Buying an FJR and getting the bug for LD riding has a downside when you live in a 60 year old house with a detached and uninsulated 1 car garage.

…..It makes you build a new 3 car garage with a house attached and then fill it with more gadgets.  Besides being moderately expensive it makes you want to be able to surf the Internet when you’re spending all the time in your garage.

Having a nice carpeted floor (leftover baby blue from Dad’s house), a heater, and access to FJRForum.com
means you can get stuff done.  And tonight I did the last major electrical upgrade by converting over the Magnum Blasters to a relay and 12 gauge wires.  Truth is I’ve probably been wearing out my horn switch with the 10 amps of juice and risked welding it shut.  Not anymore and I even fabricated a little bracket for the relay and attached it to the coolant reservoir.  It will be under the right, lower fairing when I’m finished.

Just for an evening ego boost I reinstalled the recently modified, upgraded, and resprung front shocks from GPSuspension.com.   Can’t test them yet, but I hope to soon!
