750 was?

Are there any soft saddlebags that will fit the CB without relocating the turn signals? I was at the local Honda shop today and everyone they had in stock would hit the turn signal. One would fit great but one of the straps running across the seat that hold the bags on would be under my butt and that would not be comfortable. I would like some that are fairly easy to remove and not be mounted permanently. To be used only for trips to carry things. I have a tail bag but need more room when traveling.

I did a search and only found one post so I'd like a second opinion....

Anyone using the bosch 3300 oil filter?

Looking for some recommendations on a comfortable seat that absorbs some of the bumps of the road and is still stylish.

Preferably a cafe racer styling but, I will choose comfort over style.

so anybody here go fishing, if so how do you mount your fishing gear on the bike? I am getting a rack for my bike but in the mean time i'm trying to figure out how to mount a rod and tackle box for fresh water fishing.

Hi
Could any one advise where I can purchase me

The spark plugs got me thinking.....What spare parts should one stock to avoid extended down time?

This is my one week anniversary. 350 miles and accessory number 2.

Turning up at a CB rally with an FJR is like turning up at a party with, well.... errrr .... ahhh .... ummm. Methinks that it is best left to your own imagination. You will note that in the group photos at the rally the FJR, and Cormanus’ ST, were quietly pushed aside. Bit like the mad aunts at a family gathering. However that is not the point. On taking delivery of the FJR at Eaglerider Marietta I did a walk around with the store manager. One of the things I did note was the condition of the tyres (tires?). Well, they were good, looked on the right side of half-life with good grooving all the way to the centre (center?). Please note that I am endeavouring to become familiar with the North American spelling conventions, just so we are all on the same page, so to speak.

A day later, under the guidance of ride4now, I was gradually getting the “wrong side of the road” under control and by the time we had wended our way up to Neels Gap I had a reasonable appreciation of the FJR. Not as nimble as a VFR750, or quite as torquey as the CB, but agile enough and with more than adequate power. Keep the revs up and the power coming on when established in the corners and it was a lot of fun.

So three days later I had had a lot of fun. Just under a 1000miles added to the FJR. On the Sunday, Cormanus and I followed SanPete up the Blue Ridge Parkway. I was feeling a little slow. My 70 year old brain and body, despite a lifetime of almost puritanically healthy living and total devotion to asceticism, was becoming a little weary. But that was not my main concern. I felt, when nicely established in those wonderful BRP sweepers, that if I tightened up the line with any vigour (vigor?) the back end seemed to slide a little. Nothing serious but just more than necessary.

After saying goodbye to SanPete we made our way back to Stechoah. At one stage we encountered some heavy rain. A passing thunder storm. Cormanus was leading and for one reason or another came to a halt, a red light maybe. I applied brakes and noted that deceleration was not quite as effective as expected and that the ABS was operating. My line was to his left side so I wasn’t going to rear end him but I did stop about a half wheel length alongside him. This was not real good. Unnerving in fact.
On reaching the Iron Horse I took a shufti at the rear tyre (tire?) and guess what?



After another couple of hundred miles on Monday, including the Dragon, the rear end was becoming quite active. On Tuesday we checked out of the Iron Horse and I had the rear changed at Wheelers in Robinsville when it looked like this:



As an aside this tyre (tire?) is a ContiMotion. Continental make some beaut products however the ContiMotion is described, by Continental, as a “Sport Touring radial for the price conscious rider”. Get what you pay for I guess.

Both Eddie at Eaglerider and Ken Wheeler couldn’t do enough to help. They were fantastic. I rolled into Wheelers and around thirty minutes later I saw this, a Bridgestone Battlax.



I scrubbed the Battlax in on 129 south out of Robinsville. At our first stop Cormanus commented, “Got your dancing shoes on again?” Yes, I had.


Cheers
