@@brotherlestat305 Wish it was. I would say in most cases it is a hostile reference to Jesus. Psalm 2 type rebellion.

Hi GrumpyOldRider. Don't think I had those when I got the bike. Think the police must have removed that wiring when they auctioned off the bike.

Fantastic!

???????

I used two wide velcro strips to keep the seat on the metal plate beneath it. Works well and is removable

God bless you Ulas. Simply trusting in Jesus' finished work on the cross is the essence of the Christian life. As believers we are legally justified in God's presence...declared to be 'not guilty' of our sins anymore. Repentance is a constant attitude towards God still, even a daily prayer... since Jesus put it into the Lord's prayer... "forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us". The relationship with God requires this...because we want to live in fellowship with God, daily. We don't have to manufacture daily 'grief' for our sins, to keep our salvation alive, because salvation is only a work of Jesus, finished upon the cross, but in order to maintain fellowship with our God and Father, we should repent often.

Repentance requires God to grant it (Acts 11:18). The natural man can't manufacture it, but the Holy Spirit, who intercedes for us in Heaven works in our hearts to change our minds and hearts towards sin and God. 1 Corinthians 2:14 states: "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit." The Holy Spirit gives us the required discernment...that we might be repentant..showing Godly sorrow for our sins from the heart.

Good Internet quote on repentance: "Here’s one way to distinguish between worldly grief and godly grief: one mobilizes you into action and the other immobilizes you. Godly grief is a fruitful and effective emotion. We are not meant to wallow in this grief. It is supposed to spur us to action, to change, to make right our wrongs, to be zealous for good works, to run from sin and start walking in the opposite direction."

Go for it! Test ride first to confirm it is what you want.

@@lornescott-wilson6144 No dealers around me have one on the floor.🤔

@@travelinben1966 Just got a '16 FJR1300 (Gen III) in blue. I couldn't find one on a floor myself on the east coast but off of all the homework I have done over the years on this bike along with talking to fellow riders, they have all said the FJR is the 'Crème de la crème' of motorcycles. I can't stop smiling when I ride my FJR. Fair warning though, sport mode is no joke! EDIT: Also, the weight is no laughing matter, she's a beast in the weight department and takes some time getting used to. When on the move the weight is not noticed what's so ever, its only noticeable when having to move it around or back it in.

@@dabaconz4749 Thanks for your feedback and ride safe!👍

Yes, two large white panniers. Didnt use them much. Preferred the sleek look.

Hi Harry. Are you wanting to make a passenger seat or are you wanting to restore your bike to Police spec?

@@lornescott-wilson6144 No I just want it to stay original. But the metal clips are not locking into the black pladtic parts on the bike. Can you show me your plastic parts? If you know what I mean? Then I can see what is the difference.

​​@@harrykramer7479 Unfortunately, the RT was a previous bike of mine. I now ride a Tiger 1200. I would suggest joining a Facebook group called BMW R1200RTP, post pics of the bits you are battling with and someone will respond to your question. Failing that, send me a pic on Fb and I might remember how the bits fit.

Hi Gregory. No. Installed a new hydraulic tensioner (stock standard part). The new part works absolutely fine. The old part was 12 years old and had done 90000km. Im happy if the new part is good for another 90000km

Hi John. Thanks for the encouragement. Re: engine heat...have not experienced any cylinder head warpage or valve issues. I have been riding the Tiger for about 60000Km now through Brisbane summer and winter, but mostly on the highway. It does get hot on the legs on a hot day (i.e. above 30C), especially in slow traffic, where the engine radiator fan comes on and off frequently. The heat is less/ better than my old FJR1300 and K100RS-(hot Al tank used to cook your legs in traffic)...but it still does pay to wear trousers on hot, slow traffic days. I think if you were to ride it offroad slowly, on a hot day, that might be unpleasant.

Hi Roberto. I also did the valve clearances on the bike recently, quite a few shims were too tight and since replacing them, the bike is running much more sweetly, especially at lower rpm

I got the valve cover replaced also by a recall. Valve revision was included, that saved me the headache. Good job1@@lornescott-wilson6144

Hi Matt G. I still want to give the Next 2 tyres a go. The reason I didnt was because my tyre dealer said they would take a month to get a pair and I needed tyres sooner than that....so went for Bridgestone Battleaxe instead. The tyre dealer didn't even have any Next 1s in stock.

Hi Wayne. Most bikes with a radiator up front tend to do that. The only bikes I have had, which are truly cool on hot days have been the Airhead, Oilhead and Camhead BMW boxer twins, which only warm your ankles a bit. The FJR1300 Yamaha I found to be the hottest on a hot day. Wearing trousers on a hot day is probably best practice. Slow traffic riding on a hot day is definititey the hottest. On a hot day, I stand up now and again and also spread my knees away from the tank to get extra air cooling. I have noticed this as I often ride in shorts, but it is not a deal breaker for me...a common bike issue.

I have had lots of bikes - some have thrown heat when you stop or slow traffic (road king, st1300, Suzuki Bandit) but once you get moving heat disappears. Not so on the explorer - it is like sitting in the car with the heater blowing on legs. Before this bike I had a 2007 K1300gt - wish I had never sold it. I am thinking I will sell explorer and by an BMW 1250 RT. Good video - liked the mod to the RTP. Might be an option as well and use your mod to create space for a bag. Thanks again.

@@waynev5097 You can't go wrong with an RT. I do think the GS is a better bike when it comes to ergonomics (especially the desired 90 degree knee angle) and suspension travel. I was always suspicious of the 1250RT knee angle. It looks a bit tight for an RT, especially when compared to older RTs (which were fine). I have ridden R100RT, R1100RT and 2011 R1200RT and they all had spacious leg room, haven't tried the 1250RT though, a test ride will confirm for sure.

Hi Robert. Mine is 212.5cm (83.6 inches). It was a H14 rudder setup, which I replaced with a longer tube. Tip: You can always shorten a tube that is too long, but once it is too short...you will have to buy a new one. Also, bear in mind, mine was custom made to fit with my rudder arms, which may or may not be completly straight, yours may be ever so slightly different. The goal is to have both rudders blades parallel with each other, or slightly toe in.

Sounds like a fair price to me. I would recommend taking it for a test ride and if everything works well, go for it

Hi Danny. It definitely uses more than a modern water-cooled bike. Probably have to add 100ml per 1000km if memory serves.

Only available to the police force I'm afraid in white here in Australia 🦘🦘🌏

Hi Arthur. I find it steers fine with Hobie rudders. Also means you can sail and motor at the same time....a big plus in light to no wind. With the motor only on the back...it also steered fine

Arthur, have you seen my current set up. See th-cam.com/video/yTiSgEtfPA8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jM94twCf63frxTNz This, I believe is the best option....to retain sailing and motoring options....without having to remove your rudders each time. I had to extend the brackets, as the motor fits behind the bar, when fitted in front....but can be turned backwards for starting and for reversing. Your 2x6 option should work fine. Enjoy. Send me a link, if you make a video.

@@lornescott-wilson6144 Thanks for the link, I see how you do that in front. I'll set mine up like that, if possible, tho I have an electronic motor, with a battery, so it may be awkward. I've used this motor on my canoe. I was surprised how fast it goes, when you use a paddle and a motor, at the same time.

@@arthurzengeler8296 Yes, indeed. I tried to motorize my kayak. Went well, but difficult to steer. Needs an outrigger and would be perfect

Contacts: Hi Mazby.... If you want to place an order or have questions, the best way to contact is E-mail. info@airtrikes.net, taravas@mail.ru

Hi Frank. As far as I can see, the original crossbar is just a tube....but it is quite thick-walled....probably 2-3mm thick. Haven"t noticed any reinforcing. Will let you know if it survives out on the water or not

Ouch! You never know what the previous owner did. Did you manage to fix your bike after the cam tensioner broke?

Hi Kenzimilu. Agreed. Dont have a video making seat, but it is a simple procedure: 1. Cut 2cm thick plywood to the shape of the the metal plate. 2. Buy foam of at least 2 inches thick. 3. Buy vinyl to cover it and a staple gun or possibly nails. 4. Stretch the vinyl over the foam and staple it onto the plywood. Stretch and staple...stretch and staple. It is not difficult. Redo it if need be until you are happy with it. 5. Attach it to the metal plate with large velcro strips, so it can be removed when required. The metal plate is strong and will easily take a 90kg passenger.

@@lornescott-wilson6144 awesome .... thanks a lot bro... greetings from Costa Rica 👌🏻

Hi. Try Airtrikes.net It is a Canadian company, but the redrive gearbox is actually made elsewhere...Belarus or closeby in Eastern Europe
